Q42 / 75 · NTA Abhyas (JEE Main) 2020 · Mathematics · Matrices

Let P=1004101641 and I be the identity matrix of order 3. If Q=qij is a matrix such that P50-Q=I, then the value of q31+q32q21 is equal to

  • A
    52
  • Correct answer
    B
    103
  • C
    201
  • D
    205

Solution

P=1004101641  ⇒P2=10081016+3281

So, P3=100121016+32+48121

Using symmetry, we can write

P50=1002001016.50.5122001

As, P 50 −Q=I⇒Q= P 50 −I=[ 0 0 0 200 0 0 16.50.51 2 200 0 ] ,

q31=16.50.512,  q32=200 and q21=200

∴ q31+q32q21=16.50.512.200+1=102+1=103

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