Let $a, b, c > 0$ and $\Delta  = \left| \begin{gathered}
  a + b\,\,b\,\,c \hfill \\
  b\, + \,c\,\,c\,\,\,a \hfill \\
  c + a\,\,a\,\,b \hfill \\ 
\end{gathered}  \right| ,$ then which of the following is not correct?

  • A

    $\Delta = -[a^3 + b^3 + c^3 - 3abc$]

  • B

    $\Delta\leq 0$

  • C

    $\Delta = 0 \Rightarrow\   a + b + c = 0$

  • D

    $\Delta  = 0$ if $a = b = c$
