If A is non-singular and (A-2I)(A-4I)=0 ...

If `A` is non-singular and `(A-2I)(A-4I)=0 , then ,1/6A+4/3A^(-1)` is equal to
a.`0I ` b. `2I` c. `6I` d. `I`

A

`O`

B

`I`

C

`2I`

D

`6I`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
We have,
`(A-2I) (A-4I)=O`
or `A^(2)-2A-4A+8I=O`
or `A^(2)-6A+8I=O`
or `A^(-1) (A^(2)-6A+8I)=A^(-1)O`
or `A-6I+8A^(-1) =O`
or `A+8A^(-1)=6I`
or `1/6 A+4/3 A^(-1)=1`
