    Hint: First we solve $\Delta$ and after we solve for $\Delta _{1}$
    We will try to make some elements of the determinant zero
    Given:$\Delta=\left|\begin{array}{lll} 1 & x & x^{2} \\ 1 & y & y^{2} \\ 1 & z & z^{2} \end{array}\right| \quad, \quad \Delta_{1}=\left|\begin{array}{ccc} 1 & 1 & 1 \\ y z & z x & x y \\ x & y & z \end{array}\right|$
    Solution:Let us solve for $\Delta=\left|\begin{array}{lll} 1 & x & x^{2} \\ 1 & y & y^{2} \\ 1 & z & z^{2} \end{array}\right|$
    $\Delta=\left|\begin{array}{lll} 1 & x & x^{2} \\ 1 & y & y^{2} \\ 1 & z & z^{2} \end{array}\right|$
    $\begin{aligned} &\text { On applying } R_{1} \rightarrow R_{1}-R_{2} \text { and } R_{2} \rightarrow R_{2}-R_{3}\\ &\Delta=\left|\begin{array}{ccc} 0 & x-y & x^{2}-y^{2} \\ 0 & y-z & y^{2}-z^{2} \\ 1 & z & z^{2} \end{array}\right|\\ &\Delta=\left|\begin{array}{ccc} 0 & x-y & (x+y)(x-y) \\ 0 & y-z & (y+z)(y-z) \\ 1 & z & z^{2} \end{array}\right| \quad \mathrm{a}^{2}-b^{2}=(a+b)(a-b) \end{aligned}$
    $\begin{aligned} &\text { On taking common }(x-y) \text { from } \mathrm{R}_{1} \text { and }(y-z) \text { from } \mathrm{R}_{2}\\ &\Delta=(x-y)(y-z)\left|\begin{array}{ccc} 0 & 1 & (x+y) \\ 0 & 1 & (y+z) \\ 1 & z & z^{2} \end{array}\right| \end{aligned}$
    $\Delta=(x-y)(y-z)\left|\begin{array}{ccc} 0 & 0 & 1 \\ 1 & 1 & z \\ (x+y) & (y+z) & z^{2} \end{array}\right|$
    If we convert all columns into rows
    then the value of determinant does not change
    $\Delta=(x-y)(y-z)\left|\begin{array}{ccc} 0 & 0 & 1 \\ 1 & 1 & z \\ (x+y) & (y+z) & z^{2} \end{array}\right|$
    $\begin{aligned} &\text { On expanding w.r.t } \mathrm{R}_{1}\\ &\Delta=(x-y)(y-z)\left[0\left|\begin{array}{cc} 1 & z \\ y+z & z^{2} \end{array}\right|-0\left|\begin{array}{cc} 1 & z \\ x+y & z^{2} \end{array}\right|+1\left|\begin{array}{cc} 1 & 1 \\ x+y & y+z \end{array}\right|\right]\\ &\Delta=(x-y)(y-z)[0-0+1\{1(y+z)-1(x+y)\}]\\ &\Delta=(x-y)(y-z)(y+z-x-y)\\ &\Delta=(x-y)(y-z)(z-x) \quad \ldots \ldots \ldots(1) \end{aligned}$
    Now Lets us Solve for $\Delta_{1}=\left|\begin{array}{ccc} 1 & 1 & 1 \\ y z & z x & x y \\ x & y & z \end{array}\right|$
    $\Delta_{1}=\left|\begin{array}{ccc} 1 & 1 & 1 \\ y z & z x & x y \\ x & y & z \end{array}\right|$
    $\begin{aligned} &\text { On applying } \mathrm{C}_{1} \rightarrow C_{1}-C_{2} \text { and } \mathrm{C}_{2} \rightarrow C_{2}-C_{3}\\ &\Delta_{1}=\left|\begin{array}{ccc} 0 & 0 & 1 \\ y z-z x & z x-x y & x y \\ x-y & y-z & z \end{array}\right|\\ &\Delta_{1}=\left|\begin{array}{ccc} 0 & 0 & 1 \\ -z(x-y) & -x(y-z) & x y \\ x-y & y-z & z \end{array}\right| \end{aligned}$
    $\begin{aligned} &\text { On taking common }(x-y) \text { from } \mathrm{C}_{1} \text { and }(y-z) \text { from } \mathrm{C}_{2}\\ &\Delta_{1}=(x-y)(y-z)\left|\begin{array}{ccc} 0 & 0 & 1 \\ -z & -x & x y \\ 1 & 1 & z \end{array}\right| \end{aligned}$
    On expanding w.r.t $R_{1}$
    $\begin{aligned} &\Delta_{1}=(x-y)(y-z)\left[0\left|\begin{array}{cc} -x & x y \\ 1 & z \end{array}\right|-0\left|\begin{array}{cc} -z & x y \\ 1 & z \end{array}\right|+1 \mid \begin{array}{cc} -z & -x \\ 1 & 1 \end{array}\right] \\ &\Delta_{1}=(x-y)(y-z)[0-0+1\{(-z)(1)-(-x)(1)\}] \\ &\Delta_{1}=(x-y)(y-z)(-z+x) \\ &\Delta_{1}=-(x-y)(y-z)(z-x) \end{aligned}$
    Now L.H.S
    $\Delta+\Delta_{1}=(x-y)(y-z)(z-x)+\{-(x-y)(y-z)(z-x)\}$
    From equation (1) and (2)
    $\begin{aligned} &\Delta+\Delta_{1}=0 \\ &=R \cdot H \cdot S \end{aligned}$
    Hence it is proved that $\Delta+\Delta_{1}=0$

