Options
- A26
- B27
- C66
- D23
Correct answer
A. 26
Step-by-step solution
Let, y = P - 1 AP - 2 I ⇒ y = P - 1 AP - 2 P - 1 P ⇒ y = P - 1 I ( A - 2 I ) P ⇒ y = P - 1 I | A - 2 I | | P | We know that, A = 1 A - 1 . ⇒ y = | A - 2 I | ⇒ y = 2 1 2 6 2 11 3 3 2 - 2 0 0 0 2 0 0 0 2 ⇒ y = 0 1 2 6 0 11 3 3 0 ⇒ y = 0 - 0 - 33 + 2 18 - 0 ⇒ y = 69 Now, prime factor of 69 is 3 and 23 . So, sum = 26
