Key Concepts and Formulas:

This problem hinges on the strategic application of determinant properties, particularly:

1. Determinant of a Matrix: The determinant of a $3 \times 3$ matrix $\left|\begin{array}{lll}a_{11} & a_{12} & a_{13} \\ a_{21} & a_{22} & a_{23} \\ a_{31} & a_{32} & a_{33}\end{array}\right|$ can be expanded as $a_{11}(a_{22}a_{33} - a_{23}a_{32}) - a_{12}(a_{21}a_{33} - a_{23}a_{31}) + a_{13}(a_{21}a_{32} - a_{22}a_{31})$.
2. Row/Column Operations: Multiplying all elements of a row or column by a scalar $k$ multiplies the determinant by $k$. Conversely, a common factor from any single row or column can be taken out of the determinant.
3. Algebraic Manipulation: Transforming expressions like $\frac{\alpha}{a}$ into terms involving $\frac{a}{\alpha-a}$ using identities like $\frac{X}{X-1} = 1 + \frac{1}{X-1}$ or $X = 1 + \frac{1}{X-1}$ (if $X = \frac{\alpha}{a}$ and $X-1 = \frac{\alpha-a}{a}$). More directly, $\frac{\alpha}{a} = \frac{\alpha-a+a}{a} = \frac{\alpha-a}{a} + 1$.

Step-by-step Derivation:

We are given the determinant equation: $\left|\begin{array}{lll}\alpha & \mathrm{b} & \mathrm{c} \\ \mathrm{a} & \beta & \mathrm{c} \\ \mathrm{a} & \mathrm{b} & \gamma\end{array}\right|=0$ We are also given that $\alpha \neq \mathrm{a}, \beta \neq \mathrm{b}, \gamma \neq \mathrm{c}$, which ensures that terms like $\alpha-\mathrm{a}$ are non-zero. For the purpose of dividing by $a, b, c$, we assume $a,b,c \neq 0$. If any of $a,b,c$ were zero, the final result holds true (as shown in thought process).

Step 1: Divide columns by $a,b,c$ to introduce ratios. To simplify the determinant and introduce ratios like $\alpha/a$, $\beta/b$, $\gamma/c$, we perform the following operations: Multiply $C_1$ by $1/a$, $C_2$ by $1/b$, and $C_3$ by $1/c$. To maintain the value of the determinant, we must multiply the entire determinant by $abc$. $abc \left|\begin{array}{ccc} \alpha/a & b/b & c/c \\ a/a & \beta/b & c/c \\ a/a & b/b & \gamma/c \end{array}\right|=0$ Since $a,b,c \neq 0$, $abc \neq 0$. Thus, we can divide by $abc$: $\left|\begin{array}{ccc} \alpha/a & 1 & 1 \\ 1 & \beta/b & 1 \\ 1 & 1 & \gamma/c \end{array}\right|=0$

Step 2: Introduce new variables for clarity. Let $x = \alpha/a$, $y = \beta/b$, $z = \gamma/c$. The determinant becomes: $\left|\begin{array}{ccc} x & 1 & 1 \\ 1 & y & 1 \\ 1 & 1 & z \end{array}\right|=0$

Step 3: Expand the determinant. We expand the determinant along the first row: $x(yz - 1 \cdot 1) - 1(1 \cdot z - 1 \cdot 1) + 1(1 \cdot 1 - y \cdot 1) = 0$ $x(yz - 1) - (z - 1) + (1 - y) = 0$ $xyz - x - z + 1 + 1 - y = 0$ $xyz - x - y - z + 2 = 0$ This is a fundamental identity for this type of determinant.

Step 4: Relate the identity to the required expression. The expression we need to evaluate is $S = \frac{\mathrm{a}}{\alpha-\mathrm{a}}+\frac{\mathrm{b}}{\beta-\mathrm{b}}+\frac{\mathrm{c}}{\gamma-\mathrm{c}}$. Let's express $x, y, z$ in terms of the terms in $S$. Consider the first term: $\frac{\mathrm{a}}{\alpha-\mathrm{a}}$. We know $x = \frac{\alpha}{a}$. Then $x-1 = \frac{\alpha}{a} - 1 = \frac{\alpha-a}{a}$. So, $\frac{1}{x-1} = \frac{a}{\alpha-a}$. Similarly, $\frac{1}{y-1} = \frac{b}{\beta-b}$ and $\frac{1}{z-1} = \frac{c}{\gamma-c}$. Thus, the expression we need to find is $S = \frac{1}{x-1} + \frac{1}{y-1} + \frac{1}{z-1}$.

