Q46 / 75 · JEE Main 2020 (03 Sep Shift 1) · Mathematics

Let A=x110, x ε R and A4=aij. If a11=109, then a22 is equal to_____________.

Correct answer: 10

Solution

A2=x110×x110=x2+1xx1

A4=x2+1xx1×x2+1xx1=x4+3x2+1x3+2xx3+2xx2+1

Given a11=109⇒x4+3x2+1=109

x2+12x2-9=0⇒x2=9

∴a22=x2+1=10

Hence, the correct answer is 10.
