Assertion :

Δ=∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣(1+a1b1)(1+a21b21a1b1)1+a1b1(1+a1b2)(1+a21b22a1b2)1+a1b2(1+a1b3)(1+a21b23a1b3)1+a1b3(1+a2b1)(1+a22b21a2b1)1+a2b1(1+a2b2)(1+a22b22a2b2)1+a2b2(1+a2b3)(1+a22b23a2b3)1+a2b3(1+a3b1)(1+a23b21a3b1)1+a3b1(1+a3b2)(1+a22b22a3b2)1+a3b2(1+a3b3)(1+a23b23a3b3)1+a3b3∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣

Solution

The correct option is D Assertion is incorrect but Reason is correct
We know that,
1+a31b31=(1+a1b1)(1+a21b21a1b1)
So the determinant can be expressed as,
Δ=∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣(1+a1b1)(1+a21b21a1b1)1+a1b1(1+a1b2)(1+a21b22a1b2)1+a1b2(1+a1b3)(1+a21b23a1b3)1+a1b3(1+a2b1)(1+a22b21a2b1)1+a2b1(1+a2b2)(1+a22b22a2b2)1+a2b2(1+a2b3)(1+a22b23a2b3)1+a2b3(1+a3b1)(1+a23b21a3b1)1+a3b1(1+a3b2)(1+a22b22a3b2)1+a3b2(1+a3b3)(1+a23b23a3b3)1+a3b3∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣

Δ=∣ ∣ ∣(1+a21b21a1b1)(1+a21b22a1b2)(1+a21b23a1b3)(1+a22b21a2b1)(1+a22b22a2b2)(1+a22b23a2b3)(1+a23b21a3b1)(1+a22b22a3b2)(1+a23b23a3b3)∣ ∣ ∣

The determinant can be split as product of two determinants as under,
Δ=∣ ∣ ∣1a21a11a22a21a23a3∣ ∣ ∣×∣ ∣ ∣111b21b22b23b1b2b3∣ ∣ ∣

Reason is correct.
However, nothing can be said about Δ is equal to zero as one of the two determinants, in that case, will have to be zero.
That will be possible only when a pair of a1,a2,a3 are equal or a pair of b1,b2,b3 are equal.
Hence, Assertion is not always true.
