Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\left(1+a^{2}+b^{2}\right)^{3}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let \(\Delta=\left|\begin{array}{ccc}1+a^{2}-b^{2} & 2 a b & -2 b \\ 2 a b & 1-a^{2}+b^{2} & 2 a \\ 2 b & -2 a & 1-a^{2}-b^{2}\end{array}\right|\) Apply \(\mathrm{C}_{\mathrm{1}} \rightarrow \mathrm{C}_{1}-\mathrm{bC}_{3}\) and…
