Let $P=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}3 & -1 & -2 \\ 2 & 0 & \alpha \\ 3 & -5 & 0\end{array}\right]$, where $\alpha \in \mathbb{R}$. Suppose $Q=\left[q_{i j}\right]$ is a matrix such that $P Q=k I$, where $k \in \mathbb{R}, k \neq 0$ and $I$ is the identity matrix of order $3$ . If $q_{23}=-\frac{k}{8}$ and $\operatorname{det}(Q)=\frac{k^2}{2}$, then

($A$) $\quad \alpha=0, k=8$

($B$) $4 \alpha-k+8=0$

($C$) $\operatorname{det}(P \operatorname{adj}(Q))=2^9$

($D$) $\operatorname{det}(Q \operatorname{adj}(P))=2^{13}$

By using properties of determinants, show that:

$\left|\begin{array}{ccc}a-b-c & 2 a & 2 a \\ 2 b & b-c-a & 2 b \\ 2 c & 2 c & c-a-b\end{array}\right|=(a+b+c)^{3}$
