Question:

If P and Q are non-singular square matrices of the same order, then $(PQ^{-1})^{-1}$ equals

Options:

$PQ$

$P^{-1}Q$

$P^{-1}Q^{-1}$

$QP^{-1}$

Correct Answer:

$QP^{-1}$

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (4) → $QP^{-1}$

Given: $P$ and $Q$ are non-singular square matrices

We need: $(PQ^{-1})^{-1}$

Use property: $(AB)^{-1} = B^{-1} A^{-1}$

$(PQ^{-1})^{-1} = (Q^{-1})^{-1} P^{-1} = Q P^{-1}$
