JEE Advanced 2026 Mathematics question

For real numbers α, β, γ, δ and µ, consider the matrix

M = .

Suppose that , where is the transpose of the matrix M, and I is the 3 × 3 identity matrix. Let

u = α i + j + γ k, v = i + β j + δ k and w = - i + j + μ k.

Match each entry in List-I to the correct entry in List-II and choose the correct option. List-I (P) The value of is (Q) If for some real numbers x, y and z, then the value of x is (R) The value of is (S) The value of is List-II (1) 0 (2) 1 (3) (4) (5)

• (A)(P) → (5), (Q) → (4), (R) → (2), (S) → (1)Correct
• (B)(P) → (4), (Q) → (5), (R) → (1), (S) → (2)
• (C)(P) → (5), (Q) → (3), (R) → (2), (S) → (1)
• (D)(P) → (5), (Q) → (4), (R) → (1), (S) → (2)
