Solution
The correct option is B(x−b−c)(x−bω−cω2)(x−bω2−cω) ω is a cube root of unity. Δ=∣∣
∣∣−xbcbc−xc−xb∣∣
∣∣ Applying R1→R1+R2+R3 and expanding gives Δ=(x−b−c)[(x+b)(x+c)+(b−c)2] (x−bω−cω2)(x−bω2−cω)=x2−bx(ω+ω2)−cx(ω+ω2)+bc(ω+ω2)+b2ω3+c2ω3=(x+b)(x+c)+(b−c)2...(∵1+ω+ω2=0andω3=1) ∴Δ=(x−b−c)(x−bω−cω2)(x−bω2−cω)
