If $A = \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 2 & x \\ 4 & -1 & 7 \\ 2 & 4 & -6 \end{bmatrix}$ and the rank of $A$ is $2$,then the value of $x$ is equal to

If $\Delta (x) = \left| \begin{array}{ccc} x^n & \sin x & \cos x \\ n! & \sin \frac{n\pi}{2} & \cos \frac{n\pi}{2} \\ a & a^2 & a^3 \end{array} \right|$,then the value of $\frac{d^n}{dx^n}[\Delta (x)]$ at $x = 0$ is

The number of distinct real roots of $\left|\begin{array}{lll}\sin x & \cos x & \cos x \\ \cos x & \sin x & \cos x \\ \cos x & \cos x & \sin x\end{array}\right|=0$ in the interval $-\frac{\pi}{4} \leq x \leq \frac{\pi}{4}$ is

If ${D_p} = \begin{vmatrix} p & 15 & 8 \\ p^2 & 35 & 9 \\ p^3 & 25 & 10 \end{vmatrix}$,then ${D_1} + {D_2} + {D_3} + {D_4} + {D_5} = $

Let $A = \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 0 & -1 & -3 \\ 0 & 1 & 1 & k-1 \\ 0 & 0 & k-1 & 1 \end{bmatrix}$ and $k \in R$. Then,the value of $k$,if it exists,for which the rank of $A$ is $2$,is

If $\begin{vmatrix} x^2+x & x+1 & x-2 \\ 2x^2+3x-1 & 3x & 3x-3 \\ x^2+2x+3 & 2x-1 & 2x-1 \end{vmatrix} = xA+B$,where $A$ and $B$ are determinants of order $3$ not involving $x$,then $|A|=$
