MCQ
Let $D_1 =$ $\left| {\,\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}a&b&{a + b}\\c&d&{c + d}\\a&b&{a - b}\end{array}\,} \right|$ and $D_2 =$ $\left| {\,\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}a&c&{a + c}\\b&d&{b + d}\\a&c&{a + b + c}\end{array}\,} \right|$ then the value of $\frac{{{D_1}}}{{{D_2}}}$ where $b \ne 0$ and $ad \ne bc$, is
  • $-2$
  • B
    $0$
  • C
    $- 2b$
  • D
    $2b$

Answer

Correct option: A.
$-2$
a
Using $\rightarrow C_3 \rightarrow C_3 - (C_1 + C_2),$ $D_1 =$ $\left|{\,\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}a&b&{a + b}\\c&d&{c + d}\\a&b&{a - b}\end{array}\,} \right|$ and $D_2 = $ $\left| {\,\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}a&c&{a + c}\\b&d&{b + d}\\ a&c&{a + b + c}\end{array}\,} \right|$

$\therefore$ $\frac{{{D_1}}}{{{D_2}}}$ $=$ $\frac{{ - 2b(ad - bc)}}{{b(ad - bc)}}$ $=$ $- 2$
