  1. A A
  2. B O

Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) A

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(A = \begin{bmatrix} 0 & 1 \\ 1 & 0 \end{bmatrix}\) \(A^2 = \begin{bmatrix} 0 & 1 \\ 1 & 0 \end{bmatrix} \begin{bmatrix} 0 & 1 \\ 1 & 0 \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 0 \\ 0 & 1 \end{bmatrix} = I\) \(A^3 = A^2 \cdot A = I \cdot A = A\)
