Write the value of the following determinant :\(\begin{vmatrix}a-b& b-c & c-a \\[0.3em]b-c & c-a &a-b \\[0.3em]c-a & a-b & b-c\end{vmatrix}\)

Answer»

Applying C1 \(\longrightarrow\)C+ C+ C3, we get

\(\begin{vmatrix}0& b-c & c-a \\[0.3em]0 & c-a &a-b \\[0.3em]0 & a-b & b-c\end{vmatrix}=0\) 

[∵ All elements of C1 are zero]
