Question:

If the matrices \(\left(\begin{matrix} 1 & 0 \\   0 & 0  \end{matrix}\right),\left(\begin{matrix}   -1 & 0 \\   0 & 0  \end{matrix}\right),\left(\begin{matrix}   i & 0 \\   0 & 0  \end{matrix}\right) and \left(\begin{matrix}   -i & 0 \\   0 & 0  \end{matrix}\right)\) form a group with respect to matrix multiplication, then which one of the following statements about the groups, thus formed is correct?

  • The group has no element of order 4.
  • The group has an element of order 3.
  • The group is non-abelian
  • \(\left(\begin{matrix} -1 & 0 \\   0 & 0  \end{matrix}\right)\)is its own inverse
