    If\[A=\left[ \begin{matrix}    1 & 0 & 0  \\    0 & 1 & 0  \\    a & b & -1  \\ \end{matrix} \right]\]and\[I\]is the unit matrix of order 3, then\[{{A}^{2}}+2{{A}^{4}}+4{{A}^{6}}\]is equal to

    A)  \[7{{A}^{8}}\]                  

    B)         \[7{{A}^{7}}\]

    C)  \[8I\]                   

    D)         \[6I\]

    E)  \[I\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    \[A=\left[ \begin{matrix}    1 & 0 & 0  \\    0 & 1 & 0  \\    a & b & -1  \\ \end{matrix} \right]\] \[{{A}^{2}}=\left[ \begin{matrix}    1 & 0 & 0  \\    0 & 1 & 0  \\    a & b & -1  \\ \end{matrix} \right]\left[ \begin{matrix}    1 & 0 & 0  \\    0 & 1 & 0  \\    a & b & -1  \\ \end{matrix} \right]\] \[{{A}^{2}}=\left[ \begin{matrix}    1 & 0 & 0  \\    0 & 1 & 0  \\    0 & 0 & 1  \\ \end{matrix} \right]={{I}_{3}}\] ?.. (i) \[{{A}^{4}}={{A}^{2}}.{{A}^{2}}={{I}_{3}}.{{I}_{3}}={{({{I}_{3}})}^{2}}={{I}_{3}}\] \[{{A}^{6}}={{A}^{2}}.{{A}^{4}}={{I}_{3}}.{{I}_{3}}={{({{I}_{3}})}^{2}}={{I}_{3}}\] Now,     \[{{A}^{2}}+2{{A}^{4}}+4{{A}^{6}}\]                 \[={{I}_{3}}+2{{I}_{3}}+4{{I}_{3}}\]                 \[=7{{I}_{3}}+7{{({{I}_{3}})}^{4}}\]                 \[=7{{({{A}^{2}})}^{4}}=7{{A}^{8}}\]                        [From Eq. (i)]
