Let $a, b, c$ be non-real numbers satisfying the equation $x^5 = 1$ and $S$ be the set of all non-invertible matrices of the form $\begin{bmatrix} 1 & a & b \\ w & 1 & c \\ w^2 & w & 1 \end{bmatrix}$,where $w = e^{\frac{i 2\pi}{5}}$. Then the number of distinct matrices in the set $S$ is:

Consider the following relation $R$ on the set of real square matrices of order $3$. $R = \{(A,B) | A = P^{-1}BP \text{ for some invertible matrix } P\}$.
\textbf{Statement-$1$:} $R$ is an equivalence relation.
\textbf{Statement-$2$:} For any two invertible $3 \times 3$ matrices $M$ and $N$,$(MN)^{-1} = N^{-1}M^{-1}$.

For some $\alpha, \beta \in R$, let $A = \begin{bmatrix} \alpha & 2 \\ 1 & 2 \end{bmatrix}$ and $B = \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 1 \\ 1 & \beta \end{bmatrix}$ be such that $A^{2} - 4A + 2I = B^{2} - 3B + I = O$. Then $(\text{det}(\text{adj}(A^{3} - B^{3})))^{2}$ is equal to ....

If $A = \begin{bmatrix} 1 & -1 \\ 2 & -1 \end{bmatrix}$,$B = \begin{bmatrix} a & 1 \\ b & -1 \end{bmatrix}$ and $(A + B)^2 = A^2 + B^2$,then the values of $a$ and $b$ are:

Let $A = \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 2 \\ 1 & \alpha \end{bmatrix}$ and $B = \begin{bmatrix} 3 & 3 \\ \beta & 2 \end{bmatrix}$. If $A^2 - 4A + I = O$ and $B^2 - 5B - 6I = O$, then among the two statements:
(S1): $[(B - A)(B + A)]^T = \begin{bmatrix} 13 & 15 \\ 7 & 10 \end{bmatrix}$
and
(S2): $\det(\text{adj}(A + B)) = -5$.

$A$ and $B$ are two non-singular square matrices of order $3 \times 3$ such that $AB = A$ and $|A + B| \neq 0$. Then:
