1. Find value of determinant using properties of determinants ...
`[[201,210,220],[151,155,140],[50,55,80]]`


Solution:
 `A=` 
 201  210  220 
 151  155  140 
 50  55  80 


Now, `R_1=R_1 - R_2`

 `=` 
 50  55  80 
 151  155  140 
 50  55  80 


Here `R_3=R_1`, So value of the determinant is 0

`=0`

Method-2: Determinant by expanding cofactors

`|A|` = 
 `201`  `210`  `220` 
 `151`  `155`  `140` 
 `50`  `55`  `80` 


 =
 `201` × 
 `155`  `140` 
 `55`  `80` 
 `-210` × 
 `151`  `140` 
 `50`  `80` 
 `+220` × 
 `151`  `155` 
 `50`  `55` 


`=201 xx (155 × 80 - 140 × 55) -210 xx (151 × 80 - 140 × 50) +220 xx (151 × 55 - 155 × 50)`

`=201 xx (12400 -7700) -210 xx (12080 -7000) +220 xx (8305 -7750)`

`=201 xx (4700) -210 xx (5080) +220 xx (555)`

`= 944700 -1066800 +122100`

`=0`


2. Find value of determinant using properties of determinants ...
`[[1977,1979,1981],[1940,1943,1946],[10,17,24]]`


Solution:
 `A=` 
 1977  1979  1981 
 1940  1943  1946 
 10  17  24 


Now, `C_2=C_2 - C_1` and `C_3=C_3 - C_2`

 `=` 
 1977  2  2 
 1940  3  3 
 10  7  7 


Here `C_2=C_3`, So value of the determinant is 0

`=0`

Method-2: Determinant by expanding cofactors

`|A|` = 
 `1977`  `1979`  `1981` 
 `1940`  `1943`  `1946` 
 `10`  `17`  `24` 


 =
 `1977` × 
 `1943`  `1946` 
 `17`  `24` 
 `-1979` × 
 `1940`  `1946` 
 `10`  `24` 
 `+1981` × 
 `1940`  `1943` 
 `10`  `17` 


`=1977 xx (1943 × 24 - 1946 × 17) -1979 xx (1940 × 24 - 1946 × 10) +1981 xx (1940 × 17 - 1943 × 10)`

`=1977 xx (46632 -33082) -1979 xx (46560 -19460) +1981 xx (32980 -19430)`

`=1977 xx (13550) -1979 xx (27100) +1981 xx (13550)`

`= 26788350 -53630900 +26842550`

`=0`
