Q.

Let S be the sample space of all 3x3 matrices with the entries from the set {0,1}. Let the events  E1and E2 be given by  E1= {AS : detA = 0 } and E2= {AS : sum of the entries of A is 7}
If the matrix is chosen at random from S, then which of the following is correct?

Given sample space (S) of all 3 x 3 matrices with entries From the set  {0,1} and events 
 E1={AS:det(A)=0}  and  E2={AS:sumofentriesofAis7}.
For event  E2, means sum of entries of matrix A is 7,
Then we need seven 1s and two 0s.
   Number of different possible matrices =9!7!2!n(E2)=36 
        
For event  E1, |A| = 0, both the zeros must be in same row/column.
  Number of matrices such that their determinant is zero =6×3!2!=18=n(E1E2)
