Answers (1)

Answer: The correct option is \text { (C), } A^{4}=\left[\begin{array}{ll} 1 & 0 \\ 0 & 1 \end{array}\right]

Given:A=\left[\begin{array}{ll} i & 0 \\ 0 & i \end{array}\right]

Solution:

Now,A^{2}=A \times A

\begin{aligned} &=\left[\begin{array}{ll} i & 0 \\ 0 & i \end{array}\right] \times\left[\begin{array}{cc} i & 0 \\ 0 & i \end{array}\right] \\ &\quad=\left[\begin{array}{cc} i^{2} & 0 \\ 0 & i^{2} \end{array}\right] \\ &\quad=\left[\begin{array}{cc} -1 & 0 \\ 0 & -1 \end{array}\right] \\ &A^{3}=A^{2} \times A \\ &=\left[\begin{array}{cc} -1 & 0 \\ 0 & -1 \end{array}\right] \times\left[\begin{array}{cc} i & 0 \\ 0 & i \end{array}\right] \\ &=\left[\begin{array}{cc} -i & 0 \\ 0 & -i \end{array}\right] \\ &A^{4}=A^{3} \times A \\ &=\left[\begin{array}{cc} -i & 0 \\ 0 & -i \end{array}\right] \times\left[\begin{array}{cc} i & 0 \\ 0 & i \end{array}\right] \\ &=\left[\begin{array}{cc} -i^{2} & 0 \\ 0 & -i^{2} \end{array}\right] \\ &=\left[\begin{array}{ll} 1 & 0 \\ 0 & 1 \end{array}\right] \end{aligned}

So,A^{4}=\left[\begin{array}{ll} 1 & 0 \\ 0 & 1 \end{array}\right]
