Q45 / 90 · JEE Main 2024 (29 Jan Shift 2) · Mathematics

Let A=2126211332 and P=120502715. The sum of the prime factors of P-1AP-2I is equal to

  • Correct answer
    A
    26
  • B
    27
  • C
    66
  • D
    23

Solution

Let, y=P-1AP-2I

⇒y=P-1AP-2P-1P

⇒y=P-1I( A-2I)P

⇒y=P-1I|A-2I||P|

We know that, A=1A-1.

⇒y=|A-2I|

⇒y=2126211332-200020002

⇒y=0126011330

⇒y=0-0-33+218-0

⇒y=69

Now, prime factor of 69 is 3 and 23.

So, sum =26

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