Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) (A), (C) and (D) only

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(A = \begin{pmatrix} 0 & 1 \\ 1 & 0 \end{pmatrix}\) \(A^2 = \begin{pmatrix} 0 & 1 \\ 1 & 0 \end{pmatrix}\begin{pmatrix} 0 & 1 \\ 1 & 0 \end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix} 1 & 0 \\ 0 & 1 \end{pmatrix} = I\) \(A^2-3A+4I = I-3A+4I = 5I-3A\)…
