Correct answer: B

  1. Identify the matrix form

Given

A=12[13−31]=[1232−3212].A=\frac12\begin{bmatrix}1&\sqrt3\\-\sqrt3&1\end{bmatrix} =\begin{bmatrix}\frac12&\frac{\sqrt3}{2}\\-\frac{\sqrt3}{2}&\frac12\end{bmatrix}.A=21​[1−3​​3​1​]=[21​−23​​​23​​21​​].

Compare this with the standard rotation matrix

R(θ)=[cos⁡θ−sin⁡θsin⁡θcos⁡θ].R(\theta)=\begin{bmatrix}\cos\theta&-\sin\theta\\ \sin\theta&\cos\theta\end{bmatrix}.R(θ)=[cosθsinθ​−sinθcosθ​].

Our matrix is

A=[cos⁡θsin⁡θ−sin⁡θcos⁡θ]=R(−θ)A=\begin{bmatrix}\cos\theta&\sin\theta\\-\sin\theta&\cos\theta\end{bmatrix}=R(-\theta)A=[cosθ−sinθ​sinθcosθ​]=R(−θ)

with

cos⁡θ=12,sin⁡θ=32.\cos\theta=\frac12,\qquad \sin\theta=\frac{\sqrt3}{2}.cosθ=21​,sinθ=23​​.

So,

θ=π3.\theta=\frac\pi3.θ=3π​.

Hence,

A=R(−π3).A=R\left(-\frac\pi3\right).A=R(−3π​).
  1. Find powers of AAA

For rotation matrices,

R(α)n=R(nα).R(\alpha)^n=R(n\alpha).R(α)n=R(nα).

Therefore,

An=R(−nπ3).A^n=R\left(-\frac{n\pi}{3}\right).An=R(−3nπ​).

So,

A30=R(−30π3)=R(−10π)=IA^{30}=R\left(-\frac{30\pi}{3}\right)=R(-10\pi)=IA30=R(−330π​)=R(−10π)=I

because rotation by any multiple of 2π2\pi2π is the identity.

Also,

A25=R(−25π3).A^{25}=R\left(-\frac{25\pi}{3}\right).A25=R(−325π​).

Reduce the angle modulo 2π=6π32\pi=\frac{6\pi}{3}2π=36π​:

−25π3≡−π3(mod2π).-\frac{25\pi}{3}\equiv -\frac{\pi}{3}\pmod{2\pi}.−325π​≡−3π​(mod2π).

Thus,

A25=R(−π3)=A.A^{25}=R\left(-\frac\pi3\right)=A.A25=R(−3π​)=A.

Hence,

A30=I,A25=A.A^{30}=I,\qquad A^{25}=A.A30=I,A25=A.
  1. Check each option

Option A

A30−A25=I−A.A^{30}-A^{25}=I-A.A30−A25=I−A.

This is not equal to 2I2I2I.

So, A is false.

Option B

A30+A25−A=I+A−A=I.A^{30}+A^{25}-A=I+A-A=I.A30+A25−A=I+A−A=I.

So, B is true.

Option C

A30=A25  ⟺  I=A,A^{30}=A^{25}\iff I=A,A30=A25⟺I=A,

which is false since A≠IA\neq IA=I.

So, C is false.

Option D

A30+A25+A=I+A+A=I+2A,A^{30}+A^{25}+A=I+A+A=I+2A,A30+A25+A=I+A+A=I+2A,

which is not equal to III.

So, D is false.

  1. Final answer

The correct option is

B\boxed{\text{B}}B​
