Let \(A\) be a matrix such that \(A.\,\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}
1&2\\
0&3
\end{array}} \right]\) is a scalar matrix and \(\left| {3A} \right| = 108\) . Then \(A^2\) equals

  1. A \(\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}
    4&{ - 32}\\
    0&{36}
    \end{array}} \right]\)
  2. B \(\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}
    4&0\\
    { - 32}&{36}
    \end{array}} \right]\)
  3. C \(\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}
    {36}&0\\
    { - 32}&4
    \end{array}} \right]\)
  4. D \(\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}
    {36}&{ - 32}\\
    0&4
    \end{array}} \right]\)

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}
{36}&{ - 32}\\
0&4
\end{array}} \right]\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\((d)\) Since \(A.\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} 1&2\\ 0&3 \end{array}} \right]\) is a scalar matrix and \(\left| {3A} \right| = 108\) Suppose the scalar matrix is \(\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} k&0\\ 0&k \end{array}} \right]\)…
