Matrices and Determinants
If $a$ and $b$ are any two real numbers, then
$ \left|\begin{array}{ccc} 2 a-2 b-4 & 4 a & 4 a \\ 4 & 2-b-a & 4 \\ 2 b & 2 b & b-a-2 \end{array}\right|= $
$4\left[(a+b)^3+8(a+b)^2+16(a+b)+8\right]$
$\frac{1}{2}(a+b+2)^3$
$2\left[(a+b)^3+6(a+b)^2+12(a+b)+8\right]$
$(a+b+2)^3$
Let $A=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}2 & -2 & -4 \\ -1 & 3 & 4 \\ 1 & -2 & x\end{array}\right]$ and $A^2=A$. If $r$ is the rank of $A$, then $r+x=$

Let $a, b, c, d \in \mathbf{R}$ be such that $a d-b c \neq 0$ and $e$ be a positive number other than 1 .
If $x^a y^b=e^m, x^c y^d=e^n, \Delta_1=\left|\begin{array}{ll}m & b \\ n & d\end{array}\right|, \Delta_2=\left|\begin{array}{cc}a & m \\ c & n\end{array}\right|$ and $\Delta_3=\left|\begin{array}{ll}a & b \\ c & d\end{array}\right|$, then the values of $x$ and $y$ are respectively.
$e^{\frac{\Delta_1}{\Delta_3}}, e^{\frac{\Delta_2}{\Delta_3}}$
$e^{\frac{\Delta_3}{\Delta_2}}, e^{\frac{\Delta_1}{\Delta_2}}$
$e^{\frac{-\Delta_1}{\Delta_3}}, e^{\frac{-\Delta_2}{\Delta_3}}$
$e^{\frac{\Delta_2}{\Delta_1}}, e^{\frac{\Delta_3}{\Delta_1}}$
Let $A=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1 & 4 & 2 \\ 2 & -1 & 4 \\ -3 & 7 & -6\end{array}\right]$ and $B=\left[b_{i j}\right]_{3 \times 3}$ with $b_{11}=2$, $b_{13}=-2, b_{12}=0$ is such that $A B=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}2 & 14 & -4 \\ 4 & 1 & -8 \\ -6 & 15 & 12\end{array}\right]$, then $|B|+\operatorname{trace}(B)=$

All the real values of $p, q$ so that the system of equations
$ 2 x+p y+6 z=8, x+2 y+q z=5 $
and $\quad x+y+3 z=4$
may have no solution are
$p=2, q \neq 3$
$p=2, q=\frac{15}{2}$
$p \neq 2, q=3$
$p=3, q=\frac{15}{4}$
If $p$ and $q$ are two distinct real values of $\lambda$ for which the system of equations
$ \begin{array}{r} (\lambda-1) x+(3 \lambda+1) y+2 \lambda z=0 \\ (\lambda-1) x+(4 \lambda-2) y+(\lambda+3) z=0 \\ 2 x+(3 \lambda+1) y+3(\lambda-1) z=0 \end{array} $
has non-zero solution, then $p^2+q^2-p q=$
