If A = [[3, 2], [1, 4]] and B = [[a, b], [c, d]] such that A + B = [[5, 0], [0, 5]], then the value of a + d is:

  • A. 3
  • B. 5
  • C. 6
  • D. 10

Answer: A) 3

Explanation: A + B = [[3+a, 2+b], [1+c, 4+d]] = [[5, 0], [0, 5]]. So 3+a = 5 → a = 2; 2+b = 0 → b = −2; 1+c = 0 → c = −1; 4+d = 5 → d = 1. Then a + d = 2 + 1 = 3.
