    The value of determinant \[\left| \begin{matrix}    ^{n}{{C}_{r-1}} & ^{n}{{C}_{r}} & (r+1){{\times }^{n+2}}{{C}_{r+1}}  \\    ^{n}{{C}_{r}} & ^{n}{{C}_{r+1}} & (r+2){{\times }^{n+2}}{{C}_{r+2}}  \\    ^{n}{{C}_{r+1}} & ^{n}{{C}_{r+2}} & (r+3){{\times }^{n+2}}{{C}_{r+3}}  \\ \end{matrix} \right|\]is

    A) \[{{n}^{2}}+n-1\]           

    B)        \[0\]                   

    C) \[^{n+3}{{C}_{r+3}}\]             

    D)        \[^{n}{{C}_{r-1}}{{+}^{n}}{{C}_{r}}{{+}^{n}}{{C}_{r+1}}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    [b] \[\Delta =\left| \begin{matrix}    ^{n}{{C}_{r-1}} & ^{n}{{C}_{r}} & (r+1){{\times }^{n+2}}{{C}_{r+1}}  \\    ^{n}{{C}_{r}} & ^{n}{{C}_{r+1}} & (n+2){{\times }^{n+2}}{{C}_{r+2}}  \\    ^{n}{{C}_{r+1}} & ^{n}{{C}_{r+2}} & (r+3){{\times }^{n+2}}{{C}_{r+3}}  \\ \end{matrix} \right|\] Applying \[{{C}_{1}}\to {{C}_{1}}+{{C}_{2}}\] and using \[^{n}{{C}_{r}}=\frac{n}{r}{{\,}^{n-1}}{{C}_{r-1}}\]in \[{{C}_{3}},\] we get \[\Delta =\left| \begin{matrix}    ^{n+1}{{C}_{r}} & ^{n}{{C}_{r}} & (n+2)\times {{\,}^{n-1}}{{C}_{r}}  \\    ^{n+1}{{C}_{r+1}} & ^{n}{{C}_{r+1}} & (n+2)\times {{\,}^{n+1}}{{C}_{r+1}}  \\    ^{n+1}{{C}_{r+2}} & ^{n}{{C}_{r+2}} & (n+2)\times {{\,}^{n+1}}{{C}_{r+2}}  \\ \end{matrix} \right|\] \[=(n+2)\,\,\left| \begin{matrix}    ^{n+1}{{C}_{r}} & ^{n}{{C}_{r}} & ^{n+1}{{C}_{r}}  \\    ^{n+1}{{C}_{r+1}} & ^{n}{{C}_{r+1}} & ^{n+1}{{C}_{r+1}}  \\    ^{n+1}{{C}_{r+2}} & ^{n}{{C}_{r+2}} & ^{n+1}{{C}_{r+2}}  \\ \end{matrix} \right|\] \[=0\]           (As \[{{C}_{1}}\] and \[{{C}_{3}}\] are identical)
