Correct answer: A, B, D

Let the given matrix be A=[213 102 321 ]A = \left[ {\begin{matrix} 2 & 1 & 3 \ 1 & 0 & 2 \ 3 & 2 & 1 \ \end{matrix} } \right]A=[2​1​3 1​0​2 3​2​1 ​]. We can observe that A is a symmetric matrix, i.e., AT=AA^T = AAT=A. The matrices PkP_kPk​ are the six 3x3 permutation matrices. A key property of permutation matrices is that they are orthogonal, meaning PkPkT=PkTPk=IP_k P_k^T = P_k^T P_k = IPk​PkT​=PkT​Pk​=I, where III is the identity matrix.

The matrix X is defined as X=∑k=16PkAPkTX = \sum\limits_{k = 1}^6 {{P_k}} A P_k^TX=k=1∑6​Pk​APkT​

We will evaluate each option step-by-step.

Option A: X is a symmetric matrix

  1. To check if X is symmetric, we need to compute its transpose, XTX^TXT. XT=(∑k=16PkAPkT)TX^T = {\left( {\sum\limits_{k = 1}^6 {{P_k}A P_k^T} } \right)^T}XT=(k=1∑6​Pk​APkT​)T
  2. Using the property (A+B)T=AT+BT(A+B)^T = A^T+B^T(A+B)T=AT+BT and (ABC)T=CTBTAT(ABC)^T = C^T B^T A^T(ABC)T=CTBTAT, we get: X^T = \sum\limits_{k = 1}^6 {{{\left( {{P_k}A P_k^T} \right)}^T}} = \sum\limits_{k = 1}^6 {{{\left( {P_k^T} \right)}^T}{A^T}P_k^T}}
  3. We know that (PkT)T=Pk(P_k^T)^T = P_k(PkT​)T=Pk​ and the given matrix A is symmetric (AT=AA^T = AAT=A). Substituting these into the expression for XTX^TXT: XT=∑k=16PkAPkT=XX^T = \sum\limits_{k = 1}^6 {{P_k}A P_k^T} = XXT=k=1∑6​Pk​APkT​=X
  4. Since XT=XX^T = XXT=X, the matrix X is symmetric. Thus, option A is correct.

Option B: The sum of diagonal entries of X is 18

  1. The sum of diagonal entries of a matrix is its trace, denoted by Tr(). We need to calculate Tr(X). Tr(X)=Tr(∑k=16PkAPkT)=∑k=16Tr(PkAPkT)Tr(X) = Tr\left( {\sum\limits_{k = 1}^6 {{P_k}A P_k^T} } \right) = \sum\limits_{k = 1}^6 {Tr({P_k}A P_k^T)} Tr(X)=Tr(k=1∑6​Pk​APkT​)=k=1∑6​Tr(Pk​APkT​)
  2. Using the cyclic property of the trace, Tr(ABC)=Tr(BCA)Tr(ABC) = Tr(BCA)Tr(ABC)=Tr(BCA), we have: Tr(PkAPkT)=Tr(APkTPk)Tr({P_k}A P_k^T) = Tr(A P_k^T {P_k})Tr(Pk​APkT​)=Tr(APkT​Pk​)
  3. Since PkP_kPk​ are permutation matrices, they are orthogonal, so PkTPk=IP_k^T P_k = IPkT​Pk​=I. Tr(APkTPk)=Tr(AI)=Tr(A)Tr(A P_k^T {P_k}) = Tr(AI) = Tr(A)Tr(APkT​Pk​)=Tr(AI)=Tr(A)
  4. The trace of A is the sum of its diagonal elements: Tr(A)=2+0+1=3Tr(A) = 2 + 0 + 1 = 3Tr(A)=2+0+1=3.
  5. Now we can find the trace of X: Tr(X)=∑k=16Tr(A)=6×Tr(A)=6×3=18Tr(X) = \sum\limits_{k = 1}^6 {Tr(A)} = 6 \times Tr(A) = 6 \times 3 = 18Tr(X)=k=1∑6​Tr(A)=6×Tr(A)=6×3=18
  6. The sum of diagonal entries of X is 18. Thus, option B is correct.

Option D: If X[1 1 1 ]=α[1 1 1 ]X\left[ {\begin{matrix} 1 \ 1 \ 1 \ \end{matrix} } \right] = \alpha \left[ {\begin{matrix} 1 \ 1 \ 1 \ \end{matrix} } \right]X[1 1 1 ​]=α[1 1 1 ​], then α=30\alpha = 30α=30

