QJEEM22Ma9991: JEE Main 2022 Mathematics - Class 12 JEEM22Ma9991 Solution: Let S = { ( − 1 a 0 b ) ; a , b ∈ { 1 , 2 , 3 , . . . .100 } }…

Let S={(−1a0b);a,b∈{1,2,3,....100}} and let Tn={A∈S:An(n+1)=I}. Then the number of elements in ⋂n=1100Tn is ___________.

Step-by-Step Verified Solution

A=[−1a0 b]A2=[−1a0 b][−1a0 b]=[1−a+ab0 b2]∴Tn={A∈S;An(n+1)=I}

∴\therefore b must be equal to 1

∴\therefore In this case A2\mathrm{A}^2 will become identity matrix and a can take any value from 1 to 100

∴\therefore Total number of common element will be 100 .
