Question
Without expanding, show that the values of the following determinant are zero: $\begin{vmatrix}1&43&6\\7&35&4\\3&17&2\end{vmatrix}$

Answer

$\triangle=\begin{vmatrix}1&43&6\\7&35&4\\3&17&2\end{vmatrix}$
$=\begin{vmatrix}1&1&6\\7&7&4\\3&3&2\end{vmatrix}=0 [$Appliying $C_2 \rightarrow C_2 - 7C_3]$
