` " if " |{:(b+c,,c+a,,a+b),(a+b,,b+c,,c+a),(c+a,,a+b,,b+c):}|=k |{:(a,,b,,c),(c,,a,,b),(b,,c,,a):}|` then the value of k is

Options

A. 1
B. 2
C. 3
D. 4

Answer

B

Explanation

we have
`|{:(b+c,,c+a,,a+b),(a+b,,b+c,,c+a),(c+a,,a+b,,b+c):}|=k |{:(a,,b,,c),(c,,a,,b),(b,,c,,a):}|`
`" or " |{:(2(a+b+c),,c+a,,a+b),(2(a+b+c),,b+c,,c+a),(2(a+b+c),,a+b,,b+c):}|=k |{:(a,,b,,c),(c,,a,,b),(b,,c,,a):}|`
