$\left| {\,\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{1/a}&1&{bc}\\{1/b}&1&{ca}\\{1/c}&1&{ab}\end{array}\,} \right| = $

A root of the equation $\left| {\,\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{3 - x}&{ - 6}&3\\{ - 6}&{3 - x}&3\\3&3&{ - 6 - x}\end{array}\,} \right| = 0$ is

Evaluate the determinant $\Delta=\left|\begin{array}{rrr}1 & 2 & 4 \\ -1 & 3 & 0 \\ 4 & 1 & 0\end{array}\right|$

Consider the system of equations

$ x-2 y+3 z=-1 $ ; $ -x+y-2 z=k $ ; $ x-3 y+4 z=1$

$STATEMENT -1$ : The system of equations has no solution for $\mathrm{k} \neq 3$. and

$STATEMENT - 2$ : The determinant $\left|\begin{array}{ccc}1 & 3 & -1 \\ -1 & -2 & \mathrm{k} \\ 1 & 4 & 1\end{array}\right| \neq 0$, for $\mathrm{k} \neq 3$.

If $x, y, z$ are in arithmetic progression with common difference $d , x \neq 3 d ,$ and the
determinant of the matrix $\left[\begin{array}{ccc}3 & 4 \sqrt{2} & x \\ 4 & 5 \sqrt{2} & y \\ 5 & k & z\end{array}\right]$ is zero, then the value of $k ^{2}$ is ..... .

If ${A_\lambda } = \left( {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}
\lambda &{\lambda  - 1}\\
{\lambda  - 1}&\lambda 
\end{array}} \right);\,\lambda  \in N$ then $|A_1| + |A_2| + ..... + |A_{300}|$ is equal to
