$\left|\begin{array}{ccc} a+b+2c & a & b \\ c & b+c+2a & b \\ c & a & c+a+2b \end{array}\right| = $

Let $A = [a_{ij}]$ and $B = [b_{ij}]$ be two $3 \times 3$ real matrices such that $b_{ij} = (3)^{(i+j-2)} a_{ji}$,where $i, j = 1, 2, 3$. If the determinant of $B$ is $81$,then the determinant of $A$ is:

$\left| {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{{a^2}}&{{b^2}}&{{c^2}}\\{{{(a + 1)}^2}}&{{{(b + 1)}^2}}&{{{(c + 1)}^2}}\\{{{(a - 1)}^2}}&{{{(b - 1)}^2}}&{{{(c - 1)}^2}}\end{array}} \right| = $
