Let p and p + 2 be prime numbers and let Δ = | cases p ! & (p + 1)...

Let pp and p+2p + 2 be prime numbers and let
\Delta = \left|\begin{cases}p ! & \left(p + 1\right) ! & \left(p + 2\right) ! \\ \left(p + 1\right) ! & \left(p + 2\right) ! & \left(p + 3\right) ! \\ \left(p + 2\right) ! & \left(p + 3\right) ! & \left(p + 4\right) !\end{cases}\right|
Then the sum of the maximum values of α\alpha and β\beta, such that pα{p}^{\alpha} and (p+2)β{\left(p + 2\right)}^{\beta} divide Δ\Delta, is _______.

Correct answer

0

Step-by-step solution

Given,

\Delta = \left|\begin{cases}P ! & \left(P + 1\right) ! & \left(P + 2\right) ! \\ \left(P + 1\right) ! & \left(P + 2\right) ! & \left(P + 3\right) ! \\ \left(P + 2\right) ! & \left(P + 3\right) ! & \left(P + 4\right) !\end{cases}\right|

Now using the factorial concept and taking common terms we get,

⇒ \Delta = P ! \left(P + 1\right) ! \left(P + 2\right) ! \left|\begin{cases}1 & 1 & 1 \\ P + 1 & P + 2 & P + 3 \\ \left(P + 2\right)\left(P + 1\right) & \left(P + 3\right)\left(P + 2\right) & \left(P + 4\right)\left(P + 3\right)\end{cases}\right|

Now on solving determinant we get, \left|{111P+1P+2P+3(P+2)(P+1)(P+3)(P+2)(P+4)(P+3)\begin{cases}1 & 1 & 1 \\ P + 1 & P + 2 & P + 3 \\ \left(P + 2\right)\left(P + 1\right) & \left(P + 3\right)\left(P + 2\right) & \left(P + 4\right)\left(P + 3\right)\end{cases}\right|</p><p>Usingoperation</p><p>Using operation{C}_{1} \to {C}_{1} - {C}_{2} \text{ and } {C}_{2} \to {C}_{2} - {C}_{3}</p><p>\left|\begin{cases}0 & 0 & 1 \\ - 1 & - 1 & P + 3 \\ - 2P - 4 & - 2P - 6 & \left(P + 4\right)\left(P + 3\right)\end{cases}\right|

=2P+6−(2P+4)=2= 2P + 6 - \left(2P + 4\right) = 2

Now putting the value of determinant we get,

⇒Δ=2P!(P+1)!(P+2)!⇒ \Delta = 2P ! \left(P + 1\right) ! \left(P + 2\right) !

⇒Δ=2P3(P−1)!(P+1)(P−1)!(P+2)(P+1)(P−1)!⇒ \Delta = 2{P}^{3}\left(P - 1\right) ! \left(P + 1\right)\left(P - 1\right) ! \left(P + 2\right)\left(P + 1\right)\left(P - 1\right) !

Which is divisible by Pα{P}^{\alpha} and (P+2)β{\left(P + 2\right)}^{\beta}

So, α=3,β=1\alpha = 3, \beta = 1
