a
0
b
a+b+c
c
ab+bc+ca
d
none of these

detailed solution

Correct option is A

Let ∆be the area of the triangle with vertices at  (a, b + c), (b, c + a) and (c, a+ b), Then,∆= absolute value of 12a    b+c    1b    c+a    1c    a+b    1⇒∆= Absolute value of f12a    a+b+c    1b    b+c+a    1c    c+a+b    1 Applying C2→C2+C1⇒∆= Absolute value of 12(a+b+c)a    1    1b    1    1c    1    1                                                                       [Taking a+b+c common from C2 ] ⇒ Δ=0
