The number of diagonal matrix, `A` or order`n` which `A^3=A` is a. is a a. 1 b. 0 c. `2^n` d. `3^n`

A

1

B

0

C

`2^(n)`

D

`3^(n)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
A= diag `(d_(1), d_(2), .... ,d_(n))`
Given, `A^(3)=A`
`implies` diag `(d_(1)^(3), d_(2)^(3), ...., b_(n)^(3))=` diag `(d_(1), d_(2), ... , d_(n))`
`implies d_(1)^(3)=d_(1), d_(2)^(3)=d_(2),..., d_(n)^(3)=d_(n)`
Hence, all `d_(1), d_(2), d_(3), ..., d_(n)` have three possible values `pm 1, 0`. Each diagonal element can be selected in three ways. Hence, the number of different matrices is `3^(n)`.
