MCQ
If for a square matrix $A, A^2-A+I=0$, then $A^{-1}$ equals
  • A
    $A$
  • B
    $A+1$
  • C
    $1- A$
  • D
    $A-1$

Answer

We have, $A^2-A+I=O$
Pre-multiplying with $A^{-1}$ on both sides, we get
$
\begin{array}{l}
\left(A^{-1} A\right) \cdot A-A^{-1} \cdot A+A^{-1} \cdot I=A^{-1} \cdot O \\
\Rightarrow \quad I \cdot A-I+A^{-1}=O \\
\Rightarrow \quad A^{-1}=-(A-I)=I-A
\end{array}
