If $a, b, c$ are in $A.P.,$ then the determinant $\begin{vmatrix}\text{x}+2&\text{x}+3&\text{x}+2\text{a}\\\text{x}+3&\text{x}+4&\text{x}+2\text{b}\\\text{x}+4&\text{x}+5&\text{x}+2\text{c}\end{vmatrix}$
  • ✓
    $0$
  • B
    $1$
  • C
    $x$
  • D
    $2x$
✓

Answer

Correct option: A.
$0$
$\begin{vmatrix}\text{x}+2&\text{x}+3&\text{x}+2\text{a}\\\text{x}+3&\text{x}+4&\text{x}+2\text{b}\\\text{x}+4&\text{x}+5&\text{x}+2\text{c}\end{vmatrix}$
$=\begin{vmatrix}0&0&2(\text{a}+\text{c}-2\text{b})\\\text{x}+3&\text{x}+4&\text{x}+2\text{b}\\\text{x}+4&\text{x}+5&\text{x}+2\text{c}\end{vmatrix}$
$[$Applying $R_1 \rightarrow R_1 + R_3- R_2, R_1 \rightarrow R_1 - R_2]$
$=\begin{vmatrix}0&0&0\\\text{x}+3&\text{x}+4&\text{x}+2\text{b}\\\text{x}+4&\text{x}+5&\text{x}+2\text{c}\end{vmatrix} [\because a, b, c$ are in $A.P.]$
$=0$
