Let S = { n : 1 ⩽ n ⩽ 50 and n is odd}. Let a ∈ S and A = 1 0 a - 1 1 0 - a 0 1 . If…

Let S={n:1n50 and n is odd}. Let aS and A=10a-110-a01. If ΣaSdetadjA=100λ, then λ is equal to
  1. 218
  2. 221
  3. 663
  4. 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 

ΣaSdetadjA=Σ1+a22=100λ

22+42...+482+502=100λ

412+22...+252=100λ

4×25×26×516=100λ

221=λ
