Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Rearrange the equations so that the diagonal coefficient of each equation is 1:

From 3x + y = 10:
x = 10/3 - y/3.

From x + y/2 = 9, multiply by 2:
2x + y = 18,
y = 18 - 2x.

So the off-diagonal coefficients in the normalized iterative form are -1/3 and -2. The corresponding iteration-coefficient matrix has entries:

[[0, -1/3], [-2, 0]].

The Frobenius norm is:

||B||F = √(0² + (-1/3)² + (-2)² + 0²)
     = √(1/9 + 4)
     = √(37/9)
     ≈ 2.03.

Among the given options, this is 2.0.
