The correct answer is: 1404201

Given AT-1=A, AAT=ATA=I.

Now, X=ABAT

X2021=ABAT2021

X2021=ABATABATABAT...ABAT

We know that, the matrix multiplication is associative i.e. for three matrices, we have PQR=PQR.

X2021=ABATABATABATA...ATABAT

Using the given condition, we get

X2021=ABIBIBI...IBAT

X2021=ABBB...BAT

X2021=AB2021AT

ATX2021A=ATAB2021ATA

ATX2021A=IB2021I=B2021.

Now B2=BB=12011201=1401=12×201.

And B3=B2B=14011201=1601=12×301.

And B4=B3B=16011201=1801=12×401.

Hence, B2021==12×202101=1404201.

Hence, ATX2021A=1404201.
