Solution

The correct option is B 1
A=k23

B=[214]

AB=2kk4k4286312

The trace (often abbreviated to tr) of a square matrix A is defined to be the sum of elements on the main diagonal (from the upper left to the lower right) of A.

Tr(AB)=Summation of diagonal elements=12

+2k212=12...............(According to question)

2k=1412=2

k=1

k=1

Hence, option B.
