Use the properties of transpose of a matrix
Given, XTAX=0 and a23=1008  
Let A be any 3×3 square matrix, such that A=[a11a12a13a21a22a23a31a32a33] 
Then XTAX=(XTAX)T=XTATX=XTAXXTAX=0 
Therefore, XTATX=XTAX 
 AT=A
a23=a32  Or a32=a23
 a32=(1008)=1008
 Therefore , the sum of digits =1+0+0+8=9 
Hence, the sum of digits of a32 is 9
