MCQ
If $A = \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}i&0\\0&i\end{array}} \right]$, then ${A^2} = $
  • A
    $\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}1&0\\0&{ - 1}\end{array}} \right]$
  • $\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{ - 1}&0\\0&{ - 1}\end{array}} \right]$
  • C
    $\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}1&0\\0&1\end{array}} \right]$
  • D
    $\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{ - 1}&0\\0&1\end{array}} \right]$

Answer

Correct option: B.
$\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{ - 1}&0\\0&{ - 1}\end{array}} \right]$
b
(b) $A = \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}i&0\\0&i\end{array}} \right]$; ${A^2} = A.\,A = \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}i&0\\0&i\end{array}} \right]\,\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}i&0\\0&i\end{array}} \right]$

${A^2} = \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{ - 1}&0\\0&{ - 1}\end{array}} \right]$, $[\because {i^2} =  - 1]$ .
