CBSE Class 12 Mathematics 2026 Main Paper 65/4/2 · Question 27 (Matrices)

For A=[[1,2,2],[2,1,2],[2,2,1]], compute A²−4A−5I.

✅ Step-by-Step Solution

Final Answer: Zero matrix.
  1. Multiplication gives A²=[[9,8,8],[8,9,8],[8,8,9]].
  2. Subtracting 4A leaves 5 on the diagonal and zero elsewhere.
  3. Subtract 5I to obtain the zero matrix.
