    If \[A=\left[ \begin{matrix}    \cos x & \sin x  \\    -\sin x & \cos x  \\ \end{matrix} \right],\]then the inverse of A  is where n = 1, 2, 3, ?:

    A) \[\left[ \begin{matrix}    {{\cos }^{n}}x & {{\sin }^{n}}x  \\    -{{\sin }^{n}}x & {{\cos }^{n}}x  \\ \end{matrix} \right]\]                                   

    B)  \[\left[ \begin{matrix}    {{\cos }^{2}}nx & {{\sin }^{2}}nx  \\    -{{\sin }^{2}}nx & {{\cos }^{2}}nx  \\ \end{matrix} \right]\]

    C)                         \[\left[ \begin{matrix}    \cos nx & \sin nx  \\    -\sin \,nx & \cos \,nx  \\ \end{matrix} \right]\]   

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

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    We have \[A=\left[ \begin{matrix}    \cos x & \sin x  \\    -\sin x & \cos x  \\ \end{matrix} \right]\] Now, \[{{A}^{2}}=\left[ \begin{matrix}    \cos x & \sin x  \\    -\sin x & \cos x  \\ \end{matrix} \right]\left[ \begin{matrix}    \cos x & \sin x  \\    -\sin x & \cos x  \\ \end{matrix} \right]\]                 \[=\left[ \begin{matrix}    {{\cos }^{2}}x+{{\sin }^{2}}x-\sin x\cos x+\sin x\cos x  \\    -\sin x\cos x+\cos x\sin x{{\sin }^{2}}x+{{\cos }^{2}}x  \\    {}  \\ \end{matrix} \right]\] \[=\left[ \begin{matrix}    1 & 0  \\    0 & 1  \\ \end{matrix} \right]\]                 \[\therefore \]  \[{{A}^{n}}={{\left[ \begin{matrix}    1 & 0  \\    0 & 1  \\ \end{matrix} \right]}^{n-1}}\]                                 \[=\left[ \begin{matrix}    1 & 0  \\    0 & 1  \\ \end{matrix} \right]\]
