    \[\left| \,\begin{matrix}    a-b & b-c & c-a  \\    x-y & y-z & z-x  \\    p-q & q-r & r-p  \\ \end{matrix}\, \right|=\] [MNR 1987]

    A) \[a(x+y+z)+b(p+q+r)+c\]

    B) 0

    C) \[abc+xyz+pqr\]

    D) None of these

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    \[\left| \,\begin{matrix}    a-b & b-c & c-a  \\    x-y & y-z & z-x  \\    p-q & q-r & r-p  \\ \end{matrix}\, \right|=\left| \,\begin{matrix}    0 & b-c & c-a  \\    0 & y-z & z-x  \\    0 & q-r & r-p  \\ \end{matrix}\, \right|\] = 0 [by \[{{C}_{1}}\to {{C}_{1}}+{{C}_{2}}+{{C}_{3}}]\]
