The correct answer is: 25

We have A=1+i1-i0

A2=A·A=1+i1-i01+i1-i0=i1+i-i+1-i

A3=A2·A=i1+i1-i-i1+i1-i0=0i11-i

A4=A3·A=0i11-i1+i1-i01001=I

   A4=I

So, A5=A4·A=I·A=A 

A6=A4·A2=I·A2=A2 and so on

A1=A5=A9=.....=A97=A

Hence, possible values of n, such that An=A

=1,5,9,,97

Clearly, above sequence is in A.P. where

a=1, d=4 & tn=97  a+n-1d=97

  1+n-14=97    n=25

 The number of elements in the given set =25.
