(i)
A determinant is symmetric if it is identical to its transpose. Its i th row is identical to its i th
column i.e. aij = aji for all values of ' i ' and ' j '
(ii)
A determinant is skew-symmetric if it is identical to its transpose having sign of each element
inverted i.e. aij = aji for all values of ' i ' and ' j '. A skew-symmetric determinant has all elements
zero in its principal diagonal.
(iii)
A determinant is asymmetric if it is neither symmetric nor skew-symmetric.
Prop ert ies of D et erm ina nt s:
(i)
The value of a determinant remains unaltered, if the rows & columns are inter changed,
a1 b1 c 1
a1 a 2 a 3
i.e.
D = a 2 b 2 c 2 b1 b 2 b 3 = D
a3 b3 c 3
c1 c 2 c 3
(ii)
If any two rows (or columns) of a determinant be interchanged, the value of determinant
is changed in sign only. e.g.
a2 b2 c 2
a1 b1 c1
Let D = a 2 b 2 c 2 & D = a1 b1 c1
Then D = D.
a3 b3 c 3
a3 b3 c 3
NOTE : A skew-symmetric deteminant of odd order has value zero.

D = a1 b1 c1 = 0.
a3 b3 c 3
If all the elements of any row (or column) be multiplied by the same number, then the determinant
is multiplied by that number, i.e.
a1 b1 c1

D = a2 b2 c 2
and D = a 2 b 2 c 2
Then D= KD
a3 b3 c 3
a3 b3

If each element of any row (or column) can be expressed as a sum of two terms then the
determinant can be expressed as the sum of two determinants, i.e.

constant multiple of the corresponding elements of any other row (or column),

D=
Hence (a b) is a factor of determinant
bc ac ab
Similarly, let b = c, D = 0
c = a, D = 0
Hence, (a b) (b c) (c a) is factor of determinant. But the given determinant is of fifth
order so
a b c
a 2 b 2 c 2 = (a b) (b c) (c a) ( (a2 + b2 + c2) + (ab + bc + ca))

We have multiplied here rows by rows but we can also multiply rows by columns, columns by rows and
columns by columns.
If = |aij| is a detereminant of order n, then the value of the determinant |A ij | = n 1. This is also known
as power cofactor formula.

If = 3 then D1 = D2 = D3 = 0 for = 10
(i)
For unique solution D 0
i.e.
3
(ii)
For infinite solutions
D=0
=3
D1 = D2 = D3 = 0
= 10.
(iii)
For no solution
D=0
=3
Atleast one of D1, D2 or D3 is non zero
