If p + q + r = 0 = a + b + c, Then the value of the determinant paqbrcqcrapbrbpcqa\left| \begin{matrix} pa & qb & rc \\ qc & ra & pb \\ rb & pc & qa \end{matrix} \right| is

A

0

B

pa + qb + rc

C

1

D

None of these

Answer

0

Explanation

Solution

∆ = pqr(a3 + b3 + c3) – abc (p3 + q3 + r3) p + q + r = a + b + c = 0 ⇒ p3 + q3 + r3 = 3pqr, a3 + b3 + c3 = 3abc

∆ = 3pqr abc – 3abc pqr = 0
