Solution

The correct option is D 9
Clearly, M is a 3x3 matrix.
Let M=abcdefghi
Since, abcdefghi010=123
So, beh=123
b=1,e=2,h=3
Again, abcdefghi110=111
So, abdegh=111
ab=1,de=1,gh=1
On solving these, we get a=0,d=3,g=2
Again, abcdefghi111=0012
So, a+b+cd+e+fg+h+i=0012
a+b+c=0,d+e+f=0,g+h+i=12
c=1,f=5,i=7
So, a+e+i=0+2+7=9
