Let $A$ and $B$ be two invertible matrices of order $3 \times 3$. If $\det(ABA^T) = 8$ and $\det(AB^{-1}) = 8$,then $\det(BA^{-1}B^T)$ is equal to

For some $\alpha, \beta \in R$, let $A = \begin{bmatrix} \alpha & 2 \\ 1 & 2 \end{bmatrix}$ and $B = \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 1 \\ 1 & \beta \end{bmatrix}$ be such that $A^{2} - 4A + 2I = B^{2} - 3B + I = O$. Then $(\text{det}(\text{adj}(A^{3} - B^{3})))^{2}$ is equal to ....

Which of the following determinant$(s)$ vanish(es)?

Let $1, \omega$ and $\omega^2$ be the cube roots of unity. If $S$ is the set of all non-singular matrices of the form $M = \begin{bmatrix} 1 & a & b \\ \omega & 1 & c \\ \omega^2 & \omega & 1 \end{bmatrix}$ where $a, b, c \in \{\omega, \omega^2\}$,then the number of elements in $S$ is

Let $A = (a_{ij})$ be an $n \times n$ matrix defined by $a_{ij} = \begin{cases} k^i, & \forall i=j \\ 0, & \text{otherwise} \end{cases}$. If $m = \text{trace of } A$ and $\lim_{k \rightarrow 1} \frac{n-m}{1-k} = 171$, then the value of $n$ is:
