The number of \(3 \times 3\) matrices \(A\) whose entries are either 0 or 1 and for which the system \(A\left[\begin{array}{l}x \\ y \\ z\end{array}\right]=\left[\begin{array}{l}1 \\ 0 \\ 0\end{array}\right]\) has exactly two distinct solutions, is

  1. A
    0
  2. B
    \(2^9-1\)
  3. C
    168
  4. D
    2

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A)
0

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Since, \(A\left[\begin{array}{l}x \\ y \\ z\end{array}\right]=\left[\begin{array}{l}1 \\ 0 \\ 0\end{array}\right]\) is linear equation in three variables and that could have only unique, no solution or infinitely many solution.
\(\therefore\) It is not possible to have two solutions.
Hence, number of matrices \(A\) is zero.
