MCQ
Using the factor theorem it is found that a + b, b + c and c + a are three factors of the determinant $\begin{vmatrix}-2\text{a}&\text{a}+\text{b}&\text{a}+\text{c}\\\text{b}+\text{a}&-2\text{b}&\text{b}+\text{c}\\\text{c}+\text{a}&\text{c}+\text{b}&-2\text{c}\end{vmatrix}$ the other factor in the value of the determinant is:
  • ✓
    4
  • B
    2
  • C
    a + b + c
  • D
    None of these.
✓

Answer

Correct option: A.
4
$\triangle=\begin{vmatrix}-2\text{a}&\text{a}+\text{b}&\text{a}+\text{c}\\\text{b}+\text{a}&-2\text{b}&\text{b}+\text{c}\\\text{c}+\text{a}&\text{c}+\text{b}&-2\text{c}\end{vmatrix}$

Let a + b = 2C, b + c = 2A and c + a = 2B

⇒ a + b + b + c + c + a = 2A + 2B + 2C

⇒ 2(a + b + c) = (A + B + C)

Also, a = (a + b + c) - (b + c) = (A + B + C) - 2A = B + C - A

Similarly, b = C + A - B, c = A + B - C

Hence, 4 is the order factor of the determinant.
