If $\mathrm{I}=\left[\begin{array}{ll}1 & 0 \\ 0 & 1\end{array}\right], \mathrm{J}=\left[\begin{array}{cc}0 & 1 \\ -1 & 0\end{array}\right]$ and $\mathrm{B}=\left[\begin{array}{cc}\cos \theta & \sin \theta \\ -\sin \theta & \cos \theta\end{array}\right]$, then $\mathrm{B}$ is equal to

  • Correct answer
    A
    $\quad I \cos \theta+J \sin \theta$
  • B
    $I \sin \theta+J \cos \theta$
  • C
    I $\cos \theta-\mathrm{J} \sin \theta$
  • D
    $-\mathrm{I} \cos \theta+\mathrm{J} \sin \theta$

Solution

$$ \begin{aligned}\quad \mathrm{B} &=\left[\begin{array}{cc} \cos \theta & \sin \theta \\ -\sin \theta & \cos \theta \end{array}\right] \\ &=\left[\begin{array}{cc} \cos \theta & 0 \\ 0 & \cos \theta \end{array}\right]+\left[\begin{array}{cc} 0 & \sin \theta \\ -\sin \theta & 0 \end{array}\right] \\ &=\cos \theta\left[\begin{array}{ll} 1 & 0 \\ 0 & 1 \end{array}\right]+\sin \theta\left[\begin{array}{cc} 0 & 1 \\ -1 & 0 \end{array}\right] \\ &=\mathrm{I} \cos \theta+\mathrm{J} \sin \theta \end{aligned} $$

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
