Let A = a i j 2 × 2 , where a ≠ i j 0 for all i , j and A 2 = I , Let a be the sum of all…

Let A=aij2×2, where aij0 for all i,j and A2=I, Let a be the sum of all diagonal elements of A and b=A Then 3a2+4b2 is equal to
  1. 4
  2. 14
  3. 7
  4. 3

Solution

Let,

A=pqrs

A2=pqrspqrs=p2+qrpq+qsrp+rsqr+s2

Now given, A2=I

p2+qrpq+qsrp+rsqr+s2=1001

Now on comparing both side we get,

p2+qr=1, q(p+s)=0

And  r(p+s)=0, qr+s2=1

Now on solving above relation we get,

q0p+s=0a=0

And b=|A|=ps-qr=-p2-qr=-1(s=-p)

3a2+4b2=4
