MCQ
If $A =$ $\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}a&b\\c&d\end{array}} \right]$ (where $bc \ne 0$) satisfies the equations $x^2 + k = 0$, then
  • A
    $a + d = 0$
  • B
    $k = -|A|$
  • C
    $k = |A|$
  • both $(A)$ and $(C)$

Answer

Correct option: D.
both $(A)$ and $(C)$
d
We have $A^2 =$ $\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}a&b\\c&d\end{array}} \right]$ $\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}a&b\\c&d\end{array}} \right]$ $=$ $\left[{\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{{a^2} + bc}&{ab + db}\\{ac + cd}&{bc + {d^2}} \end{array}} \right]$ $= 0$

As $A$ satisfies, $x^2 + k = 0, A^2 + kI = O$

  ==>$\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{{a^2} + bc + k}&{(a + d)b}\\{(a + d)c}&{bc + {d^2} + k}\end{array}} \right]$

==>$a^2 + bc + k = 0 = bc + d^2 + k = 0$ and $(a + d)b = (a + d) c = 0$

As $bc \ne 0, b \ne 0, c \ne 0$ ==> $a + d = 0$ ==> $a = -d$

Also, $k = -(a^2 + bc)$ $= -(d^2 + bc)$ $= - ( (-ad) + bc ) = |A|$
