    If\[A=\left[ \begin{matrix}    0 & 1  \\    0 & 0  \\ \end{matrix} \right],\,\,\,I\]is the unit matrix of order\[2\] and \[a,\,\,\,b\]are arbitary constants, then \[{{(aI+bA)}^{2}}\] is equal to

    A) \[{{a}^{2}}I-abA\]                           

    B) \[{{a}^{2}}I+2abA\]

    C) \[{{a}^{2}}I+{{b}^{2}}A\]                              

    D)  none of these

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Given,\[A=\left[ \begin{matrix}    0 & 1  \\    0 & 0  \\ \end{matrix} \right]\]             \[I=\left[ \begin{matrix}    1 & 0  \\    0 & 1  \\ \end{matrix} \right]\]                 \[{{(aI+bA)}^{2}}=(aI+bA)(aI+bA)\]                 \[={{a}^{2}}{{I}^{2}}+aI(bA)+bA(aI)+{{(bA)}^{2}}\]                 \[={{a}^{2}}{{I}^{2}}2abIA+({{b}^{2}}{{A}^{2}})\] Now,\[{{I}^{2}}=I\]and\[IA=A\] \[\therefore \]  \[{{(aI+bA)}^{2}}={{a}^{2}}I+2abA+{{b}^{2}}({{A}^{2}})\] Now,     \[{{A}^{2}}=\left[ \begin{matrix}    0 & 1  \\    0 & 0  \\ \end{matrix} \right]\left[ \begin{matrix}    0 & 1  \\    0 & 0  \\ \end{matrix} \right]=\left[ \begin{matrix}    0 & 0  \\    0 & 0  \\ \end{matrix} \right]\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[{{A}^{2}}=0\] \[\therefore \]  \[{{(aI+bA)}^{2}}={{a}^{2}}I+2abA\]
