CBSE Class 12 Mathematics 2026 Main Paper 65/4/1 · Question 27 (Matrices)

For A=[[3,2,0],[1,4,0],[0,0,5]], find A²−7A+10I.

✅ Step-by-Step Solution

Final Answer: Zero matrix.
  1. Multiply A by itself to get [[11,14,0],[7,18,0],[0,0,25]].
  2. Subtract 7A to get diag(−10,−10,−10).
  3. Adding 10I gives the zero matrix.
