  • A
    $\text{abc(b - c)(c - a)(a - b)}$
  • B
    $\text{(b - c)(c - a)(a - b)}$
  • C
    $\text{(a + b + c)(b - c)(c - a)(a - b)}$
  • ✓
    None of these
✓

Answer

Correct option: D.
None of these
$\begin{vmatrix}\text{b}^2-\text{ab}&\text{b}-\text{c}&\text{bc}-\text{ac}\\\text{ab}-\text{a}^2&\text{a}-\text{b}&\text{b}^2-\text{ab}\\\text{bc}-\text{ac}&\text{c}-\text{a}&\text{ab}-\text{a}^2\end{vmatrix}$
$=\begin{vmatrix}\text{b}(\text{b}-\text{a})&\text{b}-\text{c}&\text{c}(\text{b}-\text{a})\\\text{a}(\text{b}-\text{a})&\text{a}-\text{b}&\text{b}(\text{b}-\text{a})\\\text{c}(\text{b}-\text{a})&\text{c}-\text{a}&\text{a}(\text{b}-\text{a})\end{vmatrix}$
$=(\text{b}-\text{a})^2\begin{vmatrix}\text{b}&\text{b}-\text{c}&\text{c}\\\text{a}&\text{a}-\text{b}&\text{b}\\\text{c}&\text{c}-\text{a}&\text{a}\end{vmatrix} [$Taking $(b - a)$ common from $C_1$ and $C_3]$
$=(\text{b}-\text{a})^2\begin{vmatrix}0&\text{b}-\text{c}&\text{c}\\0&\text{a}-\text{b}&\text{b}\\0&\text{c}-\text{a}&\text{a}\end{vmatrix} [$Applying $C_1\rightarrow C_1 - C_2 - C_3]$
$=0$
Hence, the correct option is $(d)$
