Question

Prove that

∣ ∣ ∣a2abacbab2bccacbc2∣ ∣ ∣=4a2b2c2

Open in App
Solution

LHS=∣ ∣ ∣a2abacbab2bccacbc2∣ ∣ ∣=abc∣ ∣abcabcabc∣ ∣
[taking out factors a from R1, b from R2 and c from R3]

=(abc) (abc)∣ ∣111111111∣ ∣ (taking out factors a from C1 b from C2 and c form C3)

Expanding corresponding to first row R1, we get
=a2b2c2[0211100211+20212]
=a2b2c2[00+2(0+2)]=4a2b2c2=RHS Hence proved.
