If $x,y,z$ are in AP, then the value of the det $A$ is, where $A = \left| {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} 4&5&6&x\\ 5&6&7&y\\ 6&7&8&z\\ x&y&z&0 \end{array}} \right|$

x,y,z

are in AP, then the value of the det

A

is, where

A = \left| {\begin{array}{cccccccccccccccccccc} 4&5&6&x\\ 5&6&7&y\\ 6&7&8&z\\ x&y&z&0 \end{array}} \right|

View answer and explanation

Correct option: A

Option A (0) is correct because since

x, y, z

are in AP,

2y = x + z

. Applying row operations makes the second row zero, resulting in a zero determinant.
