Nilpotent index from nullity

Let be an linear transformation. Suppose that (1, −1, 2, 4, 0), (4, 6, 1, 6, 0) and (5, 5, 3, 9, 0) span the null space of T. Which of the following statements are true?

  1. A.The rank of T is equal to 2.
  2. B.Suppose that for every vector there exists n such that . Then must be zero.
  3. C.Suppose that for every vector there exists n such that . Then must be zero.
  4. D.(−2, −8, 3, 2, 0) is contained in the null space of T.

The answer and working come with the PYQ pack.
