# Solution for If a is a Square Matrix Such that A2 = I, Then A−1 is Equal to (A) a + I (B) a (C) 0 (D) 2a - CBSE (Science) Class 12 - Mathematics

#### Question

If A is a square matrix such that A2 = I, then A1 is equal to
(a) A + I
(b) A
(c) 0
(d) 2A

#### Solution

(b) A
$\text{ Given: }\hspace{0.167em} A^2 = I$
$\text{ Given: }\hspace{0.167em} A^2 = I$
On multiplying both sides by
$A^{- 1}$ , we get

$A^{- 1} A^2 = A^{- 1} I$
$\Rightarrow A = A^{- 1} I$
$\Rightarrow A = A^{- 1}$
Is there an error in this question or solution?
