Let A be a 2×2 real matrix with entries from 0, 1 and A0. Consider the following two statements;

P If Al2, then A=-1

Q If A=1, then trA=2

Where l2 denotes 2×2 identity matrix and trA denotes the sum of the diagonal entries of A. Then

Options:

Answer:
D
Solution:

Let A=abcd  a,b,c,d{0,1}

A=ad-bc0

 ad=1,bc=0  or  ad=0,bc=1

P

If AI2ad1ad=0,bc=1|A|=-1

P is true.

Q 

If A=1ad=1,bc=0 tr(A)=2

Q is true.
