JEE Main 2024Matrices Question with Solution

JEE Main 2024 (27 Jan Shift 1)

Question

Consider the matrix fx=cosx-sinx0sinxcosx0001. Given below are two statements :
Statement I:f(-x) is the inverse of the matrix f(x).
Statement II: f(x) f(y)=f(x+y).
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below

Correct answer
DBoth Statement I and Statement II are true

Step-by-step explanation

Given: fx=cosx-sinx0sinxcosx0001

f-x=cosxsinx0-sinxcosx0001

fx×f-x=cosx-sinx0sinxcosx0001cosxsinx0-sinxcosx0001

fx×f-x=100010001

fx×f-x=I

f-x=f-1x

Hence statement-I is correct

Now, checking statement II

fy=cosy-siny0sinycosy0001

fxfy=cosx-sinx0sinxcosx0001cosy-siny0sinycosy0001

fxfy=cosxcosy-sinxsiny-cosxsiny-sinxcosy0sinxcosy+cosxsiny-sinxsiny+cosxcosy0001

fxfy=cos(x+y)-sin(x+y)0sin(x+y)cos(x+y)0001

f(x)·f(y)=f(x+y)

Hence statement-II is also correct.
