Let $$\alpha $$ and $$\beta $$ be the roots of the equation x² + x + 1 = 0. Then for y $$ \ne $$ 0 in R,
$$$\left| {\matrix{ {y + 1} & \alpha & \beta \cr \alpha & {y + \beta } & 1 \cr \beta & 1 & {y + \alpha } \cr } } \right|$$$ is equal to

Let the number 2,b,c be in an A.P. and
A = $$\left[ {\matrix{ 1 & 1 & 1 \cr 2 & b & c \cr 4 & {{b^2}} & {{c^2}} \cr } } \right]$$. If det(A) $$ \in $$ [2, 16], then c lies in the interval :

The greatest value of c $$ \in $$ R for which the system of linear equations
x – cy – cz = 0
cx – y + cz = 0
cx + cy – z = 0
has a non-trivial solution, is :

Let $$A = \left( {\matrix{ {\cos \alpha } & { - \sin \alpha } \cr {\sin \alpha } & {\cos \alpha } \cr } } \right)$$, ($$\alpha $$ $$ \in $$ R)
such that $${A^{32}} = \left( {\matrix{ 0 & { - 1} \cr 1 & 0 \cr } } \right)$$ then a value of $$\alpha $$ is
