Suppose $D = \left| {\,\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{{a_1}}&{{b_1}}&{{c_1}}\\{{a_2}}&{{b_2}}&{{c_2}}\\{{a_3}}&{{b_3}}&{{c_3}}\end{array}\,} \right|$ and $D' = \left| {\,\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{{a_1} + p{b_1}}&{{b_1} + q{c_1}}&{{c_1} + r{a_1}}\\{{a_2} + p{b_2}}&{{b_2} + q{c_2}}&{{c_2} + r{a_2}}\\{{a_3} + p{b_3}}&{{b_3} + q{c_3}}&{{c_3} + r{a_3}}\end{array}\,} \right|$, then

If the lines $x + 2ay + a = 0$, $x + 3by + b = 0$  and $x + 4cy + c = 0$ are concurrent, then $a$, $b$ and $c$ are in

Evaluate $\left|\begin{array}{rr}2 & 4 \\ -1 & 2\end{array}\right|$

If $a$, $b$, $c$, $d$, $e$, $f$ are in $G.P$., then the value of $\left| {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}
  {{a^2}}&{{d^2}}&x \\ 
  {{b^2}}&{{e^2}}&y \\ 
  {{c^2}}&{{f^2}}&z 
\end{array}} \right|$ depends on

Let $d \in R$, and  $A = \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} { - 2}&{4 + d}&{\left( {\sin \,\theta } \right) - 2}\\ 1&{\left( {\sin \,\theta } \right) + 2}&d\\ 5&{\left( {2\sin \,\theta } \right) - d}&{\left( { - \sin \,\theta } \right) + 2 + 2d} \end{array}} \right]$, $\theta  \in \left[ {0,2\pi } \right]$. If the minimum value of det $(A)$ is $8$, then a value of $d$ is
