Let $M$ and $m$ respectively be the maximum and the minimum values of $f(x)=\left|\begin{array}{ccc}1+\sin ^2 x & \cos ^2 x & 4 \sin 4 x \\ \sin ^2 x & 1+\cos ^2 x & 4 \sin 4 x \\ \sin ^2 x & \cos ^2 x & 1+4 \sin 4 x\end{array}\right|, x \in R$ Then $M ^4- m ^4$ is equal to :____

If $B$ is a $3 \times 3$ matrix such that $B^2 = 0$, then det. $[( I+ B)^{50} -50B]$ is equal to

Consider the system of linear equations

$-x+y+2 z=0$

$3 x-a y+5 z=1$

$2 x-2 y-a z=7$

Let $S_{1}$ be the set of all $\mathrm{a} \in {R}$ for which the system is inconsistent and $S_{2}$ be the set of all $a \in {R}$ for which the system has infinitely many solutions. If $n\left(S_{1}\right)$ and $n\left(S_{2}\right)$ denote the number of elements in $S_{1}$ and $\mathrm{S}_{2}$ respectively, then

Evaluate $\Delta=\left|\begin{array}{lll}3 & 2 & 3 \\ 2 & 2 & 3 \\ 3 & 2 & 3\end{array}\right|$

The cubic $\left| {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}
  0&{a - x}&{b - x} \\ 
  { - a - x}&0&{c - x} \\ 
  { - b - x}&{ - c - x}&0 
\end{array}} \right| = 0$ has a reperated root in $x$ then,
