Which of the following is (are) NOT the square of a `3xx3` matrix with real entries ?A. `[(1,0,0),(0,1,0),(0,0,-1)]`B. `[(1,0,0),(0,-1,0),(0,0,-1)]`C. `[(-1,0,0),(0,-1,0),(0,0,-1)]`D. `[(1,0,0),(0,1,0),(0,0,1)]` |

Answer» Correct Answer - A::C `A=B^(2)implies |A|=|B|^(2)=`+ve (1) `|(1,0,0),(0,1,0),(0,0,-1)|=1(-1) lt 0` Matrix B can not possible. (2) `|(1,0,0),(0,-1,0),(0,0,-1)|=1 (1-0) gt 0` (3) `|(-1,0,0),(0,-1,0),(0,0,-1)|=-1 lt 0` Matrix B can not be possible. (4) `|(1,0,0),(0,1,0),(0,0,1)|=1 gt 0` Matrix B can be `I` (identity matrix). |
