If matrix A = [a(i,j)] is a 2 × 2 matrix such that a(i,j) = 1 for i ≠ j and a(i,j) = 0 for i = j, then A² is:
If matrix A = [a(i,j)] is a 2 × 2 matrix such that a(i,j) = 1 for i ≠ j and a(i,j) = 0 for i = j, then A² is:
- A. A
- B. I
- C. O
- D. 2I
Answer: B) I
Explanation: Based on the rule, A = [[0, 1], [1, 0]]. A² = [[0, 1], [1, 0]] × [[0, 1], [1, 0]] = [[1, 0], [0, 1]], which is the identity matrix I.
