    If \[A=\left[ \begin{matrix}    \cos \alpha  & -\sin \alpha   \\    \sin \alpha  & \cos \alpha   \\ \end{matrix} \right]\]and \[B=\left[ \begin{matrix}    \cos \beta  & -\sin \beta   \\    \sin \beta  & \cos \beta   \\ \end{matrix} \right]\], then the correct relation is

    A) \[{{A}^{2}}={{B}^{2}}\]

    B) \[A+B=B-A\]

    C) \[AB=BA\]

    D) None of these

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Clearly, \[AB=\left[ \begin{matrix}    \cos \alpha  & -\sin \alpha   \\    \sin \alpha  & \cos \alpha   \\ \end{matrix} \right]\left[ \begin{matrix}    \cos \beta  & -\sin \beta   \\    \sin \beta  & \cos \beta   \\ \end{matrix} \right]\] \[=\left[ \begin{matrix}    \cos (\alpha +\beta ) & -\sin (\alpha +\beta )  \\    \sin (\alpha +\beta ) & \cos (\alpha +\beta )  \\ \end{matrix} \right]=BA\](verify).
