Let $\alpha, \beta$ be the roots of the equation $ax^2+bx+c=0$, where $a, b, c$ are real. If $s_n = \alpha^n + \beta^n$ and $\left|\begin{array}{ccc}3 & 1+s_1 & 1+s_2 \\ 1+s_1 & 1+s_2 & 1+s_3 \\ 1+s_2 & 1+s_3 & 1+s_4\end{array}\right| = k \frac{(a+b+c)^2}{a^4}$, then $k =$

Let $\Omega$ be the set of all $3 \times 3$ symmetric matrices all of whose entries are either $0$ or $1$. Five of these entries are $1$ and four of them are $0$.

Let $A$ be a $3 \times 3$ matrix such that $X^{T}AX = O$ for all nonzero $3 \times 1$ matrices $X=\left[\begin{array}{l}x \\ y \\ z\end{array}\right]$. If $A \left[\begin{array}{l}1 \\ 1 \\ 1\end{array}\right]=\left[\begin{array}{l}1 \\ 4 \\ -5\end{array}\right]$,$A \left[\begin{array}{l}1 \\ 2 \\ 1\end{array}\right]=\left[\begin{array}{l}0 \\ 4 \\ -8\end{array}\right]$,and $\operatorname{det}(\operatorname{adj}(2(A+I)))=2^\alpha 3^\beta 5^\gamma$,where $\alpha, \beta, \gamma \in \mathbb{N}$,then $\alpha^2+\beta^2+\gamma^2$ is

Let $A$ be the set of all $3 \times 3$ matrices with entries $0$ or $1$ only. Let $B$ be the subset of $A$ consisting of all matrices with determinant value $1$. Let $C$ be the subset of $A$ consisting of all matrices with determinant value $-1$. Then:

If $A = \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 2 & 3 \\ 3 & -2 & 1 \\ 4 & 2 & 1 \end{bmatrix}$,then show that $A^{3} - 23A - 40I = 0$.
