Question:

Let $n\ge2$ be an integer, $A=\begin{pmatrix}\cos\left(2\pi/ n\right)&\sin \left(2\pi / n\right)&0\\ -\sin\left(2\pi / n\right)&\cos\left(2\pi / n\right)&0\\ 0&0&1\end{pmatrix}$ and $?$ is the identity matrix of order $3$. Then

  • $A^{n}=I$ and $A^{n-1} \ne I$
  • $A^{m} \ne I$ for any positive integer $m$
  • $A$ is not invertible
  • $A^m = 0$ for a positive integer $m$

The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

$A=\begin{bmatrix}\cos \left(\frac{2 \pi}{n}\right) & \sin \left(\frac{2 \pi}{n}\right) & 0 \\ -\sin \left(\frac{2 \pi}{n}\right) & \cos \left(\frac{2 \pi}{n}\right) & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 1\end{bmatrix}$

Matrices

Matrix:

A matrix is a rectangular array of numbers, variables, symbols, or expressions that are defined for the operations like subtraction, addition, and multiplications. The size of a matrix is determined by the number of rows and columns in the matrix.

The basic operations that can be performed on matrices are:

  1. Addition of Matrices - The addition of matrices addition can only be possible if the number of rows and columns of both the matrices are the same.
  2. Subtraction of Matrices - Matrices subtraction is also possible only if the number of rows and columns of both the matrices are the same.
  3. Scalar Multiplication - The product of a matrix A with any number 'c' is obtained by multiplying every entry of the matrix A by c, is called scalar multiplication. 
  4. Multiplication of Matrices - Matrices multiplication is defined only if the number of columns in the first matrix and rows in the second matrix are equal. 
  5. Transpose of Matrices - Interchanging of rows and columns is known as the transpose of matrices.
