Question
$\triangle=\begin{vmatrix}\cos\alpha\cos\beta&\cos\alpha\sin\beta&-\sin\alpha\\-\sin\beta&\cos\beta&0\\\sin\alpha\cos\beta&\sin\alpha\sin\beta&\cos\alpha \end{vmatrix}$

Answer

Given,
$\triangle=\begin{vmatrix}\cos\alpha\cos\beta&\cos\alpha\sin\beta&-\sin\alpha\\-\sin\beta&\cos\beta&0\\\sin\alpha\cos\beta&\sin\alpha\sin\beta&\cos\alpha \end{vmatrix}$
$\Rightarrow\triangle=(-1)^{1+1}\cos\alpha\cos\beta(\cos\alpha\cos\beta-0)\\+(-1)^{1+2}\cos\alpha\sin\beta(-\sin\beta\cos\alpha-0)\\+(-1)^{1+3}(-\sin\alpha)(-\sin^2\beta\sin\alpha-\sin\alpha\cos^2\beta) [$Expanding along $R_1]$
$=\cos\alpha\cos\beta(\cos\alpha\cos\beta-0)-\cos\alpha\sin\beta(-\sin\beta\cos\alpha-0)\\-\sin\alpha(\sin^2\beta\sin\alpha-\sin\alpha-\sin\alpha\cos^2\beta)$
$=\cos^2\alpha\cos^2\beta+\cos^2\alpha\sin^2\beta+\sin^2\alpha\sin^2\beta+\sin^2\alpha\cos^2\beta$
$=\cos^2\alpha(\cos^2\beta+\sin^\beta)+\sin^2\alpha(\sin^2\beta+\cos^2\beta)$
$\Rightarrow\triangle=\cos^2\alpha+\sin^2\alpha$ $\big[\because\sin^2\theta+\cos^2\theta=1\big]$
$\Rightarrow\triangle=1$
