The correct answer is: 5
Method I

We evaluate A2 and A3 and write the given equation as AA1=I=16A3+cA2+dA .

Comparing the corresponding elements on both the sides, we get c =-6, d=11.

Method II

Characteristic equation for A is A-xI=0=1-x0001-x10-24-x=0

1-x1-x4-x+2=0

Hence characteristic equation is x3-6x2+11x-6=0

Then by Caley Hamilton theorem

A3-6A2+11A-6I=0

multiply by A-1 both the sides,

we get 16A2-6A+11I=A-1 ...(i)

given A-1=16A2+cA+d ...(ii)

then from equation (i) and (ii)

we get c=-6d=11

then c+d=5
