Let $A = \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}
  2&b&1 \\ 
  b&{{b^2} + 1}&b \\ 
  1&b&2 
\end{array}} \right]$  where $b > 0$. Then the minimum value of $\frac{{\det \left( A \right)}}{b}$ is

If $'a'$ is non real complex number for which system of equations $ax -a^2y + a^3z$ = $0$ , $-a^2x + a^3y + az$ = $0$ and $a^3x + ay -a^2z$ = $0$ has non trivial solutions, then $|a|$ is 

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

$l,m,n$ are the ${p^{th}},{q^{th}}$and ${r^{th}}$term of a G.P., all positive, then $\left| {\,\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{\log l}&{p\,\,\,\,\,\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}1\end{array}}\\{\log m}&{q\,\,\,\,\,\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}1\end{array}}\\{\log n}&{r\,\,\,\,\,\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}1\end{array}}\end{array}\,} \right|$ equals

If $n$  be the number of values of $x$ for which
matrix $\Delta (x) =\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}
{ - x}&x&2\\
2&x&{ - x}\\
x&{ - 2}&{ - x}
\end{array}} \right]$ will be singular, then $det(\Delta\,(n))$ is

$($ where $det(B)$ denotes determinant of Matrix $B) -$
