Q51 / 90 · JEE Main 2022 (24 Jun Shift 2) · Mathematics

Let S=-1a0b;a,b∈1,2,3,…100 and let Tn=A∈S:Ann+1=I. Then the number of elements in ∩n=1100Tn is _____.

Correct answer: 100

Solution

Given,

A=-1a0b

A2=-1a0b-1a0b=1-a+ab0b2

∴Tn=A∈S;Ana+1=I

∴  b must be equal to 1

∴ In this case A2  will become identity matrix and a can take any value from 1 to 100

∴ Total number of common element will be 100.

Hence, the correct answer is 100.
