MCQ
If $\text{A}=\begin{bmatrix}1&2&\text{x}\\0&1&0\\0&0&1\end{bmatrix}$ and $\text{B}=\begin{bmatrix}1&-2&\text{y}\\0&1&0\\0&0&1\end{bmatrix}$ and $A B=I_3$, then $x+y$ equals :
  • $0$
  • B
    $-1$
  • C
    $2$
  • D
    None of these.

Answer

Correct option: A.
$0$
Given : $A B=I_3$
$\Rightarrow\begin{bmatrix}1&2&\text{x}\\0&1&0\\0&0&1\end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix}1&-2&\text{y}\\0&1&0\\0&0&1\end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}1&0&0\\0&1&0\\0&0&1\end{bmatrix}$
$\Rightarrow\begin{bmatrix}1&0&\text{y+x}\\0&1&0\\0&0&1\end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}1&0&0\\0&1&0\\0&0&1\end{bmatrix}$
The corresponding elements of two equal matrices are equal.
$\therefore\ \text{y}+\text{x}=0$
