Q29 / 51 · JEE Advanced 2023 (Paper 2) · Mathematics

Let R=a3bc2d050:a,b,c,d∈0,3,5,7,11,13,17,19. Then the number of invertible matrices in R is

Correct answer: 3780

Solution

Given,

R=a3bc2d050

⇒|R|=-5abcd

We know that, for invertible matrices R≠0

Now |R| can be zero in following cases:

(i) Two of a, b, c, d are zeroes which can be (a and b),(b and d),(d and c) or (c and a)

→4×72 ways =196

(ii) Any three of a, b, c, d are zeroes

→C34×7=28

(iii) All four of a, b, c, d are zeroes

→1

(iv) All four of a, b, c, d are non-zero but same number

→7

(v) When two are alike and 2 other are alike (non-zero)

→7C2×2×2=84

Number of invertible matrices

=84-196-28-1-7-84=3780

Hence, the correct answer is 3780.
