The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

We have,
$\begin{bmatrix}2 x+y & x+y \\ p-q & p+q\end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}1 & 1 \\ 0 & 0\end{bmatrix}$
$\therefore \,\, 2 x+y=1 \,\,\,...(i)$
$x+y=1\,\,\,...(ii)$
$p-q=0\,\,\,...(iii)$
$p+q=0\,\,\,...(iv)$
On solving Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get
$x=0, y=1$
and on solving Eqs. (iii) and (iv), we get
$p=q=0$

Matrices

Matrix:

A matrix is a rectangular array of numbers, variables, symbols, or expressions that are defined for the operations like subtraction, addition, and multiplications. The size of a matrix is determined by the number of rows and columns in the matrix.

The basic operations that can be performed on matrices are:

  1. Addition of Matrices - The addition of matrices addition can only be possible if the number of rows and columns of both the matrices are the same.
  2. Subtraction of Matrices - Matrices subtraction is also possible only if the number of rows and columns of both the matrices are the same.
  3. Scalar Multiplication - The product of a matrix A with any number 'c' is obtained by multiplying every entry of the matrix A by c, is called scalar multiplication. 
  4. Multiplication of Matrices - Matrices multiplication is defined only if the number of columns in the first matrix and rows in the second matrix are equal. 
  5. Transpose of Matrices - Interchanging of rows and columns is known as the transpose of matrices.
