Let $A = \begin{bmatrix} 2 & -1 & 3 \\ 1 & 2 & -1 \\ 4 & 1 & 2 \end{bmatrix}$. $M_{ij}$ and $A_{ij}$ respectively denote the minor and cofactor of an element $a_{ij}$ of matrix $A = [a_{ij}]$

(A) $M_{22} = 6$

(B) $A_{22} = -8$

(C) $A_{13} = 7$

(D) $M_{32} = -5$

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

If $A = \begin{bmatrix} 2 & -3 & 4 \\ -3 & 5 & x \\ 4 & 3 & 0 \end{bmatrix}$ is a symmetric matrix and $B = \begin{bmatrix} 0 & 2 & -10 \\ -2 & z & 6 \\ y & -6 & 0 \end{bmatrix}$ is a skew-symmetric matrix, then the value of $(xy + yz + zx)$ is

If the system of equation

$x - y + z = 4$

$x - 2y - 2z = 9$

$2x + y + \lambda z = 1$

has a unique solution, then
