Let $A = \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 0 & -1 & -3 \\ 0 & 1 & 1 & k-1 \\ 0 & 0 & k-1 & 1 \end{bmatrix}$ and $k \in R$. Then,the value of $k$,if it exists,for which the rank of $A$ is $2$,is

The number of real values of $x$ at which the function $f(x) = \left| \begin{array}{ccc} 1 & |x| & x^2 \\ 1 & |x-1| & (x-1)^2 \\ 1 & |x-2| & (x-2)^2 \end{array} \right|$ is not differentiable is

If ${D_p} = \begin{vmatrix} p & 15 & 8 \\ p^2 & 35 & 9 \\ p^3 & 25 & 10 \end{vmatrix}$,then ${D_1} + {D_2} + {D_3} + {D_4} + {D_5} = $

Let $f(x) = \left| \begin{array}{ccc} 2\cos^2 x & \sin(2x) & -\sin x \\ \sin(2x) & 2\sin^2 x & \cos x \\ \sin x & -\cos x & 0 \end{array} \right|$. Then,evaluate $\int_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{2}} [f(x) + f'(x)] dx$.

The rank of the matrix $\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1 & 0 & 2 \\ 0 & 1 & -2 \\ 1 & -1 & 4 \\ 2 & 2 & 8\end{array}\right]$ is

Let $A=\begin{bmatrix} -1 & -2 & -3 \\ 3 & 4 & 5 \\ 4 & 5 & 6 \end{bmatrix}$, $B=\begin{bmatrix} 1 & -2 \\ -1 & 2 \end{bmatrix}$ and $C=\begin{bmatrix} 2 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 2 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 2 \end{bmatrix}$. If $a, b$ and $c$ respectively denote the ranks of $A, B$ and $C$, then the correct order of these numbers is:
