Let $$\alpha \in(0, \infty)$$ and $$A=\left[\begin{array}{lll}1 & 2 & \alpha \\ 1 & 0 & 1 \\ 0 & 1 & 2\end{array}\right]$$. If $$\operatorname{det}\left(\operatorname{adj}\left(2 A-A^T\right) \cdot \operatorname{adj}\left(A-2 A^T\right)\right)=2^8$$, then $$(\operatorname{det}(A))^2$$ is equal to:

There are 5 points $$P_1, P_2, P_3, P_4, P_5$$ on the side $$A B$$, excluding $$A$$ and $$B$$, of a triangle $$A B C$$. Similarly there are 6 points $$\mathrm{P}_6, \mathrm{P}_7, \ldots, \mathrm{P}_{11}$$ on the side $$\mathrm{BC}$$ and 7 points $$\mathrm{P}_{12}, \mathrm{P}_{13}, \ldots, \mathrm{P}_{18}$$ on the side $$\mathrm{CA}$$ of the triangle. The number of triangles, that can be formed using the points $$\mathrm{P}_1, \mathrm{P}_2, \ldots, \mathrm{P}_{18}$$ as vertices, is:

A square is inscribed in the circle $$x^2+y^2-10 x-6 y+30=0$$. One side of this square is parallel to $$y=x+3$$. If $$\left(x_i, y_i\right)$$ are the vertices of the square, then $$\Sigma\left(x_i^2+y_i^2\right)$$ is equal to:

Let $$\alpha, \beta \in \mathbf{R}$$. Let the mean and the variance of 6 observations $$-3,4,7,-6, \alpha, \beta$$ be 2 and 23, respectively. The mean deviation about the mean of these 6 observations is :
