The area of the triangle with vertices $(a, b)$,$(x_1, y_1)$,and $(x_2, y_2)$,where $a, x_1, x_2$ are in $G.P.$ with common ratio $r$ and $b, y_1, y_2$ are in $G.P.$ with common ratio $s$,is given by

Evaluate the determinant: $\left|\begin{array}{ccc}0 & 1 & 2 \\ -1 & 0 & -3 \\ -2 & 3 & 0\end{array}\right|$

Let $f(\theta) = \left| \begin{array}{ccc} 1 & \cos \theta & -1 \\ -\sin \theta & 1 & -\cos \theta \\ -1 & \sin \theta & 1 \end{array} \right|$. Suppose $A$ and $B$ are respectively the maximum and minimum values of $f(\theta)$. Then $(A, B)$ is equal to

Let $A(a, 0)$,$B(b, 2b+1)$,and $C(0, b)$,where $b \neq 0$ and $|b| \neq 1$,be points such that the area of triangle $ABC$ is $1 \, \text{sq. unit}$. Then,the sum of all possible values of $a$ is:

Let $[.]$,$\{.\}$ and $\operatorname{sgn}(.)$ denote the greatest integer function,fractional part function,and signum function respectively. Then,the value of the determinant $\left| {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} {[ \pi ]} & {\operatorname{amp}(1 + i\sqrt 3 )} & 1 \\ 1 & 0 & 2 \\ {\operatorname{sgn} (\cot^{ - 1}x)} & 1 & {\{ \pi \} } \end{array}} \right|$ is:

If $a, b, c$ are in $A.P.$,then the determinant $\left|\begin{array}{lll}x+2 & x+3 & x+2a \\ x+3 & x+4 & x+2b \\ x+4 & x+5 & x+2c\end{array}\right|$ is
