    \[\left| \begin{matrix}    a+b & a & b  \\    a & a+c & c  \\    b & c & b+c  \\ \end{matrix} \right|\]is equal to:

    A)  \[4abc\]                             

    B)         \[abc\]                

    C)         \[{{a}^{2}}{{b}^{2}}{{c}^{2}}\]                                   

    D)         \[4{{a}^{2}}bc\]

    E)         \[4{{a}^{2}}{{b}^{2}}{{c}^{2}}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    \[\left| \begin{matrix}    a+b & a & b  \\    a & a+c & c  \\    b & c & b+c  \\ \end{matrix} \right|=\left| \begin{matrix}    b & -c & b-c  \\    a & a+c & c  \\    b & c & b+c  \\ \end{matrix} \right|\] \[(By\,{{R}_{1}}\to {{R}_{1}}-{{R}_{2}})\]                 \[=\left| \begin{matrix}    2b & 0 & 2b  \\    a & a+c & c  \\    b & c & b+c  \\ \end{matrix} \right|\]                                                 \[(by\,{{R}_{1}}\to {{R}_{1}}+{{R}_{3}})\]                 \[=\left| \begin{matrix}    2b & 0 & 0  \\    a & a+c & c-a  \\    b & c & c  \\ \end{matrix} \right|\]                                                 \[(By\,{{C}_{3}}\to {{C}_{3}}-{{C}_{1}})\]                 \[=2b(ac+{{c}^{2}}-{{c}^{2}}+ac)=4abc\]
