  • Unit matrix
  • B
    Null matrix
  • C
    $A$
  • D
    $-A$

Answer

Correct option: A.
Unit matrix
a
(a) ${A^2} = A.\,A = \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}1&0&0\\0&1&0\\a&b&{ - 1}\end{array}} \right]\,\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}1&0&0\\0&1&0\\a&b&{ - 1}\end{array}} \right] = \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}1&0&0\\0&1&0\\0&0&1\end{array}} \right] = I$
