Let $A = \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 2 & 3 \\ 2 & 2 & -1 \\ 3 & 0 & k \end{bmatrix}$ and $f(x) = x^3 - 2x^2 - \alpha x + \beta = 0$. If $A$ satisfies $f(A) = 0$,then:

Let $A_1, A_2, A_3$ be three $A$.$P$.s with the same common difference $d$ and having their first terms as $A, A+1, A+2$,respectively. Let $a, b, c$ be the $7^{\text{th}}, 9^{\text{th}}, 17^{\text{th}}$ terms of $A_1, A_2, A_3$,respectively,such that $\left|\begin{array}{lll} a & 7 & 1 \\ 2b & 17 & 1 \\ c & 17 & 1\end{array}\right|+70=0$. If $a=29$,then the sum of the first $20$ terms of an $A$.$P$. whose first term is $c-a-b$ and common difference is $\frac{d}{12}$,is equal to $........$.

Let $M$ and $N$ be two $3 \times 3$ matrices such that $MN = NM$. Further,if $M \neq N^2$ and $M^2 = N^4$,then:
$(A)$ determinant of $(M^2 + MN^2)$ is $0$
$(B)$ there is a $3 \times 3$ non-zero matrix $U$ such that $(M^2 + MN^2)U$ is the zero matrix
$(C)$ determinant of $(M^2 + MN^2) \geq 1$
$(D)$ for a $3 \times 3$ matrix $U$,if $(M^2 + MN^2)U$ equals the zero matrix then $U$ is the zero matrix

For any $3 \times 3$ matrix $M$,let $|M|$ denote the determinant of $M$. Let $I$ be the $3 \times 3$ identity matrix. Let $E$ and $F$ be two $3 \times 3$ matrices such that $(I-EF)$ is invertible. If $G=(I-EF)^{-1}$,then which of the following statements is (are) $TRUE$?
$(A) |FE|=|I-FE||FGE|$
$(B) |I-FE|(I+FGE)=I$
$(C) EFG=GEF$
$(D) (I-FE)(I-FGE)=I$

If the function $f:[a, b] \rightarrow \left[-\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}, \frac{1}{2}\right]$ defined by $f(x) = \left| \begin{array}{ccc} 1 & 1 & 1 \\ 1 & 1+\sin x & 1 \\ 1+\cos x & 1 & 1 \end{array} \right|$ is one-one and onto, then:

Let $S =\{ M = [a_{ij}], a_{ij} \in \{0,1,2\}, 1 \leq i, j \leq 2\}$ be a sample space and $A = \{M \in S : M \text{ is invertible}\}$ be an event. Then $P(A)$ is equal to
