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:

$\left|\begin{array}{ccc}x+2 & x+3 & x+5 \\ x+4 & x+6 & x+9 \\ x+8 & x+11 & x+15\end{array}\right|$ is equal to

If $a, b$ and $c$ are real numbers such that $a^2+b^2+c^2-ab-bc-ac \leq 0$,then the value of the determinant $\left|\begin{array}{ccc} (a-b+1)^5 & b^7-c^7 & c^9-a^9 \\ a^{11}-b^{11} & (b-c+2)^3 & c^{13}-a^{13} \\ a^{15}-b^{15} & b^{17}-c^{17} & (c-a+3)^1 \end{array}\right|$ is:

If the system of equations $ (k+1)^3 x + (k+2)^3 y = (k+3)^3 $, $ (k+1) x + (k+2) y = k+3 $, and $ x + y = 1 $ is consistent, then the value of $ k $ is:

Let $A = \begin{bmatrix} 2 & 0 & 3 \\ 4 & 7 & 11 \\ 5 & 4 & 8 \end{bmatrix}$. Then

If $\left| \begin{array}{ccc} a & b & a\alpha - b \\ b & c & b\alpha - c \\ 2 & 1 & 0 \end{array} \right| = 0$ and $\alpha \neq \frac{1}{2}$,then
