Mathematics Question from JEE Main 2025 · 28 January, Shift 1

Let MM denote the set of all real matrices of order 3×33 \times 3 and let S={3,2,1,1,2}S = \{-3, -2, -1, 1, 2\}. Let

S1={A=[aij]M:A=AT and aijS,i,j},S_1 = \{A = [a_{ij}] \in M : A = A^T \text{ and } a_{ij} \in S, \forall i, j\}, S2={A=[aij]M:A=AT and aijS,i,j},S_2 = \{A = [a_{ij}] \in M : A = -A^T \text{ and } a_{ij} \in S, \forall i, j\}, S3={A=[aij]M:a11+a22+a33=0 and aijS,i,j}.S_3 = \{A = [a_{ij}] \in M : a_{11} + a_{22} + a_{33} = 0 \text{ and } a_{ij} \in S, \forall i, j\}.

If n(S1S2S3)=125αn(S_1 \cup S_2 \cup S_3) = 125\alpha, then α\alpha equals:
