Let ∆ = 0 and ∆c denotes the determinant of cofactors, then ∆c = ∆n – 1, where n (> 0) is the order of ∆.
On the basis of above information, answer the following questions :
If a, b, c are the roots of the equation x3 – px2 + r = 0, then the value of
\[\left|\begin{array}{cccccc} b & -a^{2} & a & -b^{2} & b & -c^{2} \\ a & -b^{2} & b & -c^{2} & b & -a^{2} \\ b & -c^{2} & b & -a^{2} & a & -b^{2} \end{array}\right|\] is
