    Let M denote the set of all real matrices of order 3×33 \times 3 and let S={−3,−2,−1,1,2}\mathbf{S = \{ - 3, - 2, - 1,1,2\}}. Let S1={A=[aij]∈M:A=ATS_{1}=\left\{ A =\left\lbrack a_{ij} \right\rbrack\in M:A =A^{T} \right. and  aij∈S,∀i,j}\left. \ a_{ij}\in S,\forall i,j \right\} S2={A=[aij]∈M:A=−ATS_{2}=\left\{ A =\left\lbrack a_{ij} \right\rbrack\in M:A = -A^{T} \right. and  aij∈S,∀i,j}\left. \ a_{ij}\in S,\forall i,j \right\} S3={A=[aij]∈M:a11+a22+a33=0S_{3}=\left\{ A =\left\lbrack a_{ij} \right\rbrack\in M:a_{11}+a_{22}+a_{33}= 0 \right. and  aij∈S,∀i,j}\left. \ a_{ij}\in S,\forall i,j \right\} If n(S1∪S2∪S3)=125αn\left( S_{1}\cup S_{2}\cup S_{3} \right)= 125\alpha, then α\alpha equals.
