Answer

Given,

A=[0010]A2=[0010][0010]=[0×0+0×10×0+0×01×0+0×11×0+0×0]=[0000] A2=O.\text{A} = \begin{bmatrix}[r] 0 & 0 \ 1 & 0 \end{bmatrix} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \text{A}^2 = \begin{bmatrix}[r] 0 & 0 \ 1 & 0 \end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix}[r] 0 & 0 \ 1 & 0 \end{bmatrix} \\[1em] = \begin{bmatrix}[r] 0 \times 0 + 0 \times 1 & 0 \times 0 + 0 \times 0 \ 1 \times 0 + 0 \times 1 & 1 \times 0 + 0 \times 0 \end{bmatrix} \\[1em] = \begin{bmatrix}[r] 0 & 0 \ 0 & 0 \end{bmatrix} \\[1em]\ \therefore \text{A}^2 = O.

∴ Option 2 is the correct option.
