If ∆ = \[\left|\begin{array}{lll} 1 & \mathrm{a} & \mathrm{~b} \\ 1 & \mathrm{~b} & \mathrm{a} \\ 1 & \mathrm{c} & \mathrm{~b} \end{array}\right|\]= \[\left|\begin{array}{lll} 1 & \mathrm{a} & \mathrm{a}^{2} \\ 1 & \mathrm{~b} & \mathrm{~b}^{2} \\ 1 & \mathrm{c} & \mathrm{c}^{2} \end{array}\right|\]. then
  1. = (a – b) (b – c) (c – a)
  2. a, b, c are in G.P.
  3. b, c, a are in G.P.
  4. a, c, b are in G.P.

Answer

(A) ∆ = (a – b) (b – c) (c – a)
