                    Let A, other than I or-I, a\[2\times 2\] areal matrix such that\[{{\operatorname{A}}^{2}}=I,\]I being the unit matrix. Let Tr   be the sum of diagonal elements of A.                 Statement 1 :\[\operatorname{T}\operatorname{r}(\operatorname{A})=0\]                 Statement 1 :\[\det (\operatorname{A})=-1\]     JEE Main Online Paper ( Held On 23  April 2013 )

    A)                   Statement 1 is true; Statement 2 is false.

    B)                                          Statement 1 is true; Statement 2 is true; Statement 2 is not correct explanation for Statement 1.

    C)                                         Statement 1 is true; Statement 2 is true; Statement 2 is a correct explanation for Statement 1.

    D)                                          Statement 1 is false; Statement 2 is true.

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                     \[\left[ \begin{matrix}    a & b  \\    c & d  \\ \end{matrix} \right]\left[ \begin{matrix}    a & b  \\    c & d  \\ \end{matrix} \right]=\left[ \begin{matrix}    1 & 0  \\    0 & 1  \\ \end{matrix} \right]\] \[\left[ \begin{matrix}    {{a}^{2}}+bc & ab+bd  \\    ac+cd & bc+{{d}^{2}}  \\ \end{matrix} \right]=\left[ \begin{matrix}    1 & 0  \\    0 & 1  \\ \end{matrix} \right]\] \[b(c+d)=0,b=0\]or\[a=-d\]                        ?(1) \[c(a+d)=0,c=0\]or\[a=-d\]                         ?(2) \[{{a}^{2}}+bc=1,bc+{{d}^{2}}=1\]                                            ?(3) 'a' and 'd? are diagonal elements a + d = 0 statement-1 is correct. Now, det   =ad-bc Now, from(3) \[{{a}^{2}}+bc=1\]and\[{{d}^{2}}+bc=1\] So,\[{{a}^{2}}+{{d}^{2}}=0\] Adding \[{{a}^{2}}+{{d}^{2}}+2bc=2\] \[={{(a+d)}^{2}}-2ad+2bc=2\] or\[0-2(ad-bc)=2\] So,\[ad-bc=1\Rightarrow \det (A)=-1\] So, statement - 2 is also true. But statement - 2 is not the correct explanation of statement-I
