If A = 1 2 1 3 - 3 1 then,

If A=1213-31 then,
  1. A30-A25=2I
  2. A30+A25+A=I
  3. A30+A25-A=I
  4. A30=A25

Solution

Given A=1213-31

A2=1413-3113-31

=141-3      23-23-3+1

A2=12-1     3-3-1

A3=14-1     3-3-1-1     3-3-1

A3=14-4     00-4=-1     001

A3=-I .....(1)

Now from equation 1,

A30=(-I)10=I .....(2)

Again from equation 1,

A25=A38.A=-I8.A

A25=A

A25-A=0 ......(3)

On adding equations 2 and 3 we get,

A30+A25-A=I
