Let A be any 3 $$ \times $$ 3 invertible matrix. Then which one of the following is not always true ?

If $$A = \left[ {\matrix{ 2 & { - 3} \cr { - 4} & 1 \cr } } \right]$$,

then adj(3A² + 12A) is equal to

If S is the set of distinct values of 'b' for which the following system of linear equations

x + y + z = 1
x + ay + z = 1
ax + by + z = 0

has no solution, then S is :

If    A = $$\left[ {\matrix{ { - 4} & { - 1} \cr 3 & 1 \cr } } \right]$$,

then the determinant of the matrix (A²⁰¹⁶ − 2A²⁰¹⁵ − A²⁰¹⁴) is :
