JEE Advance - Mathematics (2009 - Paper 1 Offline - No. 18)
The number of matrices in A is
12
6
9
3
Explanation
Here,
Matrix [A]3 × 3 is symmetric
Here, 5 be the number of 1’s and 4 be the 0’s entry in matrix A
Let x be the number of 1’s on main diagonal.
Since A is symmetric so, y be the number of 1’s below the main diagonal
So , x + 2y = 5
x = 1 and y = 2
or x = 3 and y = 1
Case I : x = 1 and y = 2
Here, Main diagonal entries in 0, 0 and 1. Hence, we can choose main diagonal in 3 ways, and element above the diagonal is 1, 1, 0 . Hence, we can choose it element above the main diagonal in 3 ways , element of below diagonal depends on above the main diagonal.
Hence, total way = 3 × 3 = 9
Case II : x = 3 and y = 1
Here, Main diagonal entries in 1, 1 and 1.
Hence, we can choose main diagonal 1 ways and element above the diagonal is 1, 0, 0. Hence, we can choose it element above the main diagonal in 3 ways, element of below diagonal depends on above the main diagonal.
Hence, total ways = 3 × 4 = 12
So, Total matrices = 9 + 3 = 12
