Let $$X = \left[ {\matrix{ 0 & 1 & 0 \cr 0 & 0 & 1 \cr 0 & 0 & 0 \cr } } \right],\,Y = \alpha I + \beta X + \gamma {X^2}$$ and $$Z = {\alpha ^2}I - \alpha \beta X + ({\beta ^2} - \alpha \gamma ){X^2}$$, $$\alpha$$, $$\beta$$, $$\gamma$$ $$\in$$ R. If $${Y^{ - 1}} = \left[ {\matrix{ {{1 \over 5}} & {{{ - 2} \over 5}} & {{1 \over 5}} \cr 0 & {{1 \over 5}} & {{{ - 2} \over 5}} \cr 0 & 0 & {{1 \over 5}} \cr } } \right]$$, then ($$\alpha$$ $$-$$ $$\beta$$ + $$\gamma$$)² is equal to ____________.

Let $$A = \left( {\matrix{ 2 & { - 2} \cr 1 & { - 1} \cr } } \right)$$ and $$B = \left( {\matrix{ { - 1} & 2 \cr { - 1} & 2 \cr } } \right)$$. Then the number of elements in the set {(n, m) : n, m $$\in$$ {1, 2, .........., 10} and nAⁿ + mB^m = I} is ____________.

Let $$S = \left\{ {\left( {\matrix{ { - 1} & a \cr 0 & b \cr } } \right);a,b \in \{ 1,2,3,....100\} } \right\}$$ and let $${T_n} = \{ A \in S:{A^{n(n + 1)}} = I\} $$. Then the number of elements in $$\bigcap\limits_{n = 1}^{100} {{T_n}} $$ is ___________.
