Question

Assertion :Consider D=∣ ∣a1a2a3b1b2b3c1c2c3∣ ∣ Let B1,B2,B3 be the co-factors of b1,b2, and b3 respectively, then a1B1+a2B2+a3B3=0 Reason: If any two rows (or columns) in a determinant are identical then value of determinant is zero.

A

Solution

The correct option is A Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion
Reason is true as let
Δ=∣ ∣abcabc123∣ ∣
Applying R2R2R1, we get
Δ=∣ ∣abc000123∣ ∣=0

Assertion:
B1= cofactor of b1=a2a3c2c3

B2= cofactor of b2=a1a3c1c3

B3= cofactor of b3=a1a2c1c2

Now a1B1+a2B2+a3B3=a1a2a3c2c3+a2a1a3c1c3a3a1a2c1c2
=∣ ∣a1a2a3a1a2a3c1c2c3∣ ∣=0 ........ [As two rows are identical]
Hence, both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation for assertion.
