NCERT Solutions for Class 12 Maths Chapter 4 Determinants Ex 4.2

Using the property of determinants and without expanding in Q 1 to 5, prove that

Question 1.
$\left| \begin{matrix} x & a & x+a \\ y & b & y+b \\ z & c & z+c \end{matrix} \right| =0$
Solution:
L.H.S = $\left| \begin{matrix} x & a & x \\ y & b & y \\ z & c & z \end{matrix} \right| +\left| \begin{matrix} x & a & a \\ y & b & b \\ z & c & c \end{matrix} \right|$
(C1 = C3 and C2 = C3)
= 0 + 0
= 0
= R.H.S

Question 2.
$\left| \begin{matrix} a-b & b-c & c-a \\ b-c & c-a & a-b \\ c-a & a-b & b-c \end{matrix} \right| =0$
Solution:
L.H.S = $\left| \begin{matrix} a-b & b-c & c-a \\ b-c & c-a & a-b \\ c-a & a-b & b-c \end{matrix} \right| =0$
