Q33 / 90 · JEE Main 2022 (29 Jun Shift 2) · Mathematics

Let A=2-102. If B=I-C15adj A+C25(adj A)2- ...- C55(adj A)5, then the sum of all elements of the matrix B is:

  • A
    -5
  • B
    -6
  • Correct answer
    C
    -7
  • D
    -8

Solution

Simplifying the given expression we get,B=I-C15adj(A)+C25(adj(A))2-C35(adj(A))3+C45(adj(A))4-C55(adj(A))5

⇒ B=(I-adj(A))5

Now, A=2-102⇒adjA=2102

So, B=-1-10-15

⇒ -B=11015=1501 

⇒B=-1-50-1

Now, sum of elements of matrix B =-1-5-1=-7

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
