MCQ
If $A=\left[\begin{array}{rr}\cos \alpha & -\sin \alpha \\ \sin \alpha & \cos \alpha\end{array}\right]$ and $A+A^{\prime}=I$, then the value of $\alpha$ is
  • A
    $\frac{\pi}{6}$
  • B
    $\frac{\pi}{3}$
  • C
    $\pi$
  • D
    $\frac{3 \pi}{2}$

Answer

$\begin{array}{l}\text {We have, } A=\left[\begin{array}{cc}\cos \alpha & -\sin \alpha \\ \sin \alpha & \cos \alpha\end{array}\right] \\ \text { and } A+A^{\prime}=I \\ \Rightarrow\left[\begin{array}{cc}\cos \alpha & -\sin \alpha \\ \sin \alpha & \cos \alpha\end{array}\right]+\left[\begin{array}{cc}\cos \alpha & \sin \alpha \\ -\sin \alpha & \cos \alpha\end{array}\right]=\left[\begin{array}{ll}1 & 0 \\ 0 & 1\end{array}\right] \\ \Rightarrow\left[\begin{array}{cc}2 \cos \alpha & 0 \\ 0 & 2 \cos \alpha\end{array}\right]=\left[\begin{array}{ll}1 & 0 \\ 0 & 1\end{array}\right] \\ \Rightarrow \quad 2 \cos \alpha=1 \Rightarrow \cos \alpha=\frac{1}{2} \Rightarrow \alpha=\frac{\pi}{3}\end{array}$
