Let S = - 1 a 0 b ; a , b ∈ 1 , 2 , 3 , … 100 and let T n = A ∈ S : A n n + 1 = I . Then…

Let S=-1a0b;a,b1,2,3,100 and let Tn=AS:Ann+1=I. Then the number of elements in n=1100Tn is _____.

Solution

Given,

A=-1a0b

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

Tn=AS;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.
