Let \(a, b, c\) be such that \(b(a+c) \times 0\)
If \(\left|\begin{array}{ccc}a & a+1 & a-1 \\ -b & b+1 & b-1 \\ c & c-1 & c+1\end{array}\right|\)
\(+\left|\begin{array}{ccc}a+1 & b+1 & c-1 \\ a-1 & b-1 & c+1 \\ (-1)^{n+2} a & (-1)^{n+1} b & (-1)^{n} c\end{array}\right|=0\)
then the value of \(n\) is

  1. A any integer
  2. B zero
  3. C any even integer
  4. D any odd integer
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) any odd integer

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

We have, \(\left|\begin{array}{ccc}a & a+1 & a-1 \\ -b & b+1 & b-1 \\ c & c-1 & c+1\end{array}\right|\) + \(\left|\begin{array}{ccc}a+1 & b+1 & c-1 \\ a-1 & b-1 & c+1 \\ (-1)^{n+2} a & (-1)^{n+1} b & (-1)^{n} c\end{array}\right|=0\)…
