Let $\theta = \frac{\pi}{5}$ and $A = \begin{bmatrix} \cos \theta & \sin \theta \\ -\sin \theta & \cos \theta \end{bmatrix}$. If $B = A + A^4$,then $\det(B)$

If $A = \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 1 \\ 1 & 1 \end{bmatrix}$ and $\det(A^n - I) = 1 - \lambda^n$ for $n \in N$,then $\lambda$ is:

The number of cubic polynomials $P(x)$ satisfying $P(1)=2, P(2)=4, P(3)=6, P(4)=8$ is

Let $A$ be a $2 \times 2$ matrix with real entries. Let $I$ be the $2 \times 2$ identity matrix. Denote by $tr(A)$ the sum of diagonal entries of $A$. Assume that $A^2 = I$.
Statement-$1$: If $A \neq I$ and $A \neq -I$,then $\det(A) = -1$.
Statement-$2$: If $A \neq I$ and $A \neq -I$,then $tr(A) \neq 0$.

Let $a$ and $b$ be non-zero real numbers such that $ab = 5/2$. Given $A = \begin{bmatrix} a & -b \\ b & a \end{bmatrix}$ and $AA^T = 20I$ (where $I$ is the identity matrix),the quadratic equation whose roots are $a$ and $b$ is:

Let $p, q, r$ be three real numbers satisfying $[p \, q \, r] \begin{bmatrix} 2 & p & q \\ -3 & q & -p+r \\ 12 & r & -q+3r \end{bmatrix} = [5 \, b \, c]$. Then the minimum value of $(b+c)$ is:
