A is the set of all matrices of order 3 with entries 0 or 1 only. \(B\) is the subset of \(A\) consisting of all matrices with determinant value 1. If \(C\) is the subset of \(A\) consisting of all matrices with determinant value -1, then

  1. A \(A=B \cup C\)
  2. B C is empty
  3. C B and C contain the same number of elements
  4. D B has twice as many elements as C
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) B and C contain the same number of elements

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( \text{Let } M \in A \text{ such that } \det(M) = 1 \). Then \( M \in B \). \( \text{Swapping two rows of } M \text{ results in a new matrix } M' \in A \). \( \det(M') = - \det(M) = -1 \). Thus \( M' \in C \). \( \text{This establishes a bijection between the sets B and C} \).…
