If $\mathrm{a}_{\mathrm{r}}=\cos \frac{2 \mathrm{r} \pi}{9}+i \sin \frac{2 \mathrm{r} \pi}{9}, \mathrm{r}=1,2,3, \ldots, i=\sqrt{-1}$ then the determinant $\left|\begin{array}{lll}a_{1} & a_{2} & a_{3} \\ a_{4} & a_{5} & a_{6} \\ a_{7} & a_{8} & a_{9}\end{array}\right|$ is equal to :

How many values of $k $ , systeam of linear equations $\left( {k + 1} \right)x + 8y = 4k\;,\;kx + \left( {k + 3} \right)y$$ = 3k - 1$ has no solutions.

If $A = \left| {\,\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{\sin (\theta + \alpha )}&{\cos (\theta + \alpha )}&1\\{\sin (\theta + \beta )}&{\cos (\theta + \beta )}&1\\{\sin (\theta + \gamma )}&{\cos (\theta + \gamma )}&1\end{array}\,} \right|$ ,then

Evaluate the determinants

$\left|\begin{array}{ccc}2 & -1 & -2 \\ 0 & 2 & -1 \\ 3 & -5 & 0\end{array}\right|$

$\left| {\,\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{13}&{16}&{19}\\{14}&{17}&{20}\\{15}&{18}&{21}\end{array}\,} \right| = $

If $A\, = \,\left[ \begin{gathered}
