Let $\alpha, \beta, \gamma$ be the real roots of the equation, $x ^{3}+ ax ^{2}+ bx + c =0,( a , b , c \in R$ and $a , b \neq 0)$ If the system of equations (in, $u,v,w$) given by $\alpha u+\beta v+\gamma w=0, \beta u+\gamma v+\alpha w=0$ $\gamma u +\alpha v +\beta w =0$ has non-trivial solution, then the value of $\frac{a^{2}}{b}$ is

Consider the system of linear equations

$-x+y+2 z=0$

$3 x-a y+5 z=1$

$2 x-2 y-a z=7$

Let $S_{1}$ be the set of all $\mathrm{a} \in {R}$ for which the system is inconsistent and $S_{2}$ be the set of all $a \in {R}$ for which the system has infinitely many solutions. If $n\left(S_{1}\right)$ and $n\left(S_{2}\right)$ denote the number of elements in $S_{1}$ and $\mathrm{S}_{2}$ respectively, then
