    If \[A=\left[ \begin{matrix}    10  \\    -17  \\ \end{matrix} \right]\]and \[{{A}^{2}}=8A+K{{I}_{2}},\]then K is equal to

    A)  -1                          

    B)         1                            

    C)  -7                          

    D)         7

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    \[\because \]     \[{{A}^{2}}\left[ \begin{matrix}    1 & 0  \\    -1 & 7  \\ \end{matrix} \right]\left[ \begin{matrix}    1 & 0  \\    -1 & 7  \\ \end{matrix} \right]=\left[ \begin{matrix}    1 & 0  \\    -8 & 49  \\ \end{matrix} \right]\] and  \[8A+K{{l}_{2}}=8\left[ \begin{matrix}    1 & 0  \\    -1 & 7  \\ \end{matrix} \right]+K\left[ \begin{matrix}    1 & 0  \\    0 & 1  \\ \end{matrix} \right]\]                 \[=\left[ \begin{matrix}    8+K & 0  \\    -8 & 56+K  \\ \end{matrix} \right]\] \[\therefore \]  \[{{A}^{2}}=8A+K{{l}_{2}}\] \[\therefore \]  \[\left[ \begin{matrix}    1 & 0  \\    -8 & 49  \\ \end{matrix} \right]=\left[ \begin{matrix}    8+K & 0  \\    -8 & 56+K  \\ \end{matrix} \right]\] On comparing, we get \[8+K\text{ }=\text{ }1\] \[\therefore \]  \[K=-7\]
