Question

If a, b and c are integers, then number of matrices A=a    b    cb    c    ac    a    b which are possible such that AAT = I is ___________.

Moderate
Solution

AAT=I a2+b2+c2=1 and ab+bc+ca=0

This is possible when

 (i) a=±1,b=c=0  (ii) a=0,b=±1,c=0  (iii) a=0,b=0,c=±1

So, there are six such matrices A.
