Solution

The correct option is D No value of (x,y) exists.
BA=[1221][2x21y] =[2x222y4x+14+y]=[0000]
Equating element in first row,
2x2=0 and 22y=0
x=1,y=1
Equating elements from second row, we get
4x+1=0 and 4+y=0
as (1,1) does not satisfy above equations.
No possible value of (x,y) exists such that BA=O.
