If a matrix has 36 elements, the number of possible orders it can have, is:
Show Hint
- 13
- 3
- 5
- 9
The Correct Option is D
Solution and Explanation
The factors of 36 are: \[ 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 36. \]
The possible pairs \((m, n)\) are: \[ (1, 36), (36, 1), (2, 18), (18, 2), (3, 12), (12, 3), (4, 9), (9, 4), (6, 6). \] Thus, there are 9 possible orders for the matrix.

Let $ A = \begin{bmatrix} 2 & 2 + p & 2 + p + q \\4 & 6 + 2p & 8 + 3p + 2q \\6 & 12 + 3p & 20 + 6p + 3q \end{bmatrix} $ If $ \text{det}(\text{adj}(\text{adj}(3A))) = 2^m \cdot 3^n, \, m, n \in \mathbb{N}, $ then $ m + n $ is equal to:
- Three students run on a racing track such that their speeds add up to 6 km/h. However, double the speed of the third runner added to the speed of the first results in 7 km/h. If thrice the speed of the first runner is added to the original speeds of the other two, the result is 12 km/h. Using the matrix method, find the original speed of each runner.
- If \( A = \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 0 \\ -1 & 5 \end{bmatrix} \), then find the value of \( K \) if \( A^2 = 6A + K I_2 \), where \( I_2 \) is the identity matrix.
- Find the value of $x$, if \[ \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 3 & 2 \\ 2 & 5 & 1 \\ 15 & 3 & 2 \end{bmatrix} \begin{bmatrix} 1 \\ x \\ 2 \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} 0 \\ 0 \\ 0 \end{bmatrix} \]
- If \( A = \begin{pmatrix} 1 & -1 \\ 2 & 3 \end{pmatrix} \) is a \( 2 \times 2 \) matrix, then the eigenvalues of the matrix \( 2A^2 - 4A + 5I \) are ______, where \( I \) is the \( 2 \times 2 \) unit matrix.
