If the following system of linear equations
$2 x+y+z=5$
$x-y+z=3$
$x+y+a z=b$
has no solution, then :
If $-9 $ is a root of the equation $\left| {\,\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}x&3&7\\2&x&2\\7&6&x\end{array}\,} \right| = 0$ then the other two roots are
Let $\alpha \beta \gamma=45 ; \alpha, \beta, \gamma \in R$. If $x(\alpha, 1,2)+y(1, \beta, 2)$ $+z(2,3, \gamma)=(0,0,0)$ for some $x, y, z \in R, x y z \neq$ 0 , then $6 \alpha+4 \beta+\gamma$ is equal to..............
Evaluate $\Delta=\left|\begin{array}{ccc}0 & \sin \alpha & -\cos \alpha \\ -\sin \alpha & 0 & \sin \beta \\ \cos \alpha & -\sin \beta & 0\end{array}\right|$
If $\left| {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}
