Question
Read carefully, then pick the best option.
Let A=[12201] A = \begin{bmatrix} \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} & -2 \\ 0 & 1 \end{bmatrix} and P=[cosθsinθsinθcosθ],θ0. P = \begin{bmatrix} \cos \theta & -\sin \theta \\ \sin \theta & \cos \theta \end{bmatrix}, \theta \geq 0. If B=PAPT,C=PTBTP B = PAP^T, C = P^TB^TP and the sum of the diagonal elements of C C is mn \frac{m}{n} , where gcd(m,n)=1 \gcd(m, n) = 1 , then m+n m + n is
