Q54 / 90 · JEE Main 2021 (17 Mar Shift 2) · Mathematics

Let A=abcd and B=αβ≠00 such that AB=B and a+d=2021, then the value of ad-bc is equal to ______ .

Correct answer: 2020

Solution

Given A=abcd, B=αβ

And, AB=B

⇒(A-I)B=O

⇒(A-I)B=0

⇒(A-I)×B=0

⇒|A-I|=0, since B≠0

⇒(a-1)bc(d-1)=0

⇒a-1d-1-bc=0

⇒ad-a-d+1-bc=0

⇒ad-bc=a+d-1

⇒ad-bc=2021-1=2020.

Hence, the correct answer is 2020.
