If inverse of the matrix $\left[\begin{array}{cc}2 & -0.5 \\ -1 & x\end{array}\right]$ is $\left[\begin{array}{ll}1 & 1 \\ 2 & 4 \end{array}\right]$, then the value of $x$ is

If $A$ is a $3 \times 3$ non-zero matrix such that $A^2 = 0$ then the determinant of $(I + A)^{50} - 50A$ is equal to

Let $A, B, C$ be three $4 \times 4$ matrices such that $det \ A = 5, det \ B = -3$, and $det \ C = \frac{1}{2}$. Then the $det$ $2AB^{-1}C^3B^T$ is
