A=a    bc    d

Given A=A1

A2=AA1=Iabcdabcd=1001a2+bcab+bdac+cdbc+d2=1001 a2+bc=1              ...(1)     ab+bd=0              ...(2)     ac+cd=0              ...(3)     bc+d2=1              ...(4)

(1) – (4) gives

a2d2=0(a+d)=0 or ad=0

Case – I

a+d=0    (a, d)=(1, 1), (0, 0), (1, 1) (a)   (a, d)=(1, 1)   from equation (1)  1+bc=1   bc=0 b = 0   C = 12 possibilities c = 0    b = 12 possibilities but (0, 0) is repeated 2×12=24 24  1 (repeated) = 23 pairs  (b)   (a,d)=(1, 1)  bc=023 (c)   (a,d)=(0, 0)      bc=1 (b, c)=(1, 1) & (1, 1), 2 pairs 

Case – II

a=d

from (2) and (3)

a0 then b=c=0a2=1a=±1=d(a, d)=(1, 1), (1, 1)2 pairs  Total =23+23+2+2               =50 pairs
