Matrices

Question:

Let A and B be two non-singular, square matrices of same order, and

A. (AB)–1 = B–1.A–1

B. (A + B)–1 = B–1 + A–1

C. adj. A = |A|.A–1

D. det(A–1) = [det A]–1

Choose the correct answer from the options given below

Options:

A and B only

B and C only

B and D only

A, C and D only

Correct Answer:

A, C and D only

Explanation:

A. (AB)–1 = B–1.A–1

B. (A + B)–1 ≠ B–1 + A–1

C. adj. A = |A|1

$adj(A) = |A|\frac{1}{A}⇒|A|.A^{-1}$

D. det(A–1) = [det A]–1

∴ A, C, & D options are correct.

So option 4th is correct.
