The correct answer is: 3212-1232
A=cosθ-sinθsinθcosθA=cosθ-sinθsinθcosθ=cos2θ+sin2θ=1

And adjA=cosθsinθ-sinθcosθ

A-1=1AadjA=cosθsinθ-sinθcosθ

A-2=A-12=A-1A-1

=cosθsinθ-sinθcosθcosθsinθ-sinθcosθ

=cos2θ-sin2θ2sinθcosθ-2sinθcosθcos2θ-sin2θ

=cos2θsin2θ-sin2θcos2θ

It is visible that

A-1n=cosnθsinnθ-sinnθcosnθ

A-50=A-150=cos50θsin50θ-sin50θcos50θ

Now at θ=π12,sin50θ=sin50π12=sinπ6=12

cos50θ=cosπ6=32

A-50=3212-1232
