Question

Let A=207010121 and B=x14x7x010x4x2x are two matrices such that AB=(AB)1 and ABI (where I is an identity matrix of order 3×3).
Find the value of Tr.(AB+(AB)2+(AB)3+...+(AB)100) where Tr.(A) denotes the trace of matrix A.

Solution

The correct option is C 100
A=207010121 and B=x14x7x010x4x2x
AB=207010121x14x7x010x4x2x=5x14x0010010x25x
but,AB=(AB)1(AB)2=I
(AB)2=5x14x0010010x25x5x14x0010010x25x=25x270x2+14x00100(5x+1)(10x2)25x2=100010001
x=15
Tr.(AB+(AB)2+(AB)3+...+(AB)100)=Tr.(AB+I+(AB)+...+I)
tr(AB)=10x+1=1 and tr(I)=3
Tr.(AB+I+(AB)+...+I)=(1+31+3......+3)=50(31)=100
Hence, option C.
