Question:

If $A =\begin{bmatrix}\cos θ&-\sin θ\\\sin θ&\cos θ\end{bmatrix}$, then $A^T+A=I_2$, if

Options:

$θ=nп, n∈Z$

$θ=(2n+1)\frac{п}{2},n∈Z$

$θ=2nп+\frac{п}{3},n∈Z$

none of these

Correct Answer:

$θ=2nп+\frac{п}{3},n∈Z$

Explanation:

We have,

$A^T+A=I_2$

$⇒\begin{bmatrix}\cos θ&\sin θ\\-\sin θ&\cos θ\end{bmatrix}+\begin{bmatrix}\cos θ&-\sin θ\\\sin θ&\cos θ\end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}1&0\\0&1\end{bmatrix}$

$⇒\cos θ=\frac{1}{2}=\cos \frac{п}{3}⇒θ=2nп±\frac{п}{3},n∈Z$
