Question

If A is a square matrix such that A2 = A, then |A| equals- 

  1. 0 or 1    
  2. –2 or 2    
  3. –3 or 3    
  4. None of these    

The correct answer is: 0 or 1


    A2 = A rightwards double arrow|A2| = |A| rightwards double arrow|A|2 – |A| = 0
    |A| [|A|– 1] = 0 rightwards double arrow|A| = 0 or |A| = 1
