Question 4 Using the property of determinants and without expanding, prove that: |■8(1&𝑏𝑐&𝑎(𝑏+𝑐)@1&𝑐𝑎&𝑏(𝑐+𝑎)@1&𝑎𝑏&𝑐(𝑎+𝑏))| = 0 |■8(1&𝑏𝑐&𝑎(𝑏+𝑐)@1&𝑐𝑎&𝑏(𝑐+𝑎)@1&𝑎𝑏&𝑐(𝑎+𝑏))| = |■8(1&𝑏𝑐&𝑎𝑏+𝑎𝑐@1&𝑐𝑎&𝑏𝑐+𝑏𝑎@1&𝑎𝑏&𝑐𝑎+𝑐𝑏)| C3 → C3 + C2 = |■8(1&𝑏𝑐&𝑎𝑏+𝑎𝑐+𝑏𝑐@1&𝑐𝑎&𝑏𝑐+𝑏𝑎+𝑏𝑐@1&𝑎𝑏&𝑐𝑎+𝑐𝑏+𝑏𝑐)| Taking (𝑎𝑏+𝑎𝑐+𝑏𝑐) common from C3 = (𝑎𝑏+𝑎𝑐+𝑏𝑐) |■8(𝟏&𝑏𝑐&𝟏@𝟏&𝑐𝑎&𝟏@𝟏&𝑎𝑏&𝟏)| C1 and C3 is same = 0 By Property: if any two row or columns of a determinant are identical then value of determinant is zero
