[acbd][acbd]=[1001] [a2+bcac+cdab+bdbc+d2]=[1001]b(a+d)=0,b=0 or a=−dc(a+d)=0,c=0 or a=−da2+bc=1,bc+d2=1 ' a ' and ' d ' are diagonal elements a+d=0 statement- 1 is correct. Now, det(A)=ad−bc Now, from (3) a2+bc=1 and d2+bc=1 So, a2−d2=0 Adding a2+d2+2bc=2 =(a+d)2−2ad+2bc=2 or 0−2(ad−bc)=2 So, ad−bc=1⇒det(A)=−1 So, statement −2 is also true. But statement −2 is not the correct explanation of statement-I
