If $$B = \left[ {\matrix{ 5 & {2\alpha } & 1 \cr 0 & 2 & 1 \cr \alpha & 3 & { - 1} \cr } } \right]$$ is the inverse of a 3 × 3 matrix A, then the sum of all values of $$\alpha $$ for which det(A) + 1 = 0, is :

A 2 m ladder leans against a vertical wall. If the top of the ladder begins to slide down the wall at the rate 25 cm/sec, then the rate (in cm/sec.) at which the bottom of the ladder slides away from the wall on the horizontal ground when the top of the ladder is 1 m above the ground is :

The equation y = sinx sin (x + 2) – sin² (x + 1) represents a straight line lying in :

If the truth value of the statement p $$ \to $$ (~q $$ \vee $$ r) is false (F), then the truth values of the statements p, q, r are respectively :
