Question:

The value of the determinant $\begin{vmatrix}1 & x & y+z\\1 & y & z+x\\1 & z & x+y \end{vmatrix}$ is :

Options:

0

xyz

$x+y +z+1$

$3xyz$

Correct Answer:

0

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (1) → 0

$Δ=\begin{vmatrix}1 & x & y+z\\1 & y & z+x\\1 & z & x+y \end{vmatrix}$

$C_3→C_3+C_2$

$Δ=\begin{vmatrix}1 & x & x+y+z\\1 & y & x+y+z\\1 & z & x+y+z\end{vmatrix}=0$

as $C_1$ and $C_3$ are proportional
