Let \(M =\left[\begin{array}{cc}0 & -\alpha \\ \alpha & 0\end{array}\right]\), where \(\alpha\) is a non-zero real number an \(N =\sum\limits_{ k =1}^{49} M ^{2 k }\). If \(\left( I - M ^{2}\right) N =-2 I\), then the positive integral value of \(\alpha\) is

  1. A \(4\)
  2. B \(3\)
  3. C \(2\)
  4. D \(1\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(1\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(M =\left[\begin{array}{cc}0 & -\alpha \\ \alpha & 0\end{array}\right] ; M ^{2}=\left[\begin{array}{cc}-\alpha^{2} & 0 \\ 0 & -\alpha^{2}\end{array}\right]=-\alpha^{2} I\) \(N = M ^{2}+ M ^{4}+\ldots \ldots+ M ^{98}=\left[-\alpha^{2}+\alpha^{4}-\alpha^{6}+\ldots .\right] I\)…
