Answer:

Correct Answer: 35. (9)

Solution:

  1.  Let M=[a1a2a3b1b2b3c1c2c3]

M[010]=[123]M[110]=[111]M[111]=[0012][a2b2c2]=[123],[a1a2b1b2c1c2]=[111][a1+a2+a3b1+b2+b3c1+c2+c3]=[0012]a2=1,b2=2,c2=3,a1a2=1b1b2=1,c1c2=1a1+a2+a3=0,b1+b2+b3=0c1+c2+c3=12a1=0,b2=2,c3=7

Sum of diagonal elements =0+2+7=9
