The absolute value of matrix R is negative 5, and the absolute value of matrix P is also negative 5. The determinant ∣R∣ can be equal to zero in the following cases:
(i) Two of the values a, b, c, d are zeros, which can be (a and b), (b and d), (d and c), or (c and a) \(→\) 4 × 72 ways = 196.
(ii) Any three of the values a, b, c, d are zeros \(→\) 4C3×7=28.
(iii) All four of the values a, b, c, d are zeros \(→\) 1.
(iv) All four of the values a, b, c, d are non-zero but the same number \(→\) 7.
(v) When two are alike and the other two are alike (non-zero) \(→\) 7C2×2×2=84.
The number of invertible matrices = 84 – 196 – 28 – 1 – 7 – 84 = 3780.
So, the answer is 3780.
Given :
Total matrices = 84 = 4096
|R| = 5(bc – ad)
No. of non-invertible matrices : bc = ad
Case I :
If a, b, c, d ≠ 0, then cases = 7C2 . 2! 2! + 7C1(1) = 91
Case II :
if ad = bc = 0, then cases = 15C1 . 15C1 = 225
( ad & bc can take any combination from 0 × 0, 0 × 3, 0 × 5, ……, 0 × 19, 3 × 0, 5 × 0, ….. 19 × 0)
Number of invertible matrices :
= 4096 – (91 + 225)
= 3780
So, the correct answer is 3780.
Let the position vectors of the points P, Q, R and S be

respectively. Then which of the following statements is true?
The reaction sequence given below is carried out with 16 moles of X. The yield of the major product in each step is given below the product in parentheses. The amount (in grams) of S produced is ____. 
Use: Atomic mass (in amu): H = 1, C = 12, O = 16, Br = 80
Let $ a_0, a_1, ..., a_{23} $ be real numbers such that $$ \left(1 + \frac{2}{5}x \right)^{23} = \sum_{i=0}^{23} a_i x^i $$ for every real number $ x $. Let $ a_r $ be the largest among the numbers $ a_j $ for $ 0 \leq j \leq 23 $. Then the value of $ r $ is ________.
Let $ \mathbb{R} $ denote the set of all real numbers. Then the area of the region $$ \left\{ (x, y) \in \mathbb{R} \times \mathbb{R} : x > 0, y > \frac{1}{x},\ 5x - 4y - 1 > 0,\ 4x + 4y - 17 < 0 \right\} $$ is
The center of a disk of radius $ r $ and mass $ m $ is attached to a spring of spring constant $ k $, inside a ring of radius $ R>r $ as shown in the figure. The other end of the spring is attached on the periphery of the ring. Both the ring and the disk are in the same vertical plane. The disk can only roll along the inside periphery of the ring, without slipping. The spring can only be stretched or compressed along the periphery of the ring, following Hooke’s law. In equilibrium, the disk is at the bottom of the ring. Assuming small displacement of the disc, the time period of oscillation of center of mass of the disk is written as $ T = \frac{2\pi}{\omega} $. The correct expression for $ \omega $ is ( $ g $ is the acceleration due to gravity): 
The graph of a linear inequality in one variable is a number line. We can use an open circle for < and > and a closed circle for ≤ and ≥.

Inequalities that have the same solution are commonly known as equivalents. There are several properties of inequalities as well as the properties of equality. All the properties below are also true for inequalities including ≥ and ≤.
The addition property of inequality says that adding the same number to each side of the inequality gives an equivalent inequality.
If x>y, then x+z>y+z If x>y, then x+z>y+z
If x<y, then x+z<y+z If x<y, then x+z<y+z
The subtraction property of inequality tells us that subtracting the same number from both sides of an inequality produces an equivalent inequality.
If x>y, then x−z>y−z If x>y, then x−z>y−z
If x<y, then x−z<y−z Ifx<y, then x−z<y−z
The multiplication property of inequality tells us that multiplication on both sides of an inequality with a positive number gives an equivalent inequality.
If x>y and z>0, then xz>yz If x>y and z>0, then xz>yz
If x<y and z>0, then xz<yz If x<y and z>0,then xz<yz
