Q.

Let A=[115101]. If B=[12-1-1]A[-1-211], then the sum of all the elements of the matrix n=150Bn is equal to          [2023]

1 50  
2 100  
3 75  
4 125  

Ans.

(2)

A=[115101];  B=[12-1-1]A[-1-211]

Let P=[12-1-1],  Q=[-1-211]

B=PAQ

B2=(PAQ)(PAQ)=PAQPAQ=PA2Q

As, QP=[-1-211][12-1-1]=[1001]

A2=[115101][115101]=[125101]

A3=[125101][115101]=[135101]

Similarly, An=[1n5101]

Bn=PAnQ=[12-1-1][1n5101][-1-211]

Bn=[1+n51n51-n511-n51]

n=150Bn=[50+2525-2550-25]=[7525-2525]

Sum of the elements = 100
