Question:

If $A$ and $B$ are square matrices of the same order $3$, such that $|A| = 2$ and $AB = 2I$, write the value of $|B|$.

Options:

1

2

3

4

Correct Answer:

4

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (4) → 4 ##

$AB = 2I$

$\Rightarrow |AB| = |2I|$

$\Rightarrow |A| \cdot |B| = 2^3|I|$

$\Rightarrow 2 \times |B| = 8$

$\Rightarrow |B| = 4$
