    If \[\omega \]is a complex cube root of unity, then the determinant \[\left| \,\begin{matrix}    2 & 2\omega  & -{{\omega }^{2}}  \\    1 & 1 & 1  \\    1 & -1 & 0  \\ \end{matrix}\, \right|=\]

    A) 0

    B) 1

    C) - 1

    D) None of these

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    \[\Delta \equiv \left| \,\begin{matrix}    2 & 2\omega  & -{{\omega }^{2}}  \\    1 & 1 & 1  \\    1 & -1 & 0  \\ \end{matrix}\, \right|=\left| \,\begin{matrix}    2+2\omega +2{{\omega }^{2}} & 2\omega  & -{{\omega }^{2}}  \\    1+1-2 & 1 & 1  \\    1-1-0 & -1 & 0  \\ \end{matrix}\, \right|\] \[({{C}_{1}}\to {{C}_{1}}+{{C}_{2}}-2{{C}_{3}})\]  = \[\left| \,\begin{matrix}    0 & 2\omega  & -{{\omega }^{2}}  \\    0 & 1 & 1  \\    0 & -1 & 0  \\ \end{matrix}\, \right|\,=\,0\].
