Question:

If A is an involuntary matrix given by $A=\begin{bmatrix}0&1&-1\\4&-3&4\\3&-3&4\end{bmatrix}$, then the inverse of $\frac{1}{2}A$ will be

Options:

$2A$

$\frac{1}{2}A^{-1}$

$\frac{1}{2}A$

$A^2$

Correct Answer:

$2A$

Explanation:

It is given that A is an involutory matrix.

$∴A^2=I$

$⇒AA=I⇒(\frac{1}{2}A)(2A)=I⇒(\frac{1}{2}A)^{-1}=(2A)$
