For non-zero $a, b, c$,if $\Delta = \begin{vmatrix} 1 + a & 1 & 1 \\ 1 & 1 + b & 1 \\ 1 & 1 & 1 + c \end{vmatrix} = 0$,then the value of $\frac{1}{a} + \frac{1}{b} + \frac{1}{c} = $

  • A
    $abc$
  • B
    $\frac{1}{abc}$
  • C
    $-(a + b + c)$
  • D

Let $P = [a_{ij}]$ be a $3 \times 3$ matrix and let $Q = [b_{ij}]$,where $b_{ij} = 2^{i+j} a_{ij}$ for $1 \leq i, j \leq 3$. If the determinant of $P$ is $2$,then the determinant of the matrix $Q$ is:

If $a \neq p, b \neq q, c \neq r$ and $\left|\begin{array}{ccc}p & b & c \\ p+a & q+b & 2c \\ a & b & r\end{array}\right|=0$, then $\frac{p}{p-a}+\frac{q}{q-b}+\frac{r}{r-c}$ is equal to :

If $a, b, c$ are unequal,what is the condition that the value of the following determinant is zero? $\Delta = \left| \begin{array}{ccc} a & a^2 & a^3 + 1 \\ b & b^2 & b^3 + 1 \\ c & c^2 & c^3 + 1 \end{array} \right|$

By using properties of determinants,show that:
$\left|\begin{array}{ccc}1+a^{2}-b^{2} & 2 a b & -2 b \\ 2 a b & 1-a^{2}+b^{2} & 2 a \\ 2 b & -2 a & 1-a^{2}-b^{2}\end{array}\right|=\left(1+a^{2}+b^{2}\right)^{3}$
