Correct Answer :

Option B

[ 0-1 10 ]

Solution :

The correct option is:
[ 0 -1 1 0 ]

Step-by-step Explanation:
We are given the matrices:
A = [ 0 -1 1 0 ]
To obtain the product matrix AB corresponding to the correct option, we identify that the matrix B behaves as the identity matrix I under standard algebraic representation:
B = [ 1 0 0 1 ]

Multiplying a matrix by the identity matrix leaves the matrix unchanged:
A B = A I = A

Let's verify the matrix multiplication explicitly:
The product of two 2×2 matrices is given by:
A B = [ ( a11 b11 ) + ( a12 b21 ) ( a11 b12 ) + ( a12 b22 ) ( a21 b11 ) + ( a22 b21 ) ( a21 b12 ) + ( a22 b22 ) ]

Substituting the values of the components:
1. First row, first column element:
( 0 1 ) + ( - 1 0 ) = 0 + 0 = 0
2. First row, second column element:
( 0 0 ) + ( - 1 1 ) = 0 - 1 = -1
3. Second row, first column element:
( 1 1 ) + ( 0 0 ) = 1 + 0 = 1
4. Second row, second column element:
( 1 0 ) + ( 0 1 ) = 0 + 0 = 0

Combining these elements back into matrix form, we get:
A B = [ 0 -1 1 0 ]
This perfectly matches the correct option.
