    If \[A=\left[ \begin{matrix}    i & 0  \\    0 & -i  \\ \end{matrix} \right],B=\left[ \begin{matrix}    0 & i  \\    i & 0  \\ \end{matrix} \right]\], where \[i=\sqrt{-1}\], then the correct relation is

    A) \[A+B=O\]

    B) \[{{A}^{2}}={{B}^{2}}\]

    C) \[A-B=O\]

    D) \[{{A}^{2}}+{{B}^{2}}=O\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Relation \[{{A}^{2}}={{B}^{2}}\]is true because \[{{A}^{2}}=\left[ \begin{matrix}    -1 & 0  \\    0 & -1  \\ \end{matrix} \right]\] and \[{{B}^{2}}=\left[ \begin{matrix}    -1 & 0  \\    0 & -1  \\ \end{matrix} \right]\]have same matrices.
