Q.

Let  A be the set of all determinants of order 3 with entries 0 or 1 only, B is the subset of  A consisting of all determinants with value 1, and C is the subset consisting of all determinants with value -1. Then if  n(B) and  n(C) denote the number of elements in B and C, respectively, we have

Detailed Solution

Since,  C cannot be the empty set, Hence
 1=|010100001|C
We also have
 |101110011|=2
So  ABC. In general, the determinant
 Δ=|a11a12a13a21a22a23a31a32a33|
 Δ=a11a22a33+a12a23a31+a13a21a32a11a23a32a12a21a33a13a31a22 
With the a's being 0 or 1, equals 1 only if  a11a22a33=1 and the remaining terms are zero; if  a12a23a31=1 and the remaining terms are zero; or if  a13a21a32=1 and the remaining terms are zero. Since there are three similar relations for determinants that equal  -1, we must have n(B)=n(C)
