If $A$ is a skew-symmetric matrix of order $3$ and $X$ is another matrix of the same order,then $|XA + AX^T|$ is (where $|P|$ denotes the determinant of matrix $P$).

Let $M=\begin{bmatrix} \sin^4 \theta & -1-\sin^2 \theta \\ 1+\cos^2 \theta & \cos^4 \theta \end{bmatrix} = \alpha I + \beta M^{-1}$,where $\alpha = \alpha(\theta)$ and $\beta = \beta(\theta)$ are real numbers,and $I$ is the $2 \times 2$ identity matrix. If $\alpha^*$ is the minimum of the set $\{\alpha(\theta) : \theta \in [0, 2\pi)\}$ and $\beta^*$ is the minimum of the set $\{\beta(\theta) : \theta \in [0, 2\pi)\}$,then the value of $\alpha^* + \beta^*$ 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

If $\begin{bmatrix} x & 4 & -1 \end{bmatrix} \begin{bmatrix} 2 & 1 & 0 \\ 1 & 0 & 2 \\ 0 & 2 & 4 \end{bmatrix} \begin{bmatrix} x \\ 4 \\ -1 \end{bmatrix} = 0$,then $x=$

Let $x, y, z > 1$ and $A = \begin{bmatrix} 1 & \log_x y & \log_x z \\ \log_y x & 2 & \log_y z \\ \log_z x & \log_z y & 3 \end{bmatrix}$. Then $|\operatorname{adj}(\operatorname{adj} A^2)|$ is equal to

If $A = \begin{bmatrix} 0 & -1 \\ 1 & 0 \end{bmatrix}$,then which one of the following statements is not correct?