  1. Let v=[1 1 1 ]v = \left[ {\begin{matrix} 1 \ 1 \ 1 \ \end{matrix} } \right]v=[1 1 1 ​]. The equation is Xv=αvXv = \alpha vXv=αv. This means vvv is an eigenvector of X with eigenvalue α\alphaα. Xv=(∑k=16PkAPkT)v=∑k=16PkAPkTvXv = \left( {\sum\limits_{k = 1}^6 {{P_k}A P_k^T} } \right)v = \sum\limits_{k = 1}^6 {{P_k}A P_k^T v} Xv=(k=1∑6​Pk​APkT​)v=k=1∑6​Pk​APkT​v
  2. A permutation matrix PkP_kPk​ acting on a vector permutes its components. For the vector vvv, all components are 1, so any permutation of its components results in the same vector vvv. Therefore, PkTv=vP_k^T v = vPkT​v=v for all kkk. Xv=∑k=16PkAvXv = \sum\limits_{k = 1}^6 {{P_k}A v} Xv=k=1∑6​Pk​Av
  3. First, let's calculate AvAvAv: Av=[213 102 321 ][1 1 1 ]=[2+1+3 1+0+2 3+2+1 ]=[6 3 6 ]Av = \left[ {\begin{matrix} 2 & 1 & 3 \ 1 & 0 & 2 \ 3 & 2 & 1 \ \end{matrix} } \right]\left[ {\begin{matrix} 1 \ 1 \ 1 \ \end{matrix} } \right] = \left[ {\begin{matrix} {2 + 1 + 3} \ {1 + 0 + 2} \ {3 + 2 + 1} \ \end{matrix} } \right] = \left[ {\begin{matrix} 6 \ 3 \ 6 \ \end{matrix} } \right]Av=[2​1​3 1​0​2 3​2​1 ​][1 1 1 ​]=[2+1+3 1+0+2 3+2+1 ​]=[6 3 6 ​]
  4. Let w=Av=[6 3 6 ]w = Av = \left[ {\begin{matrix} 6 \ 3 \ 6 \ \end{matrix} } \right]w=Av=[6 3 6 ​]. Then Xv=∑k=16PkwXv = \sum\limits_{k = 1}^6 {{P_k}w}Xv=k=1∑6​Pk​w.
  5. The sum of all six 3x3 permutation matrices results in a matrix where every entry is 2. This is because for any position (i,j)(i,j)(i,j), there are (3−1)!=2(3-1)! = 2(3−1)!=2 permutations that map row iii to row jjj. So, ∑k=16Pk=[222 222 222 ]=2J\sum\limits_{k = 1}^6 P_k = \left[ {\begin{matrix} 2 & 2 & 2 \ 2 & 2 & 2 \ 2 & 2 & 2 \ \end{matrix} } \right] = 2Jk=1∑6​Pk​=[2​2​2 2​2​2 2​2​2 ​]=2J, where J is the matrix of all ones.
  6. Now we compute XvXvXv: Xv=(∑k=16Pk)w=(2J)w=2[111 111 111 ][6 3 6 ]=2[6+3+6 6+3+6 6+3+6 ]=2[15 15 15 ]=[30 30 30 ]=30[1 1 1 ]=30vXv = \left( {\sum\limits_{k = 1}^6 {{P_k}} } \right)w = (2J)w = 2\left[ {\begin{matrix} 1 & 1 & 1 \ 1 & 1 & 1 \ 1 & 1 & 1 \ \end{matrix} } \right]\left[ {\begin{matrix} 6 \ 3 \ 6 \ \end{matrix} } \right] = 2\left[ {\begin{matrix} {6 + 3 + 6} \ {6 + 3 + 6} \ {6 + 3 + 6} \ \end{matrix} } \right] = 2\left[ {\begin{matrix} {15} \ {15} \ {15} \ \end{matrix} } \right] = \left[ {\begin{matrix} {30} \ {30} \ {30} \ \end{matrix} } \right] = 30\left[ {\begin{matrix} 1 \ 1 \ 1 \ \end{matrix} } \right] = 30vXv=(k=1∑6​Pk​)w=(2J)w=2[1​1​1 1​1​1 1​1​1 ​][6 3 6 ​]=2[6+3+6 6+3+6 6+3+6 ​]=2[15 15 15 ​]=[30 30 30 ​]=30[1 1 1 ​]=30v
  7. Comparing Xv=30vXv = 30vXv=30v with Xv=αvXv = \alpha vXv=αv, we get α=30\alpha = 30α=30. Thus, option D is correct.

Option C: X −-− 30I is an invertible matrix

  1. From the analysis of option D, we found that Xv=30vXv = 30vXv=30v for the non-zero vector v=[1 1 1 ]v = \left[ {\begin{matrix} 1 \ 1 \ 1 \ \end{matrix} } \right]v=[1 1 1 ​].
  2. This equation can be rewritten as Xv−30v=0Xv - 30v = 0Xv−30v=0, or (X−30I)v=0(X - 30I)v = 0(X−30I)v=0.
  3. This shows that 30 is an eigenvalue of the matrix X, and vvv is a corresponding eigenvector.
  4. A matrix MMM is invertible if and only if its determinant is non-zero. The determinant is the product of its eigenvalues. Since 30 is an eigenvalue of X, one of the eigenvalues of the matrix (X−30I)(X - 30I)(X−30I) is 30−30=030 - 30 = 030−30=0.
  5. Since one of the eigenvalues of (X−30I)(X - 30I)(X−30I) is 0, its determinant is 0. A matrix with a determinant of 0 is singular (not invertible).
  6. Therefore, X−30IX - 30IX−30I is not an invertible matrix. Thus, option C is incorrect.

Final Conclusion: Options A, B, and D are correct.
