Let $\alpha$ and $\beta$ be the distinct roots of the equation $x^2+x-1=0$. Consider the set $T=\{1, \alpha, \beta\}$. For a $3 \times 3$ matrix $M=\left(a_{i j}\right)_{3 \times 3}$, define $R_i=a_{i 1}+a_{i 2}+a_{i 3}$ and $C_j=a_{1 j}+a_{2 j}+a_{3 j}$ for $i=1,2,3$ and $j=1,2,3$.

Match each entry in List-I to the correct entry in List-II.

List-I List-II
(P) The number of matrices $ M = (a_{ij})_{3x3} $ with all entries in $ T $ such that $ R_i = C_j = 0 $ for all $ i, j $, is (1) 1
(Q) The number of symmetric matrices $ M = (a_{ij})_{3x3} $ with all entries in $ T $ such that $ C_j = 0 $ for all $ j $, is (2) 12
