Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\left[\begin{array}{cc}\cos \theta & -\sin \theta \\ -\sin \theta & -\cos \theta\end{array}\right]\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(
\begin{array}{l}
\quad|A|=\left|\begin{array}{cc}
\cos \theta & -\sin \theta \\
-\sin \theta & -\cos \theta
\end{array}\right|=-1 \\
\operatorname{adj}(A)=\left[\begin{array}{cc}
-\cos \theta & \sin \theta \\
\sin \theta & \cos \theta
\end{array}\right] \\
\therefore \quad A^{-1}=\left|\begin{array}{cc}
\cos \theta & -\sin \theta \\
-\sin \theta & -\cos \theta
\end{array}\right|=A
\end{array}
