Solution

=∣ ∣a1a2a3b1b2b3c1c2c3∣ ∣=(a1b2c3+a2b3c1+a3b1c2)x(a3b2c1+a2b1c3+a1b3c2)y
Now if x3 and y3
then can be maximum 6
But it is not possible
as x=3 each term of x=1
and y=3 each term of y=1
Π3i=1aibici=1 and Π3i=1aibici=1
which is contradiction
So now next possibility is 4
which is obtained as ∣ ∣111111111∣ ∣=1(1+11(11)+1(11)=4.
