    If \[{{f}_{n}}(x)\], \[{{g}_{n}}(x)\], \[{{h}_{n}}(x),n=1,\,2,\,3\]are polynomials in x such that \[{{f}_{n}}(a)={{g}_{n}}(a)={{h}_{n}}(a),n=1,2,3\] and \[F(x)=\left| \begin{matrix}    {{f}_{1}}(x) & {{f}_{2}}(x) & {{f}_{3}}(x)  \\    {{g}_{1}}(x) & {{g}_{2}}(x) & {{g}_{3}}(x)  \\    {{h}_{1}}(x) & {{h}_{2}}(x) & {{h}_{3}}(x)  \\ \end{matrix} \right|\].                Then \[{F}'(a)\]is equal to

    A)            0

    B)            \[{{f}_{1}}(a){{g}_{2}}(a){{h}_{3}}(a)\]

    C)            1

    D)            None of these

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

               We have \[F(x)=\left| \begin{matrix}    {{f}_{1}}(x) & {{f}_{2}}(x) & {{f}_{3}}(x)  \\    {{g}_{1}}(x) & {{g}_{2}}(x) & {{g}_{3}}(x)  \\    {{h}_{1}}(x) & {{h}_{2}}(x) & {{h}_{3}}(x)  \\ \end{matrix} \right|\]                    \[\therefore F'(x)=\left| \begin{matrix}    f_{1}^{'}(x) & f_{2}^{'}(x) & f_{3}^{'}(x)  \\    {{g}_{1}}(x) & {{g}_{2}}(x) & {{g}_{3}}(x)  \\    {{h}_{1}}(x) & {{h}_{2}}(x) & {{h}_{3}}(x)  \\ \end{matrix} \right|+\left| \begin{matrix}    {{f}_{1}}(x) & {{f}_{2}}(x) & {{f}_{3}}(x)  \\    g_{1}^{'}(x) & g_{2}^{'}(x) & g_{3}^{'}(x)  \\    {{h}_{1}}(x) & {{h}_{2}}(x) & {{h}_{3}}(x)  \\ \end{matrix} \right|\] \[+\left| \begin{matrix}    {{f}_{1}}(x) & {{f}_{2}}(x) & {{f}_{3}}(x)  \\    {{g}_{1}}(x) & {{g}_{2}}(x) & {{g}_{3}}(x)  \\    h_{1}^{'}(x) & h_{2}^{'}(x) & h_{3}^{'}(x)  \\ \end{matrix} \right|\]                    Þ \[F'(a)=0\](since \[{{f}_{n}}(a)={{g}_{n}}(a)={{h}_{n}}(a),\ \ \ n=1,\ 2,\ 3)\]                    Therefore two rows in each determinant become identical on putting x = a.
