Solution

The correct option is C 0
Let A=a1a2a3b1b2b3c1c2c3
where these elements are 0 or 1.
Given Axyz=100
a1a2a3b1b2b3c1c2c3xyz=100
a1x+a2y+a3zb1x+b2y+b3zc1x+c2y+c3z=100
a1x+a2y+a3z=0
b1x+b2y+b3z=0
c1x+c2y+c3z=0
b1=b2=b3=c1=c2=c3=0
a1x+a2y+a3z=0
This cannot have exactly two distinct solutions , i.e. not possible .
Hence, there is no such A matrix.
