Correct answer: A, B, D
Let the given matrix be . We can observe that A is a symmetric matrix, i.e., . The matrices are the six 3x3 permutation matrices. A key property of permutation matrices is that they are orthogonal, meaning , where is the identity matrix.
The matrix X is defined as
We will evaluate each option step-by-step.
Option A: X is a symmetric matrix
- To check if X is symmetric, we need to compute its transpose, .
- Using the property and , 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}}
- We know that and the given matrix A is symmetric (). Substituting these into the expression for :
- Since , the matrix X is symmetric. Thus, option A is correct.
Option B: The sum of diagonal entries of X is 18
- The sum of diagonal entries of a matrix is its trace, denoted by Tr(). We need to calculate Tr(X).
- Using the cyclic property of the trace, , we have:
- Since are permutation matrices, they are orthogonal, so .
- The trace of A is the sum of its diagonal elements: .
- Now we can find the trace of X:
- The sum of diagonal entries of X is 18. Thus, option B is correct.
Option D: If , then
- Let . The equation is . This means is an eigenvector of X with eigenvalue .
- A permutation matrix acting on a vector permutes its components. For the vector , all components are 1, so any permutation of its components results in the same vector . Therefore, for all .
- First, let's calculate :
- Let . Then .
- The sum of all six 3x3 permutation matrices results in a matrix where every entry is 2. This is because for any position , there are permutations that map row to row . So, , where J is the matrix of all ones.
- Now we compute :
- Comparing with , we get . Thus, option D is correct.
Option C: X 30I is an invertible matrix
- From the analysis of option D, we found that for the non-zero vector .
- This equation can be rewritten as , or .
- This shows that 30 is an eigenvalue of the matrix X, and is a corresponding eigenvector.
- A matrix 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 is .
- Since one of the eigenvalues of is 0, its determinant is 0. A matrix with a determinant of 0 is singular (not invertible).
- Therefore, is not an invertible matrix. Thus, option C is incorrect.
Final Conclusion: Options A, B, and D are correct.
