LetR=x000y000zbe a non-zero3×3matrix, wherexsinθ=ysinθ+2π3=zsinθ+4π30,θ(0,2π). For a square matrixM, let TraceMdenote the sum of all the diagonal entries ofM.Then, among the statements:
ITrace(R)=0
(II)If Trace(adj(adj(R))=0, thenRhas exactly one non-zero entry.

Options:

Answer:
C
Solution:

Given,

xsinθ=ysinθ+2π3=zsinθ+4π30

y=xsinθsinθ+2π3, z=xsinθsinθ+4π3

Now, finding the trace of matrix we get,

x+y+z=x+xsinθsinθ+2π3+xsinθsinθ+4π3

x+y+z=xsinθ+2π3sinθ+4π3+xsinθsinθ+4π3+xsinθsinθ+2π3sinθ+2π3sinθ+4π3

x+y+z=xsinθ+2π3sinθ+4π3+xsinθsinθ+4π3+sinθ+2π3sinθ+2π3sinθ+4π3

x+y+z=x2·2sinθ+2π3sinθ+4π3+xsinθ2sinθ+πcosπ3sinθ+2π3sinθ+4π3

x+y+z=x2·cos2π3-cos2θ+2π+xsinθ-2sinθ·12sinθ+2π3sinθ+4π3

x+y+z=x2·-12-cos2θ-xsin2θsinθ+2π3sinθ+4π3

x+y+z=-x-2xcos2θ-4xsin2θ4sinθ+2π3sinθ+4π3

x+y+z=-x-2x1-2sin2θ-4xsin2θ4sinθ+2π3sinθ+4π3

x+y+z=-3x+4xsin2θ-4xsin2θ4sinθ+2π3sinθ+4π3

x+y+z=-3x4sinθ+2π3sinθ+4π30

I Trace (R)=x+y+z0

  Statement (i) is False

Now, finding Adj(Adj(R))

Now, using the property Adj(Adj(R))=R|R| we get,

Trace (Adj(Adj(R)))=xyz(x+y+z)0

{As x+y+z0 proved above and x,y & z are non zero}

Hence, Trace(adj(adj(R))=0 is a false statement,

So, neither I nor II are true
