JEE Advanced2010MathematicsMatricesActual
The number of 3 3 matrices A whose entries are either 0 or 1 and for which the system A [ array l x y z array ]= [ array l 1 0 0 array ] has exactly two distinct solutions, is
Options
- A0
- B2^9-1
- C168
- D2
Correct answer
A. 0
Step-by-step solution
Since, A [ array l x y z array ]= [ array l 1 0 0 array ] is linear equation in three variables and that could have only unique, no solution or infinitely many solution. It is not possible to have two solutions. Hence, number of matrices A is zero.
