Let a, b, c R be all non-zero and satisfy a3 + b3 + c3 = 2. If the matrix A = satisfies ATA = I, then a value of abc can be :
- A3
- B
- C-
- D
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: B
- Interpret the condition
We are given
with , and
Since
a&b&c\\ b&c&a\\ c&a&b \end{pmatrix}=A,we have , so the condition becomes
Also given:
We need to find a possible value of .
- Use
Let us compute entries of .
The entry is Since , this must equal :
The entry is Since off-diagonal entries of are zero,
(Other off-diagonal entries give the same condition by symmetry.)
- Use the identity for sum of cubes
We know
From (1) and (2), So
But from (2), Hence
Given , substitute into (3): Using (4), we get two cases:
-
If , then
-
If , then
So algebraically,
- Check which value is among the options
The options are:
- A:
- B:
- C:
- D:
Among these, only is possible.
- Answer
Therefore, the correct option is
So Option B is correct.
