presented.

Q.NO.1
Find the volume of the parallelepiped with one vertex at the origin and adjacent vertices at (1,
0, -3), (1, 2, 4), and (5, 1, 0).

Q.NO.2
Use Cramer’s rule to compute the solution of the following system:

2𝑥 − 𝑦 + 4𝑧 + 𝑡 = −2

3𝑥 + 2𝑦 − 𝑡 = −3

𝑥 + 2𝑦 + 2𝑡 = 10

𝑥 + 𝑦 + 2𝑧 = 2

Q.NO.3
Calculate the value of � for the points (a, 0, 1), (0, 1, 2), (1, 2, 3) and (7, 2, 1) so that they are
coplanar. Also, calculate the equation of the plane that contains them.

Q.NO.4
Let A and B be matrices of order (6 ×6 ¿ such that det ( A B2 ) =72 and
6 ❑
det ( A 2 B2 )=144 . Find det ( 2 A ) and det ⁡( A B ) .
