Q39 / 90 · JEE Main 2022 (24 Jun Shift 1) · Mathematics

Let S={n:1⩽n⩽50 and n is odd}. Let a∈S and A=10a-110-a01. If Σa∈SdetadjA=100λ, then λ is equal to

  • A
    218
  • Correct answer
    B
    221
  • C
    663
  • D
    1717

Solution

We know that

Adj A=An-1

Here n is 3×3 matrix

so Adj A=A3-1=A2

Now find A=10a-110-a01

=1+a2

Now Adj A=A2=1+a22

Now 

Σa∈SdetadjA=Σ1+a22=100λ

⇒22+42...+482+502=100λ

⇒412+22...+252=100λ

⇒4×25×26×516=100λ

⇒221=λ

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