Please explain the folloeing property of determinan with a suitable example :

the value of the determinant remains same, if we apply the operationR i R i +kR j orC i C i +kC j . That is,

PLEASE HELP SOON.

THANK YOU

the right side determinant can be split into sum of two determinants .
a1+λa3a2a3b1+λb3b2b3c1+λc3c2c3=a1a2a3b1b2b3c1c2c3+λa3a2a3λb3b2b3λc3c2c3=a1a2a3b1b2b3c1c2c3+λ.a3a2a3b3b2b3c3c2c3  =a1a2a3b1b2b3c1c2c3+λ*0 [since 1st row and 3rd row is same in 2nd determinan, therefore it equals zero=a1a2a3b1b2b3c1c2c3=LHS

hope this helps you
