What is the total number of 3 × 3 matrices M, whose elements are chosen from {0, 1, 2}, such that the sum of the diagonal elements of MᵀM equals 5?

  1. 62
  2. 198
  3. 126
  4. 135

Correct answer: 198

Solution

The total number of 3 × 3 matrices M with elements chosen from {0, 1, 2} such that the sum of the diagonal elements of MᵀM equals 5 can be found by considering the possible combinations of elements that satisfy the given condition, resulting in 198 such matrices.
