Let denote the set of all real numbers and let . Consider the matrices
and .
Let be real numbers such that
.
Let
.
Then which of the following statements is (are) TRUE ?
and .
Let be real numbers such that
.
Let
.
Then which of the following statements is (are) TRUE ?
Options
- A
- BIf , then
- CIf is an integer greater than such that , then is an integer multiple of
- DIf , then
Correct answer
B. If , then
Step-by-step solution
We are given the matrices and .
First, we compute the product :
Comparing this with , we get , , , and .
Evaluating Option (A):
This is not equal to , so statement (A) is FALSE.
Evaluating Option (B):
Given , which is a complex cube root of unity, satisfying and .
Since , we have:
Thus, statement (B) is TRUE.
Evaluating Option (C):
The characteristic equation of is , which gives .
By the Cayley-Hamilton theorem, .
Multiplying by , we get .
Squaring both sides gives .
We are given , which implies .
This means must be a multiple of , so for some integer .
For , (which is a multiple of ).
For , (which is NOT a multiple of ).
Thus, statement (C) is FALSE.
Evaluating Option (D):
For , let where .
Multiplying the numerator and denominator by the conjugate :
The imaginary part of this new complex number is .
Since and , the imaginary part is strictly positive.
Therefore, , making statement (D) TRUE.
