  • question_answer
    If the lines  \[ax+by+c=0\], \[bx+cy+a=0\] and \[cx+ay+b=0\] be concurrent, then             [IIT 1985; DCE 2000, 02]

    A)            \[{{a}^{3}}+{{b}^{3}}+{{c}^{3}}+3abc=0\]                                    

    B)            \[{{a}^{3}}+{{b}^{3}}+{{c}^{3}}-abc=0\]

    C)            \[{{a}^{3}}+{{b}^{3}}+{{c}^{3}}-3abc=0\]                                     

    D)            None of these

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

               Here the given lines are                    \[ax+by+c=0\]                                  .....(i)                    \[bx+cy+a=0\]                                  .....(ii)                    \[cx+ay+b=0\]                                  .....(iii)                    The lines will be concurrent, if \[\left| \,\begin{matrix}    a & b & c  \\    b & c & a  \\    c & a & b  \\ \end{matrix}\, \right|=0\]                    Þ \[{{a}^{3}}+{{b}^{3}}+{{c}^{3}}-3abc=0\].
