If \(a , b , c\) are the lengths of the sides of a triangle and \(\left|\begin{array}{ccc}a^2 & b^2 & c^2 \\ (a+1)^2 & (b+1)^2 & (c+1)^2 \\ (a-1)^2 & (b-1)^2 & (c-1)^2\end{array}\right|=0\) then :

  1. A \(\triangle A B C\) is equilateral triangle
  2. B \(\triangle A B C\) is isosceles triangle
  3. C \(\triangle A B C\) is right angled triangle
  4. D \(\triangle A B C\) is right angled isosceles triangle
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\triangle A B C\) is isosceles triangle

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\left|\begin{array}{ccc}a^2 & b^2 & c^2 \\ (a+1)^2 & (b+1)^2 & (c+1)^2 \\ (a-1)^2 & (b-1)^2 & (c-1)^2\end{array}\right|=0\) \(R_2 \to R_2 - R_1, R_3 \to R_3 - R_1\) \(\left|\begin{array}{ccc}a^2 & b^2 & c^2 \\ 2a+1 & 2b+1 & 2c+1 \\ -2a+1 & -2b+1 & -2c+1\end{array}\right|=0\)…
