Q.

Let A=[aij], aijZ[0,4], 1i,j2. The number of matrices A such that the sum of all entries is a prime number p(2,13) is ________ .      [2023]


Ans.

(204)

As given a+b+c+d=3 or 5 or 7 or 11

If sum = 3, then

Coefficient of x3 in (1+x+x2++x4)4 is (1-x5)4(1-x)-4

     C3=C364+3-1=20

If sum = 5, coefficient of x5 is  (1-4x5)(1-x)-4

   C54+5-1-4=C58-4=52

If sum = 7, then coefficient of x7 is  

(1-4x5)(1-x)-4C710-4×C25=80

If sum = 11 

(1-4x5+6x10)(1-x)-4C114+11-1-4C64+6-1+6C14+1-1

=C1114-4 C69+24=364-336+24=52

Total matrices=20+52+80+52=204
