Step-by-Step Solution

  1. A scalar matrix is a diagonal matrix where all the diagonal elements are equal. Therefore, for the given matrix to be a scalar matrix, we must have \(a = d = 5\) and \(b = c = 0\).

  2. Substitute these values into the expression \(a + 2b + 3c + 4d\):

    \(a + 2b + 3c + 4d = 5 + 2(0) + 3(0) + 4(5)\)

  3. Simplify the expression:

    \(5 + 0 + 0 + 20 = 25\)

Correct Answer: 25
