C3→ C2 + C3 (i.e. replace 3rd column by addition of 2nd and 3rd column)
Taking ab + bc + ac outside determinant
C1→ C1 - C3 (i.e. replace 1st column by subtraction of 1st and 3rd column)
If any one of the rows or columns of a determinant is 0 then the value of that determinant is 0.
∴ LHS = 0 = RHS
∴