    Hint We will make column (3) of L.H.S abc
    Given:$\left|\begin{array}{lll} 1 & a & b c \\ 1 & b & c a \\ 1 & c & a b \end{array}\right|=\left|\begin{array}{lll} 1 & a & a^{2} \\ 1 & b & b^{2} \\ 1 & c & c^{2} \end{array}\right|$
    Solution:
    $\text { L.H.S }\left|\begin{array}{lll} 1 & a & b c \\ 1 & b & c a \\ 1 & c & a b \end{array}\right|$
    $\text { On multiplying by 'a' in } R_{1}=\text { by } b \text { ' in } R_{2} \text { and by 'c' in } R_{m}$
    $\begin{aligned} &=\frac{1}{a b c}\left|\begin{array}{lll} a & a^{2} & a b c \\ b & b^{2} & a b c \\ c & c^{2} & a b c \end{array}\right|\\ &\text { Taking common }(a b c) \text { from } \mathrm{C}_{3}\\ &=\frac{a b c}{a b c}\left|\begin{array}{lll} a & a^{2} & 1 \\ b & b^{2} & 1 \\ c & c^{2} & 1 \end{array}\right|\\ &=\left|\begin{array}{lll} a & a^{2} & 1 \\ b & b^{2} & 1 \\ c & c^{2} & 1 \end{array}\right| \end{aligned}$
    If any two rows or columns of a determinant are interchanged, then sign of the determinant is changed.

    $\begin{aligned} &\text { Apply } \mathrm{C}_{1} \rightarrow C_{1}+C_{2}+C_{3} \\ &\mid \frac{a}{x}+\frac{b}{y}+\frac{c}{z}-2 & \frac{b}{y}-1 & \frac{c}{z}-1 \\ &\frac{a}{x}+\frac{b}{y}+\frac{c}{z}-2 & \frac{b}{y} & \frac{c}{z}-1 \\ &\frac{a}{x}+\frac{b}{y}+\frac{c}{z}-2 & \frac{b}{y}-1 & \frac{c}{z} \end{aligned} \mid=0$
    $\left(\frac{a}{x}+\frac{b}{y}+\frac{c}{z}-2\right)\left|\begin{array}{ccc} 1 & \frac{b}{y}-1 & \frac{c}{z}-1 \\ 1 & \frac{b}{y} & \frac{c}{z}-1 \\ 1 & \frac{b}{y}-1 & \frac{c}{z} \end{array}\right|=0$
    $\begin{aligned} &\text { Apply } \mathrm{R}_{2} \rightarrow R_{2}-R_{1} \& R_{3} \rightarrow R_{3}-R_{1} \\ &\left(\frac{a}{x}+\frac{b}{y}+\frac{c}{z}-2\right)\left|\begin{array}{ccc} 1 & \frac{b}{y}-1 & \frac{c}{z}-1 \\ 0 & 1 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 1 \end{array}\right|=0 \end{aligned}$
    $\left(\frac{a}{x}+\frac{b}{y}+\frac{c}{z}-2\right) \cdot 1=0 \text { or } \frac{a}{x}+\frac{b}{y}+\frac{c}{z}=2$

    determinants Exercise 5.2 Question 55

    Answer: $9(3 x y z+x y+y z+z x)$
    Hint: Use determinant formula
    Given: $\left|\begin{array}{ccc} 1 & 1 & 1+3 x \\ 1+3 y & 1 & 1 \\ 1 & 1+3 z & 1 \end{array}\right|=9(3 x y z+x y+y z+z x)$
    Solution:
    $\begin{aligned} &\text { L.H.S }\left|\begin{array}{ccc} 1 & 1 & 1+3 x \\ 1+3 y & 1 & 1 \\ 1 & 1+3 z & 1 \end{array}\right| \\ &\text { Apply } \mathrm{R}_{1} \rightarrow R_{1}-R_{3} \& R_{2} \rightarrow R_{2}-R_{3} \\ &\left|\begin{array}{ccc} 0 & -3 z & 3 x \\ 3 y & -3 z & 0 \\ 1 & 1+3 z & 1 \end{array}\right| \end{aligned}$
    $\begin{aligned} &3 \text { common from } \mathrm{R}_{1} \& R_{2}\\ &3 \times 3\left|\begin{array}{ccc} 0 & -z & x \\ y & -z & 0 \\ 1 & 1+3 z & 1 \end{array}\right| \end{aligned}$
    $\begin{aligned} &\text { Expand from } \mathrm{R}_{1}\\ &9[z(y)+x(y+3 z y+z)\\ &9(3 x y z+x y+y z+z x) \end{aligned}$
