Question
Without expanding, show that the values of the following determinant are zero:
$\begin{vmatrix}49&1&6\\39&7&4\\26&2&3 \end{vmatrix}$

Answer

$\begin{vmatrix}49&1&6\\39&7&4\\26&2&3 \end{vmatrix}$
Applying: $C_1 \rightarrow C_1 + (-8)C_3$​​​​​​​
$=\begin{vmatrix}1&1&6\\7&7&4\\2&2&3 \end{vmatrix}=0$
$\because\text{C}_1=\text{C}_2$
