The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

Let matrix $M =\left[ k _{ i } j \right]$
Then sum of diagonal entries $=\sum k _{ ij }^{2}$
$\Rightarrow \sum k _{ ij }^{2}=5$
where $k _{ ij }$ are from $\{0,1,2\}$
$\Rightarrow$ Total number of matrices $={ }^{9} C _{5}+{ }^{9} C _{1} \cdot{ }^{8} C _{1}=198$

Matrix:

A matrix is a rectangular array of numbers, variables, symbols, or expressions that are defined for the operations like subtraction, addition, and multiplications. The size of a matrix is determined by the number of rows and columns in the matrix.

The basic operations that can be performed on matrices are:

  1. Addition of Matrices - The addition of matrices addition can only be possible if the number of rows and columns of both the matrices are the same.
  2. Subtraction of Matrices - Matrices subtraction is also possible only if the number of rows and columns of both the matrices are the same.
  3. Scalar Multiplication - The product of a matrix A with any number 'c' is obtained by multiplying every entry of the matrix A by c, is called scalar multiplication. 
  4. Multiplication of Matrices - Matrices multiplication is defined only if the number of columns in the first matrix and rows in the second matrix are equal. 
  5. Transpose of Matrices - Interchanging of rows and columns is known as the transpose of matrices.
