Question
Let $A$ be a $2 \times 2$ symmetric matrix such that $A\left[\begin{array}{l}1 \\ 1\end{array}\right]=\left[\begin{array}{l}3 \\ 7\end{array}\right]$ and the determinant of $A$ be $1$.If $A^{-1}=\alpha A+\beta I,$ where $I$ is an identity matrix of order $2 \times 2, $ then $\alpha+\beta$ equals $..........$

Answer

$\begin{aligned} & \text { Let } A=\left[\begin{array}{ll}a & b \\ b & d\end{array}\right] \\ & {\left[\begin{array}{ll}a & b \\ b & d\end{array}\right]\left[\begin{array}{l}1 \\ 1\end{array}\right]=\left[\begin{array}{l}3 \\ 7\end{array}\right], \mathrm{ad}-\mathrm{b}^2=1}\end{aligned}$
$ a+b=3, b+d=7,(3-b)(7-b)-b^2=1 $
$ 21-10 b=1 \rightarrow b=2, a=1, d=5$
$A=\left[\begin{array}{ll}1 & 2 \\ 2 & 5\end{array}\right], A^{-1}=\left[\begin{array}{cc}5 & -2 \\ -2 & 1\end{array}\right]$
$\mathrm{A}^{-1}=\alpha \mathrm{A}+\beta \mathrm{I}$
$\left[\begin{array}{cc}5 & -2 \\ -2 & 1\end{array}\right]=\left[\begin{array}{cc}\alpha+\beta & 2 \alpha \\ 2 \alpha & 5 \alpha+\beta\end{array}\right]$
$\alpha=-1, \beta=6 \rightarrow \alpha+\beta=5$

A farmer $F _1$ has a land in the shape of a triangle with vertices at $P (0,0), Q (1,1)$ and $R (2$, $0)$. From this land, a neighbouring farmer $F_2$ takes away the region which lies between the side $PQ$ and a curve of the form $y = x ^{ n }( n >1)$. If the area of the region taken away by the farmer $F_2$ by the farmer $F_2$ is eaxtly $30 \%$ of the area of $\triangle P Q R$, then the value of $n$ is. . . . . .
