Let $k_1$, $k_2$ be the maximum and minimum values of $k$ for which the system of equations given by

$x + ky = 1$ ; $kx + y = 2$;  $x + y = k$  are consistent then $k_1^2 + k_2^2$ is equal to

Let $\omega = - \frac{1}{2} + i\frac{{\sqrt 3 }}{2}$. Then the value of the determinant $\left| {\,\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}1&1&1\\1&{ - 1 - {\omega ^2}}&{{\omega ^2}}\\1&{{\omega ^2}}&{{\omega ^4}}\end{array}\,} \right|$ is

The values of $\theta, \lambda$ for which the following equations $\sin \theta x - cos\theta y + (\lambda +1)z = 0$; $\cos\theta x + \sin\theta\, y - \lambda z = 0$;$ \lambda x +(\lambda + 1)y + \cos\theta z = 0$ have non trivial solution, is

For non zero, $a,b,c$ if $\Delta = \left| {\,\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{1 + a}&1&1\\1&{1 + b}&1\\1&1&{1 + c}\end{array}} \right| = 0$, then the value of $\frac{1}{a} + \frac{1}{b} + \frac{1}{c} = $
