The probability that a randomly chosen \(2 \times 2\) matrix with all the entries from the set of first \(10\) primes, is singular, is equal to

  1. A \(\frac{133}{10^{4}}\)
  2. B \(\frac{18}{10^{3}}\)
  3. C \(\frac{19}{10^{3}}\)
  4. D \(\frac{271}{10^{4}}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\frac{19}{10^{3}}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let matrix \(A\) is singular then \(| A |=0\) Number of singular matrix \(=\) All entries are same \(+\) only two prime number are used in matrix \(=10+10 \times 9 \times 2\) \(=190\) Required probability \(=\frac{190}{10^{4}}=\frac{19}{10^{3}}\)
