Let $\alpha$ and $\beta$ be real numbers. Consider a $3 \times 3$ matrix $A$ such that $A^2 = 3A + \alpha I$. If $A^4 = 21A + \beta I$,then:

Let $|M|$ denote the determinant of a square matrix $M$. Let $g:\left[0, \frac{\pi}{2}\right] \rightarrow R$ be the function defined by $g(\theta)=\sqrt{f(\theta)-1}+\sqrt{f\left(\frac{\pi}{2}-\theta\right)-1}$,where $f(\theta)=\frac{1}{2}\left|\begin{array}{ccc}1 & \sin \theta & 1 \\ -\sin \theta & 1 & \sin \theta \\ -1 & -\sin \theta & 1\end{array}\right|+\left|\begin{array}{ccc}\sin \pi & \cos \left(\theta+\frac{\pi}{4}\right) & \tan \left(\theta-\frac{\pi}{4}\right) \\ \sin \left(\theta-\frac{\pi}{4}\right) & -\cos \frac{\pi}{2} & \log _e\left(\frac{4}{\pi}\right) \\ \cot \left(\theta+\frac{\pi}{4}\right) & \log _e\left(\frac{\pi}{4}\right) & \tan \pi\end{array}\right|$. Let $p(x)$ be a quadratic polynomial whose roots are the maximum and minimum values of the function $g(\theta)$,and $p(2)=2-\sqrt{2}$. Then,which of the following is/are $TRUE$?
$(A) \ p \left(\frac{3+\sqrt{2}}{4}\right) < 0$
$(B) \ p \left(\frac{1+3 \sqrt{2}}{4}\right)>0$
$(C) \ p \left(\frac{5 \sqrt{2}-1}{4}\right)>0$
$(D) \ p \left(\frac{5-\sqrt{2}}{4}\right) < 0$

If $A=\left[\begin{array}{cc}i & 0 \\ 0 & -i\end{array}\right]$,$B=\left[\begin{array}{cc}0 & -1 \\ 1 & 0\end{array}\right]$ and $C=\left[\begin{array}{cc}0 & i \\ i & 0\end{array}\right]$,then which of the following is true?

If the elements of matrix $A$ are the reciprocals of elements of matrix $\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1 & \omega & \omega^{2} \\ \omega & \omega^{2} & 1 \\ \omega^{2} & 1 & \omega\end{array}\right]$,where $\omega$ is a complex cube root of unity,then:

Let $\omega \neq 1$ be a cube root of unity and $S$ be the set of all non-singular matrices of the form $\begin{bmatrix} 1 & a & b \\ \omega & 1 & c \\ \omega^2 & \omega & 1 \end{bmatrix}$ where each of $a, b$,and $c$ is either $\omega$ or $\omega^2$. Then the number of distinct matrices in the set $S$ is
