If $\omega $ is a non-real cube root of unity and n is not a multiple of 3, then $Δ=\begin{vmatrix}1 & ω^n & ω^{2n}\\ω^{2n} & 1 & ω^n\\ω^n & ω^{2n} & 1\end{vmatrix}$ is equal to |
0 $ω$ $ω^2$ 1 |
0 |
The correct answer is option : 0 Applying $C_1→C_1+C_2+C_3,$ we get $Δ= (1 + ω^n +ω^{2n})\begin{vmatrix}1 & ω^n & ω^{2n}\\1 & 1 & ω^n\\1 & ω^{2n} & 1\end{vmatrix}$ $⇒Δ=0×\begin{vmatrix}1 & ω^n & ω^{2n}\\1 & 1 & ω^n\\1 & ω^{2n} & 1\end{vmatrix}$ $\begin{bmatrix}∵1+ω^n +ω^{2n}=0\\when\, n≠3k, k \in N \end{bmatrix}$ $⇒Δ=0$ |
