Let and . The sum of the prime factors of is equal to
- A66
- B27
- C23
- D26
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: D
- Use determinant invariance under similarity
We need to find
Observe that
Hence,
Using multiplicative property of determinant,
So it is enough to compute
- Compute
Given we get
- Find its determinant
Expand along the first row:
Now, so
Also, so
Therefore,
Thus,
- Prime factors of 69
Sum of prime factors:
- Final answer
The required sum is So the correct option is D.
- Comparison with stored answer
Stored correct answer: D
Our derived answer: D (26)
Hence, the derived answer agrees with the stored answer.
