If \(A\) is a square matrix such that \(A^2=A\), then \((I-A)^3\) is

  1. A \(\mathrm{I}-\mathrm{A}\)
  2. B A - I
  3. C \(\mathrm{I}+\mathrm{A}\)
  4. D \(-\mathrm{I}-\mathrm{A}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\mathrm{I}-\mathrm{A}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\mathrm{A}^2=\mathrm{A}\).
\(\begin{aligned} & (I-A)^3=(I-A)\left(I-2 A+A^2\right) \\ & =(I-A)(I-2 A+A) \\ & =(I-A)(I+A) \\ & =I-A^2=I-A\end{aligned}\)
