Solution

The correct option is A 1
As vectors (1,a,a2),(1,b,b2),(1,c,c2) are non coplanar.
∣ ∣ ∣1aa21bb21cc2∣ ∣ ∣0 .....(1)
Now, ∣ ∣ ∣aa2a3+1bb2b3+1cc2c3+1∣ ∣ ∣=0
∣ ∣ ∣aa2a3bb2b3cc2c3∣ ∣ ∣+∣ ∣ ∣aa21bb21cc21∣ ∣ ∣=0
abc∣ ∣ ∣1aa21bb21cc2∣ ∣ ∣+∣ ∣ ∣aa21bb21cc21∣ ∣ ∣=0
C1C3,C2C3 in second determinant
(1+abc)∣ ∣ ∣1aa21bb21cc2∣ ∣ ∣=0
(1+abc)=0 by using (1)
