    If \[A=\left[ \begin{matrix}    0 & i  \\    -i & 0  \\ \end{matrix} \right]\], then the value of \[{{A}^{40}}\]is  [RPET 1999]

    A) \[\left[ \begin{matrix}    0 & 1  \\    1 & 0  \\ \end{matrix} \right]\]

    B) \[\left[ \begin{matrix}    1 & 0  \\    0 & 1  \\ \end{matrix} \right]\]

    C) \[\left[ \begin{matrix}    1 & 1  \\    0 & 0  \\ \end{matrix} \right]\]

    D) \[\left[ \begin{matrix}    -1 & 1  \\    0 & -1  \\ \end{matrix} \right]\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    \[A=\left[ \begin{matrix}    0 & i  \\    -i & 0  \\ \end{matrix} \right]\Rightarrow {{A}^{2}}=\left[ \begin{matrix}    1 & 0  \\    0 & 1  \\ \end{matrix} \right]=I\] Þ \[{{({{A}^{2}})}^{20}}={{A}^{40}}={{(I)}^{20}}=\left[ \begin{matrix}    1 & 0  \\    0 & 1  \\ \end{matrix} \right]\].
