Given,
Co-factor of elements of third column

∴ Δ = a13A13 + a23A23 + a33A33
= yz (z-y) + zx [- (z-x)] + xy (y-x)
= y z2-y2z-z2x+ zx2 + xy2-x2y.
= yz2-y2z+ (xy2-xz2) + (zx2-x2y)
= yz (z-y) + x (y2 – z2) -x2 (y-z)
= -yz (y-z) + x (y + z) (y-z) -x2 (y-z)
= (y-z) [-yz + x (y + z) -x2]
= (y-z) [-yz + xy + xz-x2]
= (y-z) [-y (z-x) + x (z-x)]
= (y-z) (z-x) (x -y)

Given,
Co-factors of elements of second row,

? ? = a21A21 + a22A22 + a23A23
= 2 * 7 + 0 * 7 + 1 * (-7) = 14 + 0 - 7 = 7.

(i) We know that,
Minor of element aij is mij and its co-factor is Aij = (–1)i+j Mij
So,
M11 = 3 and A11 = (- 1)1 + 1 M11 = 1 * 3 = 3
M12 = 0 and A12 = (-1)1+2 M12 = -1 * 0 = 0
M21 = -4 and A21 = (-1)2+1 M21 = (-1) * (-4) = 4
M22 = 2 and A22 = (-1)2+2 M22 = 1 * 2 = 2
(ii) Given A =
So,
M11 = d and A11 = (-1)1+1 M11 = 1 * d = d
M12 = b and A12 = (-1)1+2 M12 = (-1) * b = -b
M21 = c and A21 = (-1)2+ 1 M21 = (–1) * c = –c
M22 = a and A22 = (-1)2+2 M22 = 1 * a = a
