The number of symmetric matrices of order 3, with all the entries from the set is
The number of symmetric matrices of order 3, with all the entries from the set { 0 , 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 ,…
Solution
Given that
We need to find the number of symmetric matrices.
We know that a matrix is symmetric if .
Now can have any digit from to .
Number of ways this can be done is
Now . So number of ways this can be done is .
Similarly , So number of ways this can be done is .
Also, . So number of ways this can be done is .
Total symmetric matrix
Hence this is the correct option.
