Let $a_1,a_2,a_3,….,a_{10}$ be in $G.P.$ with $a_i > 0$ for $i = 1, 2,….,10$ and $S$ be the set of pairs $(r,k), r, k \in N$ (the set of natural numbers) for which

$\left| {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}
  {{{\log }_e}\,a_1^ra_2^k}&{{{\log }_e}\,a_2^ra_3^k}&{{{\log }_e}\,a_3^ra_4^k} \\
  {{{\log }_e}\,a_4^ra_5^k}&{{{\log }_e}\,a_5^ra_6^k}&{{{\log }_e}\,a_6^ra_7^k} \\

\end{array}} \right| = 0$

Then the number of elements in $S$, is

If $\left| {\,\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{x + 1}&3&5\\2&{x + 2}&5\\2&3&{x + 4}\end{array}\,} \right| = 0$, then $ x =$

Let the system of linear equations $x +2 y + z =2$, $\alpha x +3 y – z =\alpha,-\alpha x + y +2 z =-\alpha$ be inconsistent. Then $\alpha$ is equal to

Find values of $x$, if $\left|\begin{array}{ll}2 & 4 \\ 5 & 1\end{array}\right|=\left|\begin{array}{cc}2 x & 4 \\ 6 & x\end{array}\right|$

Let $\theta \in\left(0, \frac{\pi}{2}\right)$. If the system of linear equations

$\left(1+\cos ^{2} \theta\right) x+\sin ^{2} \theta y+4 \sin 3 \theta z=0$

$\cos ^{2} \theta x+\left(1+\sin ^{2} \theta\right) y+4 \sin 3 \theta z=0$

$\cos ^{2} \theta x+\sin ^{2} \theta y+(1+4 \sin 3 \theta) z=0$

has a non-trivial solution, then the value of $\theta$ is :
