    For the matrix \[A=\left[ \begin{matrix}    1 & 1 & 0  \\    1 & 2 & 1  \\    2 & 1 & 0  \\ \end{matrix} \right]\], which of the following is correct  [Kerala (Engg.)2001]

    A) \[{{A}^{3}}+3{{A}^{2}}-I=O\]

    B) \[{{A}^{3}}-3{{A}^{2}}-I=O\]

    C) \[{{A}^{3}}+2{{A}^{2}}-I=O\]

    D) \[{{A}^{3}}-{{A}^{2}}+I=O\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    \[{{A}^{2}}=AA=\left[ \,\begin{matrix}    1 & 1 & 0  \\    1 & 2 & 1  \\    2 & 1 & 0  \\ \end{matrix}\, \right]\,\left[ \,\begin{matrix}    1 & 1 & 0  \\    1 & 2 & 1  \\    2 & 1 & 0  \\ \end{matrix}\, \right]\]= \[\left[ \,\begin{matrix}    2 & 3 & 1  \\    5 & 6 & 2  \\    3 & 4 & 1  \\ \end{matrix}\, \right]\] Þ\[{{A}^{3}}={{A}^{2}}A=\left[ \,\begin{matrix}    2 & 3 & 1  \\    5 & 6 & 2  \\    3 & 4 & 1  \\ \end{matrix}\, \right]\,\,\left[ \,\begin{matrix}    1 & 1 & 0  \\    1 & 2 & 1  \\    2 & 1 & 0  \\ \end{matrix}\, \right]\]=\[\left[ \,\begin{matrix}    7 & 9 & 3  \\    15 & 19 & 6  \\    9 & 12 & 4  \\ \end{matrix}\, \right]\] Here\[{{A}^{3}}-3{{A}^{2}}=\left[ \,\begin{matrix}    1 & 0 & 0  \\    0 & 1 & 0  \\    0 & 0 & 1  \\ \end{matrix}\, \right]\,=I\]Þ \[{{A}^{3}}-3{{A}^{2}}-I=0\].
