If $|A|$ denotes the value of the determinant of the square matrix $A$ of order $3$ , then $ |-2A|=$
$ - 8|A|$
$8|A|$
$ - 2|A|$
None of these
If the system of equations $x +y + z = 6$ ; $x + 2y + 3z= 10$ ; $x + 2y + \lambda z = 0$ has a unique solution, then $\lambda $ is not equal to
Evaluate the determinant $\Delta=\left|\begin{array}{rrr}1 & 2 & 4 \\ -1 & 3 & 0 \\ 4 & 1 & 0\end{array}\right|$
Let $\left| {\,\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{6i}&{ - 3i}&1\\4&{3i}&{ - 1}\\{20}&3&i\end{array}\,} \right| = x + iy$, then
If the system of equations
$x+y+z=2$
$2 x+4 y-z=6$
$3 x+2 y+\lambda z=\mu$ has infinitely many solutions, then
For all values of $A,B,C$ and $P,Q,R$, the value of $\left| {\,\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{\cos (A - P)}&{\cos (A - Q)}&{\cos (A - R)}\\{\cos (B - P)}&{\cos (B - Q)}&{\cos (B - R)}\\{\cos (C - P)}&{\cos (C - Q)}&{\cos (C - R)}\end{array}\,} \right|$ is
