If $A = [a_{ij}]_{3 \times 2}$ where $a_{ij} = i + j$, then

(A) A is a square matrix

(B) $a_{21} + a_{32} = 8$

(C) Number of elements in A is 6

(D) Transpose of $A = \begin{bmatrix}2 & 3 \\ 3 & 4 \\ 4 & 5\end{bmatrix}$

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

If $P$, $Q$ and $R$ are three singular matrices given by $P = \begin{bmatrix} 2 & 3a \\ 4 & 3 \end{bmatrix}$, $Q = \begin{bmatrix} b & 5 \\ 2a & 6 \end{bmatrix}$ and $R = \begin{bmatrix} a^2 + b^2 - c & 1 - c \\ c + 1 & c \end{bmatrix}$, then the value of $(2a + 6b + 17c)$ is

If $A = \begin{bmatrix} a & a & a \\ o & a & a \\ o & o & a \end{bmatrix}$, then $|adj A|$ is equal to
