Suppose \(A\) is any \(3\times3\) non-singular matrix and \((A - 3I) (A- 5I)\, = 0\), where \(I\,= I_3\) and \(O\,= O_3\). If \(\alpha A + \beta A^{- 1}\, = 4I\), then \(\alpha + \beta \) is equal to

  1. A \(8\)
  2. B \(12\)
  3. C \(13\)
  4. D \(7\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(8\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

we have \((A-3I)(A-5I)=0\) \( \Rightarrow {A^2} - 8A + 15I = 0\) Multiplying both sides by \({A^{ - 1}}\), we get; \({A^{ - 1}}A.A - 8{A^{ - 1}}A + 15{A^{ - 1}}I = {A^{ - 1}}0\) \( \Rightarrow A - 8I + 15{A^{ - 1}} = 0\) \(A + 15{A^{ - 1}} = 8I\)…
