Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 0

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

R1 → R1 + R2: \( \left|\begin{array}{ccc}a+b+c & b+c+a & c+a+b \\ c & a & b \\ 1 & 1 & 1\end{array}\right| \) \( = (a+b+c) \left|\begin{array}{ccc}1 & 1 & 1 \\ c & a & b \\ 1 & 1 & 1\end{array}\right| \) Since R1 and R3 are identical, the determinant is \( 0 \).
