Question:

The value of the determinant $\begin{vmatrix}a+b & b+c & c+a\\c & a & b\\1 & 1 & 1\end{vmatrix}$ is :

Options:

0

-1

1

2

Correct Answer:

0

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (1) → 0

$Δ=\begin{vmatrix}a+b & b+c & c+a\\c & a & b\\1 & 1 & 1\end{vmatrix}$

$R_1→R_1+R_2$

$\begin{vmatrix}a+b+c & a+b+c & a+b+c\\c & a & b\\1 & 1 & 1\end{vmatrix}$

$R_1$ is identical to $R_2$

$⇒Δ=0$
