Question 16 Check whether (l + m + n) is a factor of the determinant |(l + m) (m + n) (n + l) n l m 2 2 2| or not. Give Reason | (l + m n 2 m + n l 2 n + l m 2 )| Applying 𝑅1→ 𝑅 1 + 𝑅2 | (l + m + n n 2 m + n + l l 2 n + l + m m 2 )| Taking (𝑙+𝑚+𝑛) common from 𝑅_1 (l + m + n) | 1 n 2 1 l 2 1 m 2 ] Since (𝑙+𝑚+𝑛) is multiplied outside, it means that is a factor of the determinant
