MCQ
If for a square matrix $A, A^2-A+I=0$, then $A^{-1}$ equals
  • A
    $A$
  • B
    $A+1$
  • $1- A$
  • D
    $A-1$

Answer

Correct option: C.
$1- A$
We have, $A^2-A+I=O$Pre-multiplying with $A^{-1}$ on both sides, we get
$\left(A^{-1} A\right) \cdot A-A^{-1} \cdot A+A^{-1} \cdot I=A^{-1} \cdot O$
$\Rightarrow I \cdot A-I+A^{-1}=O$
$\Rightarrow A^{-1}=-(A-I)=I-A$
