Given $\omega$ is a cube root of unity and $x+ y + z = a, x + \omega y + \omega^2 z = b, x + \omega^2 y + \omega z = c$.

$f(x) = ax^2 + bx + c; a, b, c \in  R$ and equation $f(x)- x = 0$ has imaginary roots $\alpha, \beta$ and $\gamma, \delta$ be the roots of $f(f(x)) - x = 0$
since $\alpha,\beta$ are roots of $f(x)- x = 0$
$f(\alpha)-\alpha =0$ $\Rightarrow f(\alpha)=\alpha$
$f(\beta)-\beta=0$ $\Rightarrow f(\beta)=\beta$
$f(f(\alpha))-\alpha = f(\alpha)-\alpha =0$
$f(f(\beta))-\beta = f(\beta)-\beta =0$
$\therefore  \alpha,\beta$ are also roots of $f(f(x)) - x = 0$ ------(*)
$f(x)- x= ax^2+(b-1)x+c=0$
roots are imaginary.
i.e $\alpha,\beta$ are conjugate to each other and $D<0$
$\Rightarrow (b-1)^2-4ac<0$ -------(1)
$f(f(x)) - x = a(ax^2+bx+c)^2+b(ax^2+bx+c)+c-x=0$
$\Rightarrow \left(ax^2+(b-1)x+c\right)\left(a^2x^2+(ab+a)x+ac+b+1\right)=0$
$D=(ab+a)^2-4a^2(ac+b+1) = a^2\left((b-1)^2-4ac\right)-4a^2<0$    ($\because$ from (1))
$\therefore \gamma,\delta$ are also imaginary roots and conjugate to each other.
$\begin{vmatrix} 2 & \alpha & \delta\ \beta & 0 & \alpha\ \gamma & \beta & 1\end{vmatrix} $ $= -3\alpha\beta+\alpha^2\gamma+\beta^2\delta$ ------ (2)
$\alpha\beta$ is real
$\alpha^2\gamma$ is conjugate to $\beta^2\delta$
$\Rightarrow \alpha^2\gamma+\beta^2\delta$ is real
from (2)
$\therefore \begin{vmatrix} 2 & \alpha & \delta\ \beta & 0 & \alpha\ \gamma & \beta & 1\end{vmatrix} $ is purely real.
Hence, option B.

Given $x+y+z=a $...(i)

For the solution of the system of equations
$x - 2y + 3z = -1$
$-x + y - 2z = 2$
$kx - 3y + 4z = 1$, 
$\begin{bmatrix}
1 &-2  &3 \ 
-1 &1  &-2 \ 
k &-3  &4 
\end{bmatrix} 
$
If determinant of the matrix is zero than the given lines are coplanar and if the determinant is non zero the they are non co-planar.
The solution for the system of equations exist when the lines are coplanar.
Hence, $1(-2 - 4k) - 3(-1 - k) -1(-4 + 2) \neq 0$
$\Rightarrow -2 - 4k + 3 + 3k + 2 \neq 0$
i.e. $k \neq 3$

$\begin{vmatrix} 1+\sin ^{ 2 } \theta  & \cos ^{ 2 } \theta  & 4\sin  6\theta  \ \sin ^{ 2 } \theta  & 1+\cos ^{ 2 } \theta  & 4\sin  6\theta  \ \sin ^{ 2 } \theta  & \cos ^{ 2 } \theta  & 1+4\sin  6\theta  \end{vmatrix}=0$

Applying $\displaystyle R _{1}\rightarrow R _{1}+R _{2}+R _{3}$ and taking $\displaystyle a+b+c-x $ common from the first row, we obtain
$\displaystyle \Delta =\left ( a+b+c-x \right )\begin{vmatrix}
1 &1  &1 \ 
c &b-x  &a \ 
b &a  &c-x 
\end{vmatrix}$
Applying  $\displaystyle C _{2}\rightarrow C _{2}-C _{1}$ and $\displaystyle C _{3}\rightarrow C _{3}-C _{1}$ we obtain
$\displaystyle \Delta =\begin{vmatrix}
1 &0  &0 \ 
c &b-c-x  &a-c \ 
b &a-b  &c-b-x 
\end{vmatrix}\left [ \because a+b+c=0 \right ]$
Expanding along $\displaystyle R _{1}$ we get
$\displaystyle \Delta =x\left [ \left ( b-c-x \right )\left (c-b-x  \right )-\left ( a-b \right )\left ( a-c \right ) \right ] $
$\displaystyle \Delta =x\left [ \left ( a-b \right )\left (a-c  \right )-\left ( x+b-c\right )\left ( x-b+c \right ) \right ] $
$\displaystyle  =x\left [ a^{2}-ab-ac+bc-x^{2}+b^{2}+c^{2}-2bc \right ]$
$\displaystyle \Delta =x\left [ a^{2}+b^{2}+c^{2}-bc-ab-ac-x^{2} \right ]$
$\displaystyle \Delta =0$ implies $\displaystyle x =0$ or $\displaystyle x^{2}=a^{2}+b^{2}+c^{2}-bc-ab-ac$
Now $\displaystyle x^{2}=a^{2}+b^{2}+c^{2}-bc-ab-ac$
$\displaystyle =a^{2}+b^{2}+c^{2}-\frac{1}{2}\left [ \left ( a+b+c \right )^{2}- a^{2}-b^{2}-c^{2} \right ]$
$\displaystyle =\frac{3}{2}\left ( a^{2}+b^{2}+c^{2} \right )\left [ \because a+b+c=0 \right ]$
$\displaystyle \Rightarrow x= \pm \sqrt{\frac{3}{2}\left ( a^{2}+b^{2}+c^{2} \right )}$

$D=\begin{vmatrix}1 &1  &1 \ 2 & 2 & 2\ 3 & 3 & 3\end{vmatrix}=0$
$D _1=0,$     $D _2=0$,      $D _3=0$
Let $z=t$
$x+y=1-t$
$2x+2y=3-2t$
Since both the lines are parallel hence no value of x and y
Hence there is no solution of the given equations.

We find $D = 0$, where $D$ is the determinant formed by the coefficients of $x,\ y,\ z$ in the three equations and since no pair of planes are parallel, so there is an infinite number of solutions.
Let $\alpha P _{1} + \lambda P _{2} = P _{3}$
$\Rightarrow P _{1} + 7P _{2} = 13P _{3}$
$\Rightarrow b _{1} + 7b _{2} = 13b _{3}$
(A) $D\neq 0\Rightarrow$ unique solution for any $b _{1}, b _{2}, b _{3}$
(B) $D = 0$ but $P _{1} + 7P _{2} \neq 13P _{3}$
(C) $D = 0$ Also $b _{2} = -2b _{1}, b _{3} = -b _{1}$
Satisfied $b _{1} + 7b _{2} = 13b _{3}$ (Actually all three planes are co-incident)
(D) $D\neq 0$.
