Question
Assertion (A) : Scalar matrix $A=\left[a_{i j}\right]$ $=\left\{\begin{array}{ll}k ; & i=j \\ 0 ; & i \neq j\end{array}\right.$ where $k$ is a scalar, is an identity matrix when $k=1$.
Reason (R) : Every identity matrix is not a scalar matrix.

Answer

(c) : A scalar matrix $A=\left[a_{i j}\right]=\left\{\begin{array}{ll}k, & i=j \\ 0, & i \neq j\end{array}\right.$ is an identity matrix when $k=1$. But every identity matrix is clearly a scalar matrix.
