MCQ
Let $A = \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}
p&{13}\\
{ - 13}&p
\end{array}} \right]$ and $B = \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}
{4q}&{85}\\
{ - 2}&1
\end{array}} \right]$  where  $p,q \in N$. It is given that $\left| A \right| = \left| B \right|$ and  $p,q \in[1,1000]$. Then total number of ordered pairs $(p,q)$ is
  • $31$
  • B
    $35$
  • C
    $41$
  • D
    $23$

Answer

Correct option: A.
$31$
a
$p^{2}+169=4 q+170$

$p^{2}=4 q+1$

Let $\mathrm{p}=(2 \mathrm{k}+1) \Rightarrow \mathrm{q}=\mathrm{k}(\mathrm{k}+1)$

$1 \leq k(k+1) \leq 1000$

Number of possible values are $31 .$
