If `{:A=[(alpha,0),(1,1)]andB=[(1,0),(5,1)]:}`, then te value of `alpha` for which `A^2=B`, isA. 1B. -1C. 4D. no real values

Answer» Correct Answer - D
We have,
`A^2=B`
`rArr {:[(alpha,0),(1,1)][(alpha,0),(1,1)]=[(1,0),(5,1)]:}`
`rArr {:[(a^2,0),(1,1)]=[(1,0),(5,1)]:}`
`rArr alpha^2-1 and alpha+1-5`
Clearly, these two equations are inconsistent.
Hence, there is no value of `alpha` satisfying `A^2=B`.
