    The value of the determinant\[\left| \begin{matrix}    1 & 1 & 1  \\    ^{m}{{C}_{1}} & ^{m+1}{{C}_{1}} & ^{m+2}{{C}_{1}}  \\    ^{m}{{C}_{2}} & ^{m+1}{{C}_{2}} & ^{m+2}{{C}_{2}}  \\ \end{matrix} \right|\]

    A)  1        

    B)  -1

    C)  0                    

    D)  none of these

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    [a] \[\left| \begin{matrix}    1 & 1 & 1  \\    ^{m}{{C}_{1}} & ^{m+1}{{C}_{1}} & ^{m+2}{{C}_{1}}  \\    ^{m}{{C}_{2}} & ^{m+1}{{C}_{2}} & ^{m+2}{{C}_{2}}  \\ \end{matrix} \right|\]=\[\left| \begin{matrix}    1 & 1 & 1  \\    ^{m}{{C}_{1}} & ^{m+1}{{C}_{1}} & ^{m+1}{{C}_{0}}{{+}^{m+2}}{{C}_{1}}  \\    ^{m}{{C}_{2}} & ^{m+1}{{C}_{2}} & ^{m+1}{{C}_{1}}{{+}^{m+1}}{{C}_{2}}  \\ \end{matrix} \right|\]\[\left| \begin{matrix}    1 & 1 & 0  \\    ^{m}{{C}_{1}} & ^{m+1}{{C}_{1}} & ^{m+1}{{C}_{0}}  \\    ^{m}{{C}_{2}} & ^{m+1}{{C}_{2}} & ^{m+1}{{C}_{1}}  \\ \end{matrix} \right|\] [Applying\[{{C}_{3}}\to {{C}_{3}}-{{C}_{2}}\]] \[=\left| \begin{matrix}    1 & 1 & 0  \\    ^{m}{{C}_{1}} & ^{m}{{C}_{0}}{{+}^{m}}{{C}_{1}} & ^{m+1}{{C}_{0}}  \\    ^{m}{{C}_{2}} & ^{m}{{C}_{1}}{{+}^{m}}{{C}_{2}} & ^{m+1}{{C}_{1}}  \\ \end{matrix} \right|\] \[=\left| \begin{matrix}    1 & 0 & 0  \\    ^{m}{{C}_{1}} & ^{m}{{C}_{0}} & ^{m+1}{{C}_{0}}  \\    ^{m}{{C}_{2}} & ^{m}{{C}_{1}} & ^{m+1}{{C}_{1}}  \\ \end{matrix} \right|\] [Applying\[{{C}_{2}}\to {{C}_{2}}-{{C}_{1}}\]] \[={}^{m}{{C}_{0}}^{m+1}{{C}_{1}}-{}^{m+1}{{C}_{0}}^{m}{{C}_{1}}=m+1-m=1\]
