Characteristic polynomial of a matrix related to pairs of elements generating $\mathbb{Z}/n\mathbb{Z}$

Fix $n\geq 2$. Let $A$ be the matrix whose rows and columns are indexed by pairs $(a,b)\in \mathbb{Z}/n\mathbb{Z}$ such that $a,b$ generate $\mathbb{Z}/n\mathbb{Z}$ (the number of such pairs is $\phi(...
