Solution

The correct option is C M4k+3

As we know that
MM1 =I
Let M1 = M4k+n [as per options given]
M.M4k+n=I
M.M4k.Mn=I
M.(M4)k.Mn=I
Mn+1.I=I [ M^{4} =1-given )]

Now, if n = 3, then Mn+I=M4=1
Hence, M4.1=1
I.I=I n=3
identity is satisfied
Hence, (c)

Method II:
M4=I
i.e., M.M3=I (given)
But we know that
MM1=I

Hence on comparison
M1=M3
so for K = 1, only option (c)
satisfies above condition.
