Let $M = \begin{bmatrix} 0 & -\alpha \\ \alpha & 0 \end{bmatrix}$,where $\alpha$ is a non-zero real number and $N = \sum_{k=1}^{49} M^{2k}$. If $(I - M^2)N = -2I$,then the positive integral value of $\alpha$ is

Let $A$ be a $3 \times 3$ matrix such that $A \begin{bmatrix} 1 \\ 0 \\ 1 \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} 5 \\ 2 \\ 2 \end{bmatrix}$ and $A \begin{bmatrix} 0 \\ 0 \\ 1 \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} 3 \\ 1 \\ 1 \end{bmatrix}$. If $\det(A) = 1$ and the matrix $A$ satisfies $A \begin{bmatrix} 0 \\ 1 \\ 0 \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} 1 \\ 2 \\ 1 \end{bmatrix}$, then $\det(\text{adj}(A^2 + A))$ is equal to:

$A=\left[\begin{array}{lll}1 & 0 & 1 \\ 0 & 1 & 1 \\ 0 & 1 & 0\end{array}\right] \Rightarrow A^2-2 A=$

Let $S =\{ M = [a_{ij}], a_{ij} \in \{0,1,2\}, 1 \leq i, j \leq 2\}$ be a sample space and $A = \{M \in S : M \text{ is invertible}\}$ be an event. Then $P(A)$ is equal to

Let $A$ be a square matrix of order $2$ such that $|A|=2$ and the sum of its diagonal elements is $-3$. If the points $(x, y)$ satisfying $A^2+xA+yI=0$ lie on a hyperbola,whose transverse axis is parallel to the $x$-axis,eccentricity is $e$ and the length of the latus rectum is $\ell$,then $e^4+\ell^4$ is equal to?

If $P$ is a square matrix with $P^2=P$ and if $I$ is the unit matrix of the same order as of $P$,then $(P+I)^4=$
