$(A)$ $M$ is invertible
$(B)$ There exists a nonzero column matrix $\begin{bmatrix} a_1 \\ a_2 \\ a_3 \end{bmatrix}$ such that $M \begin{bmatrix} a_1 \\ a_2 \\ a_3 \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} -a_1 \\ -a_2 \\ -a_3 \end{bmatrix}$
$(C)$ The set $\{X \in \mathbb{R}^3 : MX = 0, X \neq 0\}$ is non-empty,where $0 = \begin{bmatrix} 0 \\ 0 \\ 0 \end{bmatrix}$

In a legislative assembly election,a political group hired a public relations firm to promote its candidate in three ways: telephone,house calls,and letters. The cost per contact (in paise) is given in matrix $A$ as $A = \begin{bmatrix} 40 \\ 100 \\ 50 \end{bmatrix} \begin{matrix} \text{Telephone} \\ \text{Housecall} \\ \text{Letter} \end{matrix}$.
