PQ=kI∣P∣.∣Q∣=k3
⇒∣P∣=2k=0⇒P is an invertible matrix
∵PQ=kI
∴Q=kP−1I
∴Q=2adj.P
∵q23=−8k
∴2−(3α+4)=−8k⇒k=4
∴∣P∣=2k⇒k=10+6α…(i)
Put value of k in (i).. we get α=−1
⇒α2+k2=17

The number of elements in the set $S = \left\{(r, k) : k \in \mathbb{Z} \text{ and } {}^{36}C_{r+1} = \dfrac{6\left({}^{35}C_r\right)}{(k^2 - 3)}\right\}$, is :
Suppose $\mathrm{a}, \mathrm{b}, \mathrm{c}$ are in A.P. and $\mathrm{a}^{2}, 2 \mathrm{~b}^{2}, \mathrm{c}^{2}$ are in G.P. If $\mathrm{a}<\mathrm{b}<\mathrm{c}$ and $\mathrm{a}+\mathrm{b}+\mathrm{c}=1$, then $9\left(\mathrm{a}^{2}+\mathrm{b}^{2}+\mathrm{c}^{2}\right)$ is equal to $\_\_\_\_$ .
Let $S=\left\{z \in \mathbb{C}: 4 z^{2}+\bar{z}=0\right\}$. Then $\sum_{z \in S}|z|^{2}$ is equal to:
Let $S=\{z: 3 \leqslant|2 z-3(1+i)| \leqslant 7\}$ be a set of complex numbers. Then $\min _{z \in S}\left|\left(z+\frac{1}{2}(5+3 i)\right)\right|$ is equal to :
Let $A = \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 0 & 0 \\ 3 & 1 & 0 \\ 9 & 3 & 1 \end{bmatrix}$ and $B = [b_{ij}]$, $1 \leq i, j \leq 3$. If $B = A^{99} - I$, then the value of $\dfrac{b_{31} - b_{21}}{b_{32}}$ is :
