Q67.Let A be a 2 × 2 matrix with det(A) = −1 and det((A + I)(Adj(A) + I)) = 4 . Then the sum of the diagonal elements of A can be: (1) −1 (2) 2 (3) 1 (4) −√2

What This Question Tests

This question requires advanced properties of determinants and adjoints, especially for a 2x2 matrix, to find the sum of diagonal elements (trace) given complex determinant relations.

Concepts Tested

Determinant of a matrixAdjoint of a matrixProperties of adjoint and inverseTrace of a matrix

Formulas Used

A Adj(A) = det(A)I

det(AB) = det(A)det(B)

det(A + I) = (trace(A) + 1)(trace(A⁻¹) + 1) * det(A) when A is 2x2
