Question

Let A = where a,b, c, d, e ∈ {0, 1}
then number of such matrix A for which  system of equation AX = 0 have unique solution.

Options

A.16
B.6
C.5
D.none

Solution

|A| ≠ 0
a(ed - 0) + b (0 - ce)
|A| = aed - bce = e (ad - bc) ≠ 0
e = 1 and ad - bc ≠ 0
ad - bc = 1      if    [ad = 1, bc = 0]    Total = 3
ad - bc = -1     if    [ad = 0, bc = 1]    Total = 3
Total = 3 + 3 = 6
