Let

\mathrm{A}

, other than

\mathrm{I}

-\mathrm{I}

, be a

2 \times 2

real matrix such that

\mathrm{A}^2=\mathrm{I}

, I being the unit matrix. Let

\operatorname{Tr}(\mathrm{A})

be the sum of diagonal elements of

\mathrm{A}

.
Statement-1:

\operatorname{Tr}(\mathrm{A})=0

Statement-2:

\operatorname{det}(\mathrm{A})=-1

View answer and explanation

Correct option: B

Statement-1 is true; Statement-2 is true; Statement-2 is not a correct explanation for Statement-1

Option B (Statement-1 is true; Statement-2 is true; Statement-2 is not a correct explanation for Statement-1) is correct because Tr(A) = 0 and det(A) = -1, but the determinant doesn't directly explain the trace.
