Consider the system of equation $x+y+3z=8$, $2x+y+bz=24$, $x+ay+3z=10$, then which of the following statements are True?

(A) The system of equations has a unique solution if $a=2, b=3$

(B) The system of equations is inconsistent if $a=1, b \in R$ be any real number.

(C) The system of equations is inconsistent if $a \neq 1$, and $b \neq 6$

(D) The system of equations has a unique solution if $a=4$ and $b=3$.

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

If $\Delta$ represents the value of the determinant $\begin{vmatrix} 1 & \sin k\theta & 1 \\ -\sin k\theta & 1 & \sin k\theta \\ -1 & -\sin k\theta & 1 \end{vmatrix}$, where $k$ is any real number then the value of $\Delta$ belongs to

The sum of the products of elements of any row with the cofactors of corresponding elements is equal to :

Let A be a square matrix of order 3 such that $|A|=3$, then the value of $\frac{|adj(adjA)|}{|A|}$ is

If $A = \begin{bmatrix} 5 & 3 \\ 2 & 4 \end{bmatrix}$, then the matrix $A^2 - 6A + 14$ I is (where I is an identity matrix of order 2)

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
