A=αβγα2β2γ2β+γγ+αα+βR3R3+R1|A|=|α+β+γ|αβγα2β2γ2111|A|=(α+β+γ)(αβ)(βγ)(γα)|adjA|=|A|n1    |adj(adjA)|=|A|(n1)2    |adj(adj(adj(adjA)))|=|A|(n1)4=|A|24=|A|16(α+β+γ)16=232316(α+β+γ)16=22316=(12)16α+β+γ=12α, β, γN(α1)+(β1)+(γ1)=9

number all tuples (α, β, γ)=11C2=55

1 case for α=β=γ

& 12 case when any two of these are equal

So, No. of distinct tuples α, β, γ=55-13=42
