The values of the determinant $\left| {\,\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}1&{\cos (\alpha - \beta )}&{\cos \alpha }\\{\cos (\alpha - \beta )}&1&{\cos \beta }\\{\cos \alpha }&{\cos \beta }&1\end{array}\,} \right|$ is

The system of linear equations $x + y + z = 2$, $2x + y - z = 3,$ $3x + 2y + kz = 4$has a unique solution if

The values of $x $ in the following determinant equation, $\left| {\,\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{a + x}&{a - x}&{a - x}\\{a - x}&{a + x}&{a - x}\\{a - x}&{a - x}&{a + x}\end{array}\,} \right| = 0$ are

If $a \ne p,b \ne q,c \ne r$ and $\left| {\,\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}p&b&c\\{p + a}&{q + b}&{2c}\\a&b&r\end{array}\,} \right|$ =$ 0$, then $\frac{p}{{p - a}} + \frac{q}{{q - b}} + \frac{r}{{r - c}} = $

Let $\alpha $ and $\beta $ be the roots of the equation $x^2 + x + 1 = 0.$ Then for $y \ne 0$ in $R,$ $\left| {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}
{y\, + \,1}&\alpha &\beta \\
\alpha &{y\, + \,\beta }&1\\
\beta &1&{y\, + \,\alpha }
\end{array}} \right|$ is equal to

If the system of equations

$x-2 y+3 z=9$

$2 x+y+z=b$

$x-7 y+a z=24$

has infinitely many solutions, then $a - b$ is equal to
