    Suppose \[\Delta =\left| \begin{matrix}    {{a}_{1}} & {{b}_{1}} & {{c}_{1}}  \\    {{a}_{2}} & {{b}_{2}} & {{c}_{2}}  \\    {{a}_{3}} & {{b}_{3}} & {{c}_{3}}  \\ \end{matrix} \right|\] and\[\Delta '=\left| \begin{matrix}    {{a}_{1}}+p{{b}_{1}} & {{b}_{1}}+q{{c}_{1}} & {{c}_{1}}+r{{a}_{1}}  \\    {{a}_{2}}+p{{b}_{2}} & {{b}_{2}}+q{{c}_{2}} & {{c}_{2}}+r{{a}_{2}}  \\    {{a}_{3}}+p{{b}_{3}} & {{b}_{3}}+q{{c}_{3}} & {{c}_{3}}+r{{a}_{3}}  \\ \end{matrix} \right|\]. Then

    A) \[\Delta '=\Delta \]

    B) \[\Delta '=\Delta \,\,(1-pqr)\]

    C) \[\Delta '=\Delta \,\,(1+p+q+r)\]

    D) \[\Delta '=\Delta \,\,(1+pqr)\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    [d] \[\Delta '=\left| \begin{matrix}    {{a}_{1}} & {{b}_{1}} & {{c}_{1}}  \\    {{a}_{2}} & {{b}_{2}} & {{c}_{2}}  \\    {{a}_{3}} & {{b}_{3}} & {{c}_{3}}  \\ \end{matrix} \right|+\left| \begin{matrix}    p{{b}_{1}} & q{{c}_{1}} & r{{a}_{1}}  \\    p{{b}_{2}} & q{{c}_{2}} & r{{a}_{2}}  \\    p{{b}_{3}} & q{{c}_{3}} & r{{a}_{3}}  \\ \end{matrix} \right|\] [All other determinants vanish] \[=\Delta +pqr\Delta =\Delta (1+pqr)\]
