Solution
The correct option is B1 A=⎡⎢⎣−k23⎤⎥⎦
B=[−2−1−4]
∴AB=⎡⎢⎣2kk4k−4−2−8−6−3−12⎤⎥⎦
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
⇒+2k−2−12=−12...............(According to question)
