Let $A = [a_{ij}]$ be a $3 \times 3$ matrix,where
$a_{ij} = 1$,if $i = j$
$a_{ij} = -x$,if $|i - j| = 1$
$a_{ij} = 2x + 1$,otherwise
Let a function $f: R \rightarrow R$ be defined as $f(x) = \det(A)$. Then the sum of maximum and minimum values of $f$ on $R$ is equal to:

Let $A = \begin{bmatrix} 2 & -1 & -1 \\ 1 & 0 & -1 \\ 1 & -1 & 0 \end{bmatrix}$ and $B = A - I$. If $\omega = \frac{\sqrt{3}i - 1}{2}$, then the number of elements in the set $\{n \in \{1, 2, \ldots, 100\} : A^n + (\omega B)^n = A + B\}$ is equal to $..........$

Let $\alpha$ be a root of the equation $(a-c)x^2 + (b-a)x + (c-b) = 0$,where $a, b, c$ are distinct real numbers such that the matrix $\begin{bmatrix} \alpha^2 & \alpha & 1 \\ 1 & 1 & 1 \\ a & b & c \end{bmatrix}$ is singular. Then the value of $\frac{(a-c)^2}{(b-a)(c-b)} + \frac{(b-a)^2}{(a-c)(c-b)} + \frac{(c-b)^2}{(a-c)(b-a)}$ is:

If $\begin{bmatrix} a & b & c \\ d & e & f \\ g & h & i \end{bmatrix}$ is a skew-symmetric matrix and $b, c, f$ are non-zero real numbers, then $\frac{b}{c} = $

The number of positive integral solutions of the equation $\left| {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{{x^3} + 1}&{{x^2}y}&{{x^2}z}\\{x{y^2}}&{{y^3} + 1}&{{y^2}z}\\{x{z^2}}&{y{z^2}}&{{z^3} + 1}\end{array}} \right| = 11$ is

$A$ determinant is chosen at random from the set of all determinants of order $2 \times 2$ with elements $0$ or $1$ only. The probability that the determinant chosen is non-zero is
