Consider the following linear equations:
$ax+by+cz=0$,$bx+cy+az=0$,$cx+ay+bz=0$
Match the conditions/expressions in Column $I$ with statements in Column $II$:

Column $I$	Column $II$
$(A)$ $a+b+c \neq 0$ and $a^2+b^2+c^2=ab+bc+ca$	$(p)$ The equations represent planes meeting only at a single point.
$(B)$ $a+b+c=0$ and $a^2+b^2+c^2 \neq ab+bc+ca$	$(q)$ The equations represent the line $x=y=z$.
$(C)$ $a+b+c \neq 0$ and $a^2+b^2+c^2 \neq ab+bc+ca$	$(r)$ The equations represent identical planes.
$(D)$ $a+b+c=0$ and $a^2+b^2+c^2=ab+bc+ca$	$(s)$ The equations represent the whole of the three-dimensional space.

If $A = \begin{bmatrix} \cos^2 \alpha & \cos \alpha \sin \alpha \\ \cos \alpha \sin \alpha & \sin^2 \alpha \end{bmatrix}$ and $B = \begin{bmatrix} \cos^2 \beta & \cos \beta \sin \beta \\ \cos \beta \sin \beta & \sin^2 \beta \end{bmatrix}$ are two matrices such that the product $AB$ is a null matrix,then $\alpha - \beta$ is:

Let $R = \begin{bmatrix} x & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & y & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & z \end{bmatrix}$ be a non-zero $3 \times 3$ matrix,where $x \sin \theta = y \sin \left(\theta + \frac{2 \pi}{3}\right) = z \sin \left(\theta + \frac{4 \pi}{3}\right) \neq 0$,$\theta \in (0, 2 \pi)$. For a square matrix $M$,let $\text{trace}(M)$ denote the sum of all the diagonal entries of $M$. Then,among the statements:
$(I) \text{ Trace}(R) = 0$
$(II) \text{ If trace}(\text{adj}(\text{adj}(R))) = 0, \text{ then } R \text{ has exactly one non-zero entry.}$

Matrix $A$ is such that ${A^2} = 2A - I$,where $I$ is the identity matrix. Then for $n \ge 2$,${A^n} = $
