Concept:

Properties of Determinant of a Matrix:

  • If each entry in any row or column of a determinant is 0, then the value of the determinant is zero.
  • For any square matrix say A, |A| = |AT|.
  • If we interchange any two rows (columns) of a matrix, the determinant is multiplied by -1.
  • If any two rows (columns) of a matrix are same then the value of the determinant is zero.

 

Calculation:

Apply C2 → C2 + C3 

Taking common (a + b + c) from column 2, we get

As we can see that the first and the second column of the given matrix are equal. 

We know that, if any two rows (columns) of a matrix are same then the value of the determinant is zero.

∴ = 0
