If $A = \begin{bmatrix} 2 & n \\ 4 & 1 \end{bmatrix}$ such that $A^3 = 27 \begin{bmatrix} 4 & q \\ p & r \end{bmatrix}$, then $p + q + r$ equals _________

Let $M = \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 1 & 1 \\ a & b & c \\ a^2 & b^2 & c^2 \end{bmatrix}$ where $a, b$ and $c$ are real numbers such that $a + b + c = 0$ and $abc \neq 0$. If $\det M = 0$, then the maximum possible value of $\frac{a^2+b^2}{c^2}$ is ___

Suppose $a, b$ and $c$ are integers such that $a>b>c>0$, and $A=\left[\begin{array}{lll}a & b & c \\ b & c & a \\ c & a & b\end{array}\right]$. Then the value of the determinant of $A$ is
