Which of the following is not correct?
  1. $|\text{A}|=|\text{A}^{\text{T}}|,$ where $\text{A}=[\text{a}_{\text{ij}}]_{3\times3}$
  2. $|\text{kA}|=|\text{k}^3|,$ where $\text{A}=[\text{a}_{\text{ij}}]_{3\times3}$
  3. If a is a skew-symmetric of odd order, then |A| = 0
  4. $\begin{vmatrix}\text{a}&\text{c}\\\text{e}&\text{g} \end{vmatrix}+\begin{vmatrix}\text{b}&\text{c}\\\text{f}&\text{g} \end{vmatrix}+\begin{vmatrix}\text{a}&\text{d}\\\text{e}&\text{h}\end{vmatrix}+\begin{vmatrix}\text{b}&\text{d}\\\text{f}&\text{h}\end{vmatrix}$

An automobile company uses three types of steel $S_1, S_2$ and $S_3$ for producing three types of cars $C_1, C_{2 }$ and $C_3.$ Steel requirements $($in tons$)$ for each type of cars are given below:
Steel
Cars
 
$C_1$ $C_2$ $C_3$
$S_1$ $2$ $3$ $4$
$S_2$ $1$ $1$ $2$
$S_3$ $3$ $2$ $1$
Using Cramer's rule, find the number of cars of each type which can be produced using $29, 13$ and $16$ tons of steel of three types respectively.
