MCQ
Let $2A+B = \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}
  1&0&3 \\ 
  { - 1}&4&6 \\ 
  2&5&2 
\end{array}} \right],\,A - 2B = \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}
  2&{ - 1}&5 \\ 
  0&3&6 \\ 
  1&2&1 
\end{array}} \right]$ . Then $Tr(A) -Tr(B)$ has the value equal to (where $Tr(A)$ denotes the trace of matrix $A$)
  • A
    $3$
  • $5$
  • C
    $6$
  • D
    $7$

Answer

Correct option: B.
$5$
b
$2Tr(A) + Tr(B) = 7$
and $Tr(A)\ -2Tr(B) = 6$
$\Rightarrow  Tr(A) = 4\ and\ Tr(B) =\ -1$
