The total number of matrices
$$A = \left( {\matrix{ 0 & {2y} & 1 \cr {2x} & y & { - 1} \cr {2x} & { - y} & 1 \cr } } \right)$$
(x, y $$ \in $$ R,x $$ \ne $$ y) for which A^TA = 3I₃ is :-

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

If $$\left[ {\matrix{ 1 & 1 \cr 0 & 1 \cr } } \right]\left[ {\matrix{ 1 & 2 \cr 0 & 1 \cr } } \right]$$$$\left[ {\matrix{ 1 & 3 \cr 0 & 1 \cr } } \right]$$....$$\left[ {\matrix{ 1 & {n - 1} \cr 0 & 1 \cr } } \right] = \left[ {\matrix{ 1 & {78} \cr 0 & 1 \cr } } \right]$$,

then the inverse of $$\left[ {\matrix{ 1 & n \cr 0 & 1 \cr } } \right]$$ is

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 :
