is an arithmetic sequence, then

\Delta \; = \left| {\begin{array}{cccccccccccccccccccc} {{a_m}}&{{a_n}}&{{a_p}}\\ m&n&p\\ 1&1&1 \end{array}} \right|

equals

View answer and explanation

Correct option: C

Option C (0) is correct because the determinant is zero when the first row is a linear combination of the other rows, which is the case for an arithmetic sequence.