From $x-1 = \frac{1}{\frac{a}{\alpha-a}}$, we have $x = 1 + \frac{1}{\frac{a}{\alpha-a}}$. Let $A = \frac{a}{\alpha-a}$, $B = \frac{b}{\beta-b}$, $C = \frac{c}{\gamma-c}$. Then $x = 1 + \frac{1}{A}$, $y = 1 + \frac{1}{B}$, $z = 1 + \frac{1}{C}$.

Substitute these into the identity $xyz - x - y - z + 2 = 0$: $\left(1+\frac{1}{A}\right)\left(1+\frac{1}{B}\right)\left(1+\frac{1}{C}\right) - \left(1+\frac{1}{A}\right) - \left(1+\frac{1}{B}\right) - \left(1+\frac{1}{C}\right) + 2 = 0$ Let $X' = 1/A$, $Y' = 1/B$, $Z' = 1/C$. $(X'+1)(Y'+1)(Z'+1) - (X'+1) - (Y'+1) - (Z'+1) + 2 = 0$ Expand the first term: $(X'Y'+X'+Y'+1)(Z'+1) = X'Y'Z' + X'Z' + Y'Z' + Z' + X'Y' + X' + Y' + 1$ Substitute this back into the equation: $(X'Y'Z' + X'Y' + X'Z' + Y'Z' + X' + Y' + Z' + 1) - (X'+1) - (Y'+1) - (Z'+1) + 2 = 0$ $X'Y'Z' + X'Y' + X'Z' + Y'Z' + X' + Y' + Z' + 1 - X' - 1 - Y' - 1 - Z' - 1 + 2 = 0$ Combine like terms: $X'Y'Z' + X'Y' + X'Z' + Y'Z' + (X'-X') + (Y'-Y') + (Z'-Z') + (1-1-1-1+2) = 0$ $X'Y'Z' + X'Y' + X'Z' + Y'Z' = 0$ Now, substitute back $X' = 1/A$, $Y' = 1/B$, $Z' = 1/C$: $\frac{1}{ABC} + \frac{1}{AB} + \frac{1}{AC} + \frac{1}{BC} = 0$ Multiply the entire equation by $ABC$ (since $A,B,C$ are defined, their denominators $\alpha-a$, etc., are non-zero, and $a,b,c \neq 0$ implies $A,B,C \neq 0$): $1 + C + B + A = 0$ $A+B+C = -1$ Therefore, $\frac{\mathrm{a}}{\alpha-\mathrm{a}}+\frac{\mathrm{b}}{\beta-\mathrm{b}}+\frac{\mathrm{c}}{\gamma-\mathrm{c}} = -1$.

Note on the Answer: Our rigorous derivation consistently leads to a value of $-1$ for the given expression $\frac{\mathrm{a}}{\alpha-\mathrm{a}}+\frac{\mathrm{b}}{\beta-\mathrm{b}}+\frac{\mathrm{c}}{\gamma-\mathrm{c}}$. However, the provided correct answer is (A) 2. This suggests a common type of typo in competitive exams where the required expression might have been slightly different.

If the expression to be evaluated was instead $\frac{\alpha}{\alpha-\mathrm{a}}+\frac{\beta}{\beta-\mathrm{b}}+\frac{\gamma}{\gamma-\mathrm{c}}$, the solution would be: We know that $\frac{\alpha}{\alpha-\mathrm{a}} = \frac{(\alpha-\mathrm{a})+\mathrm{a}}{\alpha-\mathrm{a}} = 1 + \frac{\mathrm{a}}{\alpha-\mathrm{a}}$. Similarly, $\frac{\beta}{\beta-\mathrm{b}} = 1 + \frac{\mathrm{b}}{\beta-\mathrm{b}}$ and $\frac{\gamma}{\gamma-\mathrm{c}} = 1 + \frac{\mathrm{c}}{\gamma-\mathrm{c}}$. Let $S_{alt} = \frac{\alpha}{\alpha-\mathrm{a}}+\frac{\beta}{\beta-\mathrm{b}}+\frac{\gamma}{\gamma-\mathrm{c}}$. Then, $S_{alt} = \left(1 + \frac{\mathrm{a}}{\alpha-\mathrm{a}}\right) + \left(1 + \frac{\mathrm{b}}{\beta-\mathrm{b}}\right) + \left(1 + \frac{\mathrm{c}}{\gamma-\mathrm{c}}\right)$. $S_{alt} = 3 + \left(\frac{\mathrm{a}}{\alpha-\mathrm{a}}+\frac{\mathrm{b}}{\beta-\mathrm{b}}+\frac{\mathrm{c}}{\gamma-\mathrm{c}}\right)$. Since we found $\frac{\mathrm{a}}{\alpha-\mathrm{a}}+\frac{\mathrm{b}}{\beta-\mathrm{b}}+\frac{\mathrm{c}}{\gamma-\mathrm{c}} = -1$, the value of this alternative expression would be $S_{alt} = 3 + (-1) = 2$. This matches the given correct answer (A).
