    If \[x\ne 2,\,y\ne 2,\,z\ne 2\]and\[\left| \begin{matrix}    2 & y & z  \\    x & 2 & z  \\    x & y & 2  \\ \end{matrix} \right|=0,\]then the value of \[\frac{2}{2-x}+\frac{y}{2-y}+\frac{z}{2-z}=\]

    A)  1                                            

    B)  0

    C)  3                                            

    D)  4

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

     \[0=\left| \begin{matrix}    2 & y & z  \\    x & 2 & z  \\    x & y & 2  \\ \end{matrix} \right|=\left| \begin{matrix}    2 & y & z  \\    x-2 & 2-y & 0  \\    x-2 & 0 & 2-z  \\ \end{matrix} \right|\] \[=(x-2)(2-y)(2-z)\left| \begin{matrix}    \frac{2}{x-2} & \frac{y}{2-y} & \frac{z}{2-z}  \\    1 & 1 & 0  \\    1 & 0 & 1  \\ \end{matrix} \right|\] \[\Rightarrow \]\[0=\frac{2}{x-2}-\frac{y}{2-y}-\frac{z}{2-z}\] \[\Rightarrow \]\[\frac{2}{2-x}+\frac{y}{2-y}+\frac{z}{2-z}=0\]
