MCQ
If $\text{A}+\text{B}+\text{C}=\pi,$ then the value of $\begin{vmatrix}\sin(\text{A}+\text{B}+\text{C})&\sin(\text{A}+\text{C})&\cos\text{C}\\-\sin\text{B}&0&\tan\text{A}\\\cos(\text{A}+\text{B})&\tan(\text{B}+\text{C})&0\end{vmatrix}$ is equal to:
  • ✓
    0
  • B
    1
  • C
    $2\sin\text{B}\tan\text{A}\cos\text{C}$
  • D
    None of these.
✓

Answer

Correct option: A.
0
$\text{A}+\text{B}+\text{C}=\pi$
$\text{A}+\text{C}=\pi-\text{B},\text{A}+\text{B}=\pi-\text{C}$ and $\text{B}+\text{C}=\pi-\text{A}$

Thus the determinant becomes

$\begin{vmatrix}\sin\pi&\sin(\pi-\text{B})&\cos\text{C}\\-\sin\text{B}&0&\tan\text{A}\\\cos(\pi-\text{C})&\tan(\pi-\text{A})&0\end{vmatrix}$

$=\begin{vmatrix}0&\sin\text{B}&\cos\text{C}\\-\sin\text{B}&0&\tan\text{A}\\-\cos\text{C}&-\tan\text{A}&0\end{vmatrix}$

$[\sin\pi=0,\sin(\pi-\text{B}),\cos(\pi-\text{C})=-\cos\text{C},\tan(\pi-\text{A})=-\tan\text{A}]$

It is a skew symmetric matrix of the odd order 3. Thus by property of determinants, we get

$|\triangle|=0$

$\begin{vmatrix}0&\sin\text{B}&\cos\text{C}\\-\sin\text{B}&0&\tan\text{A}\\-\cos\text{C}&-\tan\text{A}&0\end{vmatrix}$
