we have,

b2ab   b-c    bc-acaba2   a-b   b2abbcac   c-a    ab-a2=b(ba)   b-c    c(ba)a(ba)   a-b   b(ba)c(ba)   c-a    a(ba)

=(ba)2b   b-c    ca   a-b   bc   c-a    a

                                                         on taking (b-a) common C1 and C3 each

=(ba)2bc   b-c    cab   a-b   bca   c-a    a

                                                                 C1C1C3

=0

since two columns C1 and C2 are identical ,so the value of determinant is zero
