MCQ
If $A =$ $\left( {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}a&b\\c&d\end{array}} \right)$ satisfies the equation $x^2 - (a + d) x + k = 0$, then
- A$k = bc$
- B$k = ad$
- C$k = a^2 + b^2 + c^2 + d^2$
- ✓$ad-bc$
$\therefore$ $A^2 -(a + d)$ $A =$ $\left( {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{bc + ad}&0\\ 0&{bc + da}\end{array}} \right)$ $= (bc - ad) I$
As $A^2 - (a + d)A + kI = 0$, we get $(bc -ad)I + kI = 0 $
$==> k = ad - bc$
