Let S = n ∈ N ,   0 i 1 0 n a b c d = a b c d ∀ a , b , c , d ∈ R , where i = - 1 .…

Let S=nN, 0i10nabcd=abcda,b,c,dR, where i=-1. Then the number of 2- digit numbers in the set S is

Solution

Let X=abcd & A=0i10n

AX=IX

A=I

0i10n=I

A8=1001

n is multiple of 8.

So number of 2 digit numbers in the set 

S=16,24,32,,96

Clearly, 16,24,32,,96 are in arithmetic progression.

Here, a=16, d=24-16=8 and l=a+n-1d=96

Where, a is the first term, d is the common difference, l is the last term and n is the number of terms.

Consider, l=a+n-1d=96

16+n-18=96

n-18=80

n-1=10

n=11

Hence, number of two-digit numbers in set S is 11.
