Let S be the set containing all 3 × 3 matrices with entries from {-1, 0, 1}. The total number of matrices A ∈ S such that the sum of all the diagonal elements of AT A is 6 is ________.
Correct Answer: 5376
Solution and Explanation
The correct answer is 5376
Sum of all diagonal elements is equal to sum of square of each element of the matrix.
\(i.e., A =\) \(\begin{bmatrix} a_1 & a_2 & a_3 \\ b_1 & b_2 & b_3 \\ c_1 & c_2 & c_3 \\ \end{bmatrix}\)
then \(t_r(A.A^T)\)
\(= a^{2}_{1}+a^{2}_{2}+a^{2}_{3}+b^{2}_{1}+b^{2}_{2}+b^{2}_{3}+c^{2}_{1}+c^{2}_{2}+c^{2}_{3}\)
\(∵ a_i, b_i, c_i ∈{-1,0,1} \)for \(i = 1,2,3\)
∴ Exactly three of them are zero and rest are 1 or – 1.

- Let \( A = \begin{bmatrix} 1 & -2 & -1 \\ 0 & 4 & -1 \\ -3 & 2 & 1 \end{bmatrix}, B = \begin{bmatrix} -5 \\ -2 \end{bmatrix}, C = [9 \ \ 7], \) which of the following is defined?
- If \[ \begin{bmatrix} 4 + x & x - 1 \\ -2 & 3 \end{bmatrix} \] is a singular matrix, then the value of \( x \) is:
If \[ A = \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 2 & 0 \\ -2 & -1 & -2 \\ 0 & -1 & 1 \end{bmatrix} \] then find \( A^{-1} \). Hence, solve the system of linear equations: \[ x - 2y = 10, \] \[ 2x - y - z = 8, \] \[ -2y + z = 7. \]
- Find x, y, z if
\[ \begin{bmatrix} 5 & 1 & 0 \\ 1 & 1 & 1 \end{bmatrix} \begin{bmatrix} 0 & 1 & -2 \\ 1 & -2 & 3 \\ -1 & 1 & 1 \end{bmatrix} \begin{bmatrix} x-1 \\ y+1 \\ 2z \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} 2 \\ 1 \end{bmatrix}. \] - Solve the following equations by the method of inversion: \( 2x-y+z=1 \), \( x+2y+3z=8 \), \( 3x+y-4z=1 \).

Concepts Used:
Matrices
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:
- 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.
- Subtraction of Matrices - Matrices subtraction is also possible only if the number of rows and columns of both the matrices are the same.
- 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.
- 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.
- Transpose of Matrices - Interchanging of rows and columns is known as the transpose of matrices.
