MCQ
Let $S=\left\{A=\left(\begin{array}{lll}0 & 1 & c \\ 1 & a & d \\ 1 & b & e\end{array}\right): a, b, c, d, e \in\{0,1\}\right.$ and $\left.|A| \in\{-1,1\}\right\}$, where $|A|$ denotes the determinant of $A$. Then the number of elements in $S$ is. . . . .
  • A
    $10$
  • B
    $15$
  • $16$
  • D
    $20$

Answer

Correct option: C.
$16$
c
$|A|=0(a e-b d)-1(e-d)+c(b-a)$

$=c(b-a)+(d-e)$

$|A| \in\{-1,1\}$ and $a, b, c, d, e \in\{0,1\}$

Case-$I$

$c =0 \quad d =1, e =0, a , b \in(0,1)$

$d =0, e =1$

$a b b d e$

$2 \downarrow$

$2.21 \quad 2 \rightarrow 8 \text { cases }$

Case-$II$

$c =1 \quad b =1, a =0, \quad d =0, e =0, d =1, e =1$

$b =0, a =1, \quad d =0, e =0, d =1, e =1$

$b =0, a =0, \quad d =1, e =0$

$d =1, a =1, \quad d =1, e =0$

$d =0, e =1$

$\rightarrow 8$ cases

$\rightarrow 8$ cases

$\Rightarrow$ Total $16$ cases
