If an elementary row operation R₁ → R₁ + 2R₂ is applied to the identity matrix I of order 2, the resulting matrix is:
If an elementary row operation R₁ → R₁ + 2R₂ is applied to the identity matrix I of order 2, the resulting matrix is:
- A. [[1, 0], [0, 1]]
- B. [[1, 2], [0, 1]]
- C. [[3, 0], [0, 1]]
- D. [[1, 0], [2, 1]]
Answer: B) [[1, 2], [0, 1]]
Explanation: I = [[1, 0], [0, 1]]. Applying R₁ → R₁ + 2R₂, the new Row 1 is [1+2(0), 0+2(1)] = [1, 2]. So the matrix becomes [[1, 2], [0, 1]].
