The value of $\det A$, where $A = \begin{bmatrix} 1 & \cos \theta & 0 \\ -\cos \theta & 1 & \cos \theta \\ -1 & -\cos \theta & 1 \end{bmatrix}$, lies

Let $S$ be the set of all values of $\theta \in [-\pi, \pi]$ for which the system of linear equations
$x + y + \sqrt{3} z = 0$
$-x + (\tan \theta) y + \sqrt{7} z = 0$
$x + y + (\tan \theta) z = 0$
has a non-trivial solution. Then $\frac{120}{\pi} \sum_{\theta \in S} \theta$ is equal to

If $f(x) = \left| \begin{array}{ccc} x-3 & 2x^2-18 & 3x^3-81 \\ x-5 & 2x^2-50 & 4x^3-500 \\ 1 & 2 & 3 \end{array} \right|$,then $f(1)f(3) + f(3)f(5) + f(5)f(1)$ is equal to

What is the value of $\left|\begin{array}{ccc}a & b & c \\ a-b & b-c & c-a \\ b+c & c+a & a+b\end{array}\right|=$ ?

If $k > 1$ and the determinant of the matrix $A^2$, where $A = \begin{bmatrix} k & k\alpha & \alpha \\ 0 & \alpha & k\alpha \\ 0 & 0 & k \end{bmatrix}$, is $k^2$, then $|\alpha|$ is equal to

If $A = \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 0 & 1 \\ 2 & 1 & 0 \\ 3 & 2 & 1 \end{bmatrix}$,then $\det A$ =
