Which of the following is correct?
Let $S_1$ and $S_2$ be respectively the sets of all $a \in R -\{0\}$ for which the system of linear equations
$a x+2 a y-3 a z=1$
$(2 a+1) x+(2 a+3) y+(a+1) z=2$
$(3 a+5) x+(a+5) y+(a+2) z=3$
has unique solution and infinitely many solutions. Then
Solution of the equation $\left| {\,\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}1&1&x\\{p + 1}&{p + 1}&{p + x}\\3&{x + 1}&{x + 2}\end{array}\,} \right| = 0$ are
Let $A = \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}
2&b&1 \\
b&{{b^2} + 1}&b \\
1&b&2
\end{array}} \right]$ where $b > 0$. Then the minimum value of $\frac{{\det \left( A \right)}}{b}$ is
The value of $k$ for which the set of equations $x + ky + 3z = 0,$ $3x + ky - 2z = 0,$ $2x + 3y - 4z = 0$ has a non trivial solution over the set of rationals is
