JEE MAIN - Mathematics (2022 - 25th June Morning Shift - No. 20)

Let A be a 3 $$\times$$ 3 matrix having entries from the set {$$-$$1, 0, 1}. The number of all such matrices A having sum of all the entries equal to 5, is ___________.
Answer
414

Explanation

Case-I:

$\begin{aligned} 1 & \rightarrow 7 \text { times } \\\\ \text { and }-1 & \rightarrow 2 \text { times } \end{aligned}$

number of possible marrix $=\frac{9 !}{7 ! 2 !}=36$

Case-II:

$1 \rightarrow 6$ times,

$-1 \rightarrow 1$ times

and $0 \rightarrow 2$ times

number of possible marrix $=\frac{9 !}{6 ! 2 !}=252$

Case-III:

$ 1 \rightarrow 5$ times,

and $0 \rightarrow 4$ times

number of possible marrix $=\frac{9 !}{5 ! 4 !}=126$

Hence total number of all such matrix $A$ $=414$
