Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(10\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Sol. Characteristic equation of matric \(A\) \(|A-\lambda I|=0\)\(\left|\begin{array}{cc}1-\lambda & 2 \\2 & -5-\lambda\end{array}\right|=0\) \(\lambda^{2}+4 \lambda=1\) \(A^{2}+4 A=I\) \(2\,A^{2}+8 A=2 I\) Given that \(\alpha A^{2}+\beta A=2\,I\) Comparing equation \((1)\) and…
