    If\[A=\left[ \begin{matrix}    1 & 2 & 2  \\    2 & 1 & -2  \\    a & 2 & b  \\ \end{matrix} \right]\]is a matrix satisfying\[A{{A}^{T}}=9{{I}_{3}},\]then the values of a and b are respectively

    A)  \[1,2\]                                 

    B)  \[-1,\text{ }2\]

    C)  \[-1,-2\]             

    D)         \[2,1\]

    E)  \[-2,-1\]

    Correct Answer: E

    Solution :

    \[A=\left[ \begin{matrix}    1 & 2 & 2  \\    2 & 1 & -2  \\    a & 2 & b  \\ \end{matrix} \right]\]satisfying \[A{{A}^{T}}=9{{I}_{3}}\]       ...(i) \[\Rightarrow \]\[{{A}^{T}}=\left[ \begin{matrix}    1 & 2 & a  \\    2 & 1 & 2  \\    2 & -2 & b  \\ \end{matrix} \right]\]and\[{{I}_{3}}=\left[ \begin{matrix}    1 & 0 & 0  \\    0 & 1 & 0  \\    0 & 0 & 1  \\ \end{matrix} \right]\] From Eq. (i), \[\Rightarrow \]\[\left[ \begin{matrix}    1 & 2 & 2  \\    2 & 1 & -2  \\    a & 2 & b  \\ \end{matrix} \right]\left[ \begin{matrix}    1 & 2 & a  \\    2 & 1 & 2  \\    2 & -2 & b  \\ \end{matrix} \right]=\left[ \begin{matrix}    9 & 0 & 0  \\    0 & 9 & 0  \\    0 & 0 & 9  \\ \end{matrix} \right]\] \[\Rightarrow \]\[\left[ \begin{matrix}    9 & 0 & a+4+2b  \\    0 & 9 & 2a+2-2b  \\    a+2b+4 & 2a+2-2b & {{a}^{2}}+4+{{b}^{2}}  \\ \end{matrix} \right]\] \[=\left[ \begin{matrix}    9 & 0 & 0  \\    0 & 9 & 0  \\    0 & 0 & 9  \\ \end{matrix} \right]\] On comparing, \[a+2b=-4\]                                        ...(ii) \[a-b=-1\]                                        ...(iii) On solving Eqs. (ii) and (iii), \[a=-2,b=-1\]
