MCQ

Suppose $A=\left[\begin{array}{ll}a & b \\ c & d\end{array}\right]$ is a real matrix with non-zero entries, $\alpha d-b c=0$ and $A^2=A$. Then, $a + d$ equals

✓
$1$
B
$2$
C
$3$
D
$4$

✓

Answer

Correct option: A.

$1$

a
(a)

We have

$\begin{aligned} A &=\left[\begin{array}{ll}a & b \\ c & d\end{array}\right] \\ A^2 &=\left[\begin{array}{ll}a & b \\ c & d\end{array}\right]\left[\begin{array}{ll}a & b \\ c & d\end{array}\right] \\ A^2 &=\left[\begin{array}{ll}a^2+b c & a b+b d \\ a c+c d & b c+d^2\end{array}\right] \end{aligned}$

Given, $A^2=A$ and $a d-b c=0$

$\therefore\left[\begin{array}{ll} a^2+b c & a b+b d \\ a c+c d & b c+d^2 \end{array}\right]=\left[\begin{array}{ll} a & b \\ c & d \end{array}\right]$

$a b+b d =b$

$b(a+d) =b$

$a+d =1$
