Which of the following are correct?

(A) $A=\begin{bmatrix}-9 & 4 & -3\\-1 & 0 & 4\\2 & 2 & 0\end{bmatrix}$ ; $a_{22}+a_{32}=-9$ where $a_{ij}$ denotes the $(i,j)^{th}$ element of matrix A.

(B) $A=\begin{bmatrix}2 & -2\\-2 & 2\end{bmatrix}$; $A^2=pA$, then $p=4$

(C) $\begin{bmatrix}8 & 6\\6 & 16\end{bmatrix}$ is a symmetric matrix

(D) $\begin{bmatrix}0 & -5 & 3\\5 & 0 & -7\\-3 & 7 & 0\end{bmatrix}$ is a symmetric matrix

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Let $\begin{vmatrix} 3x & -7 \\ 1 & 4 \end{vmatrix} = \begin{vmatrix} 3 & 2 \\ 4 & x \end{vmatrix}$, then value of $x$ is :

Let $A=[a_{ij}]$ be a matrix of order $3 \times 4$ such that $a_{ij}=\begin{cases}2i-3j, & i \ge j \\ 3i+j, & i<j\end{cases}$ then the sum of all the elements of the first two rows of this matrix is:
