MCQ
If $\text{A}=\begin{bmatrix}1&-1\\2&-1\end{bmatrix},\text{B}=\begin{bmatrix}\text{a}&1\\\text{b}&-1\end {bmatrix}$ and $(A + B)^2 = A^2 + B^2,$ values of $a$ and $b$ are:
  • A
    $a = 4, b = 1$
  • ✓
    $a = 1, b = 4$
  • C
    $a = 0, b = 4$
  • D
    $a = 2, b = 4$
✓

Answer

Correct option: B.
$a = 1, b = 4$
Here,
$(\text{A+B})^2=\text{A}^2+\text{B}^2$
$\Rightarrow\text{A}^2+\text{AB}+\text{BA}+\text{B}^2=\text{A}^2+\text{B}^2$
$\Rightarrow\text{AB}+\text{BA}=0$
$\Rightarrow\text{AB}=-\text{BA}$
$\Rightarrow\begin{bmatrix}1&-1\\2&-1\end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix}\text{a}&1\\\text{b}&-1\end{bmatrix}=-\begin{bmatrix}\text{a}&1\\\text{b}&-1\end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix}1&-1\\2&-1\end{bmatrix}$
$\Rightarrow\begin{bmatrix}\text{a}-\text{b}&2\\2\text{a}-\text{b}&3\end{bmatrix}=-\begin{bmatrix}\text{a}+2&-\text{a}-1\\\text{b}-2&-\text{b}+1\end{bmatrix}$
$\Rightarrow\begin{bmatrix}\text{a}-\text{b}&2\\2\text{a}-\text{b}&3\end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}-\text{a}-2&\text{a}+1\\\text{b}+2&\text{b}-1\end{bmatrix}$
The corresponding elements of two equal matrices are equal.
$\Rightarrow\text{a}+1=2$ and $b-1=3$
$\therefore\ \text{a}=1$ and $b=4$
