MCQ
Let $A =\left[\begin{array}{ll} a & b \\ c & d \end{array}\right]$ and $B =\left[\begin{array}{l}\alpha \\ \beta\end{array}\right] \neq\left[\begin{array}{l}0 \\ 0\end{array}\right]$ such that
$AB = B$ and $a + d =2021,$ then the value of $ad - bc$ is equal to ...... .
  • A
    $1010$
  • B
    $1560$
  • C
    $2250$
  • $2020$

Answer

Correct option: D.
$2020$
d
$A =\left[\begin{array}{ll} a & b \\ c & d \end{array}\right], B =\left[\begin{array}{l}\alpha \\ \beta\end{array}\right]$

$AB = B$

$\Rightarrow( A - I ) B = O$

$\Rightarrow| A - I |= O ,$ since $B \neq O$

$\left|\begin{array}{cc}( a -1) & b \\ c & ( d -1)\end{array}\right|=0$

$ad - bc =2020$
