Q51 / 90 · JEE Main 2022 (25 Jul Shift 1) · Mathematics

Let A=2-1-110-11-10 and B=A-I. If ω=3i-12, then the number of elements in the set n∈1,2,…,100:An+ωBn=A+B is equal to _____ .

Correct answer: 17

Solution

Given, A=2-1-110-11-10

⇒A2=2-1-110-11-102-1-110-11-10=2-1-110-11-10=A

⇒An=A 

Now ∀n∈1,2,…,100

Now, B=A-I=1-1-11-1-11-1-1

B2=1-1-11-1-11-1-11-1-11-1-11-1-1=-1-1-11-1-11-1-1=-B 

⇒B3=-B2=B 

⇒B5=B 

⇒B99=B

Also, ω3k=1

So, n= common of 1,3,5,…,99 and  3,6,9,…,99=17

Hence, the correct answer is 17.
