Let $R = \begin{bmatrix} x & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & y & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & z \end{bmatrix}$ be a non-zero $3 \times 3$ matrix,where $x \sin \theta = y \sin \left(\theta + \frac{2 \pi}{3}\right) = z \sin \left(\theta + \frac{4 \pi}{3}\right) \neq 0$,$\theta \in (0, 2 \pi)$. For a square matrix $M$,let $\text{trace}(M)$ denote the sum of all the diagonal entries of $M$. Then,among the statements:
$(I) \text{ Trace}(R) = 0$
$(II) \text{ If trace}(\text{adj}(\text{adj}(R))) = 0, \text{ then } R \text{ has exactly one non-zero entry.}$

  • A
    Both $(I)$ and $(II)$ are true
  • B
    Neither $(I)$ nor $(II)$ is true
  • C
    Only $(II)$ is true
  • D
    Only $(I)$ is true
