Now, checking statement II

cos y − sin y 0
⎡ ⎤
f (y) = ⎢ sin y cos y 0⎥
⎣ ⎦
0 0 1

cos(x + y) − sin(x + y) 0
⎡ ⎤

f (x) ⋅ f (y) = ⎢ sin(x + y) cos(x + y) 0⎥

⎣ ⎦
0 0 1

⇒ f (x) ⋅ f (y) = f (x + y)

Hence statement-II is also correct.

Q4

|A − xI | = 0

Roots are -1 and 3

Sum of roots = tr(A) = 2

Product of roots = |A| = −3
