If \(f(x)=\left|\begin{array}{ccc}x^{3}-x & a+x & b+x \\ x-a & x^{2}-x & c+x \\ x-b & x-c & 0\end{array}\right|\), then

  1. A \(f(\mathrm{l})=0\)
  2. B \(f(2)=0\)
  3. C \(f(0)=0\)
  4. D \(f(-1)=0\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(f(0)=0\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

We have,
\(\begin{aligned}
f(x) &=\left|\begin{array}{ccc}
x^{3}-x & a+x & b+x \\
x-a & x^{2}-x & c+x \\
x-b & x-c & 0
\end{array}\right| \\
f(0) &=\left|\begin{array}{ccc}
0 & a & b \\
-a & 0 & c \\
-b & -c & 0
\end{array}\right| \\
f(0)=0 &
\end{aligned}\)
\(f(0)\) is skew symmetric matrix of order \(3 .\)
