If $a_1, a_2, \ldots, a_9$ are in $G.P.$,then $\left|\begin{array}{lll}\log a_1 & \log a_2 & \log a_3 \\ \log a_4 & \log a_5 & \log a_6 \\ \log a_7 & \log a_8 & \log a_9\end{array}\right|$ is equal to

For a $3 \times 3$ matrix $A$,if $A(\operatorname{adj} A) = \begin{bmatrix} -10 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & -10 & 2 \\ 0 & 0 & -10 \end{bmatrix}$,then the value of the determinant of $A$ is:

How many $3 \times 3$ matrices $M$ with entries from $\{0, 1, 2\}$ are there,for which the sum of the diagonal entries of $M^T M$ is $5$?

If the matrix $A = \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 2 & 0 \\ 3 & 0 & -1 \end{bmatrix}$ satisfies the equation $A^{20} + \alpha A^{19} + \beta A = \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 4 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 1 \end{bmatrix}$ for some real numbers $\alpha$ and $\beta$,then $\beta - \alpha$ is equal to ........ .

If $A$ and $B$ are two square matrices such that $B = -A^{-1}BA$,then $(A + B)^2 = $

Let $A = \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 2 & 3 \\ 2 & 2 & -1 \\ 3 & 0 & k \end{bmatrix}$ and $f(x) = x^3 - 2x^2 - \alpha x + \beta = 0$. If $A$ satisfies $f(A) = 0$,then:
