    The value of the determinant \[\left| \,\begin{matrix}    1 & 1 & 1  \\    1 & 1-x & 1  \\    1 & 1 & 1+y  \\ \end{matrix}\, \right|\]is  [Pb. CET 2003]

    A) \[3-x+y\]

    B) \[(1-x)(1+y)\]

    C) \[xy\]

    D) \[-xy\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    \[\left| \,\begin{matrix}    1 & 1 & 1  \\    1 & 1-x & 1  \\    1 & 1 & 1+y  \\ \end{matrix}\, \right|=\left| \,\begin{matrix}    1 & 0 & 0  \\    1 & -x & x  \\    1 & 0 & y  \\ \end{matrix}\, \right|=-xy\].
