JEE Main Mathematics Question (2026) — Solution

Question

Let A= [ array ll 3 & -4 \\ 1 & -1 array ] and B be two matrices such that A^ 100 =100 B+I. Then the sum of all the elements of B ^ 100 is \_\_\_\_

Options

  1. A. A
  2. B. B
  3. C. C
  4. D. D

Answer

A. A

Step-by-step solution

A = I + bmatrix 2 & -4 \\ 1 & -2 bmatrix , let M = bmatrix 2 & -4 \\ 1 & -2 bmatrix M^2 = bmatrix 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 bmatrix = M^3 = M^4 = = M^ 100 A^ 100 = (I + M)^ 100 = _ r=0 ^ 100 100 r M^r I A^ 100 = I + 100M = I + 100B M = B M^ 100 = B^ 100 = bmatrix 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 bmatrix
