Step 1
To show that the given matrix B commutes with the other two matrices,
B=[abcd] commutes with [1000] and [0001]
To find the conditions on a, b, c, d.
For commutativity,
AB=BA
Step 2
Now, B=[abcd] commutes with [1000]
[abcd][1000]=[1000][abcd]
[a0c0]=[ab00]
So, a=a, b=c=d=0
Also, B=[abcd] commutes with [0001]
[abcd][0001]=[0001][abcd]
[0b0d]=[00cd]
So, d=d, a=b=c0
