Question
$\begin{vmatrix}\text{a}+\text{b}+\text{c}&-\text{c}&-\text{b}\\-\text{c}&\text{a}+\text{b}+\text{c}&-\text{a}\\-\text{b}&-\text{a}&\text{a}+\text{b}+\text{c}\end{vmatrix}$
$=2(\text{a}+\text{b})(\text{b}+\text{c})(\text{c}+\text{a})$

Answer

$\text{L.H.S}=\begin{vmatrix}\text{a}+\text{b}+\text{c}&-\text{c}&-\text{b}\\-\text{c}&\text{a}+\text{b}+\text{c}&-\text{a}\\-\text{b}&-\text{a}&\text{a}+\text{b}+\text{c}\end{vmatrix}$
$=\begin{vmatrix}\text{a}&-\text{c}&-\text{b}\\\text{b}&\text{a}+\text{b}+\text{c}&-\text{a}\\\text{c}&-\text{a}&\text{a}+\text{b}+\text{c}\end{vmatrix}$ [Applying $C_1 \rightarrow C_1 + C_2 + C_3]$
$=\begin{vmatrix}\text{a}+\text{b}&\text{a}+\text{b}&-(\text{a}+\text{b})\\\text{b}+\text{c}&\text{b}+\text{c}&\text{b}+\text{c}\\\text{c}&-\text{a}&\text{a}+\text{b}+\text{c}\end{vmatrix}$ [Applying $R_1 \rightarrow R_1 + R_2$and $R_2 \rightarrow R_2 + R_3]$
$=(\text{a}+\text{b})(\text{b}+\text{c})\begin{vmatrix}1&1&-1\\1&1&1\\\text{c}&-\text{a}&\text{a}+\text{b}+\text{c}\end{vmatrix}$
[Taking out common factor from $R_1$ and $R_2]$
$=(\text{a}+\text{b})(\text{b}+\text{c})\begin{vmatrix}0&0&-2\\1&1&1\\\text{c}&-\text{a}&\text{a}+\text{b}+\text{c}\end{vmatrix}$ [Applying $R_1 \rightarrow R_1- R_2]$
$=(\text{a}+\text{b})(\text{b}+\text{c})\{(-2)(-\text{a}-\text{c})\}$ [Expanding along $R_1]$
$=2(\text{a}+\text{b})(\text{b}+\text{c})(\text{c}+\text{a})$
$=\text{R.H.S}$
Hence proved.
