The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

1. For (P): 

  • The matrix M = (aij)3×3 has entries in T = {α, β} such that row sums (Ri) and column sums (Cj) are zero for all i, j.
  • Since each row and column sum to zero, there are exactly 12 matrices that satisfy these constraints.

(P) → (2).

2. For (Q):

  • The matrix M is symmetric, meaning aij = aji, and has entries in T = {α, β}.
  • Additionally, column sums (Cj) are zero for all j.
  • The number of symmetric matrices satisfying these conditions is exactly 6.

(Q) → (4).

3. For (R):

  • The matrix M = (aij)3×3 is skew-symmetric, meaning aij = -aji for all i, j.
  • The entries aij belong to T for i > j.
  • Since the diagonal elements in a skew-symmetric matrix are always zero and off-diagonal elements can be freely chosen from T, there are infinitely many possible matrices.

(R) → (3).

4. For (S):

  • The matrix M = (aij)3×3 has entries in T = {α, β} and satisfies the row sum constraint (Ri = 0) for all i.
  • Since each row sum is zero, the rows are linearly dependent, meaning the determinant of M must be zero.
  • Absolute value of determinant: 0.

(S) → (5).

Final Answer:

(P) → (2), (Q) → (4), (R) → (3), (S) → (5)
