If $\left| {\,\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}a&b&c\\b&c&a\\c&a&b\end{array}\,} \right| = k(a + b + c)({a^2} + {b^2} + {c^2}$ $ - bc - ca - ab)$, then $k =$

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

Let for any three distinct consecutive terms $a, b, c$ of an $A.P,$ the lines $a x+b y+c=0$ be concurrent at the point $\mathrm{P}$ and $\mathrm{Q}(\alpha, \beta)$ be a point such that the system of equations $ x+y+z=6, $ $ 2 x+5 y+\alpha z=\beta$ and $x+2 y+3 z=4$, has infinitely many solutions. Then $(P Q)^2$ is equal to________.
