Explanation

$A+2B=\begin{bmatrix} 1 & 2 & 0 \ 6 & -3 & 3 \ -5 & 3 & 1 \end{bmatrix}$         .....(i)

$2A-B=\begin{bmatrix} 2 & -1 & 5 \ 2 & -1 & 6 \ 0 & 1 & 2 \end{bmatrix}$         .....(ii)

$\Rightarrow 4A-2B=\begin{bmatrix} 4 & -2 & 10 \ 4 & -2 & 12 \ 0 & 2 & 4 \end{bmatrix}$      ....(iii)

Adding (i) and (iii), we get
$5A=\begin{bmatrix} 5 & 0 & 10 \ 10 & -5 & 15 \ -5 & 5 & 5 \end{bmatrix}$

$\Rightarrow A=\begin{bmatrix} 1 & 0 & 2 \ 2 & -1 & 3 \ -1 & 1 & 1 \end{bmatrix}$
So, $tr(A)=1$

Now, by eq(ii),
$B=\begin{bmatrix} 2 & 0 & 4 \ 4 & -2 & 6 \ -2 & 2 & 2 \end{bmatrix}-\begin{bmatrix} 2 & -1 & 5 \ 2 & -1 & 6 \ 0 & 1 & 2 \end{bmatrix}$

$\Rightarrow B=\begin{bmatrix} 0 & 1 & -1 \ 2 & -1 & 0 \ -2 & 1 & 0 \end{bmatrix}$
So, $tr(B)=-1$
Now, $tr(A)-tr(B)=1+1=2$

Let $A$ be the $2\times2$ matrices given by $A=\left[a _{ij}\right]$ where $a _{ij} = \left{0,1,2,3,4\right}$ such that $a _{11} + a _{12} + a _{21} + a _{22} = 4$
Find the number of matrices $A$ such that the trace of $A$ is equal to 4

C Correct answer
Explanation

Given $tr(A)=4$
$\Rightarrow a _{11}+a _{22}=4$

$a _{ ij }={ { 0,1,2,3,4}  }$

So, diagonal entries of A can be 0 and 4 , 4 and 0, 1 and 3, 3 and 1, 2 and 2,
Hence, 5 matrices are possible

 $P=\left[ \begin{matrix} { 5a }^{ 2 }+2bc & 6 & 8 \ 13 & { 8b }^{ 2 }-10ac & -9 \ -7 & 5 & { 25c }^{ 2 } \end{matrix} \right]$ and $Q=\left[ \begin{matrix} { a }^{ 2 }+6bc & 3 & 5 \ 12 & { -b }^{ 2 } & 6 \ 1 & 4 & { 17bc }^{ 2 } \end{matrix} \right] a,b$ & $c \epsilon N$, if trace $\left(P\right)=trac\left(Q\right)$, and $a,b$ & $C$ are sides of $\Delta ABC$ with $BC=a,CA=b$ & $AB=C$ then $\cos A$ is:

  1. $\dfrac{-79}{120}$
  2. $\dfrac{-89}{120}$
  3. $\dfrac{-33}{40}$
  4. $\dfrac{-31}{40}$
