If A is a square matrix such that \(A^2=A\) then which of the following statements are TRUE?
(Where I is an identity matrix of same order as A)
(A) \((I+A)^4=I+15 A\)
(B) \((I+A)^2=I+3 A\)
(C) \((I+A)^6=I+30 A\)
(D) \((I+A)^3=I+7 A\)
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

  1. A (A) and (B) only
  2. B (A), (B) and (C) only
  3. C (A), (C) and (D) only
  4. D (A), (B) and (D) only

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) (A), (B) and (D) only

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( (I+A)^2 = I^2 + IA + AI + A^2 = I + A + A + A = I + 3A \) Therefore, (B) is TRUE. \( (I+A)^3 = (I+A)^2 (I+A) = (I+3A)(I+A) = I^2 + IA + 3AI + 3A^2 = I + A + 3A + 3A = I + 7A \) Therefore, (D) is TRUE.…
