If the sum of the diagonal elements of a $$2 \times 2$$ matrix is $$-6$$, then the maximum possible value of determinant of the matrix is ____________.

The maximum value of $$'a'$$ such that the matrix $$\left[ {\matrix{ { - 3} & 0 & { - 2} \cr 1 & { - 1} & 0 \cr 0 & a & { - 2} \cr } } \right]$$ has three linearly independent real eigenvectors is

Given Set $$\,\,\,A = \left\{ {2,3,4,5} \right\}\,\,\,$$ and Set $$\,\,\,B = \left\{ {11,12,13,14,15} \right\},\,\,\,$$ two numbers are randomly selected, one from each set. What is the probability that the sum of the two numbers equal $$16?$$

The probabilities that a student passes in Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry are $$m, p$$ and $$c$$ respectively. Of these subjects, the student has $$75$$% chance of passing in at least one, a $$50$$% chance of passing in at least two and a $$40$$% chance of passing in exactly two. Following relations are drawn in $$m, p, c:$$
$${\rm I}.$$ $$\,\,\,\,\,\,$$ $$p+m+c=27/20$$
$${\rm I}{\rm I}.$$ $$\,\,\,\,\,\,$$ $$p+m+c=13/20$$
$${\rm I}{\rm I}{\rm I}.$$ $$\,\,\,\,\,\,$$ $$\left( p \right) \times \left( m \right) \times \left( c \right) = 1/10$$
