The Correct Option is A
Solution and Explanation
Given \(A^2 = I\), the identity matrix, we analyze \((I + A)^4\):
\[(I + A)^2 = I^2 + 2IA + A^2 = I + 2A + I = 2I + 2A\]
\[(I + A)^4 = ((I + A)^2)^2 = (2I + 2A)^2\]
Expanding \((2I + 2A)^2\):
\[(2I + 2A)^2 = 4I^2 + 8IA + 4A^2\]
Since \(A^2 = I\), substitute \(4A^2 = 4I\):
\[(2I + 2A)^2 = 4I + 8A + 4I = 8I + 8A\]
Now compute \((I + A)^4 - 8A\):
\[(I + A)^4 - 8A = (8I + 8A) - 8A = 8I\]
Thus, the result is: \[8I\]

Top Questions on Matrices
- Four friends Abhay, Bina, Chhaya, and Devesh were asked to simplify \( 4 AB + 3(AB + BA) - 4 BA \), where \( A \) and \( B \) are both matrices of order \( 2 \times 2 \). It is known that \( A \neq B \) and \( A^{-1} \neq B \). Their answers are given as:
- Given \[ A = \begin{bmatrix} -4 & 4 & 4 \\ -7 & 1 & 3 \\ 5 & -3 & -1 \end{bmatrix}, \quad B = \begin{bmatrix} 1 & -1 & 1 \\ 1 & -2 & -2 \\ 2 & 1 & 3 \end{bmatrix} \] find \( AB \). Hence, solve the system of linear equations: \[ x - y + z = 4, \] \[ x - 2y - 2z = 9, \] \[ 2x + y + 3z = 1. \]
- If \[ A = \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 2 & 0 \\ -2 & -1 & -2 \\ 0 & -1 & 1 \end{bmatrix} \] then find \( A^{-1} \). Hence, solve the system of linear equations: \[ x - 2y = 10, \] \[ 2x - y - z = 8, \] \[ -2y + z = 7. \]
- Assertion (A): \( A = \text{diag} [3, 5, 2] \) is a scalar matrix of order \( 3 \times 3 \).
Reason (R): If a diagonal matrix has all non-zero elements equal, it is known as a scalar matrix. - If \( A \) and \( B \) are square matrices of order \( m \) such that \( A^2 - B^2 = (A - B)(A + B) \), then which of the following is always correct?
