Let $S$ be the set of all real values of $k$ for which the system oflinear equations $x +y + z = 2$ ; $2x +y - z = 3$ ; $3x + 2y + kz = 4$ has a unique solution. Then $S$ is
$\left| {\,\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{13}&{16}&{19}\\{14}&{17}&{20}\\{15}&{18}&{21}\end{array}\,} \right| = $
If $\omega $ is an imaginary root of unity, then the value of $\left| {\,\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}a&{b{\omega ^2}}&{a\omega }\\{b\omega }&c&{b{\omega ^2}}\\{c{\omega ^2}}&{a\omega }&c\end{array}\,} \right|$ is
The existence of the unique solution of the system $x + y + z = \lambda ,$ $5x - y + \mu z = 10$, $2x + 3y - z = 6$ depends on
$\left| {\,\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}1&a&{{a^2} - bc}\\1&b&{{b^2} - ac}\\1&c&{{c^2} - ab}\end{array}\,} \right| = $
