Let $A = [a_{ij}]_{2×3}$ and $B = [b_{ij}]_{3×2}$, then $|5AB|$ is equal to |
$5^2. |A|.|B|$ $5^3. |A|.|B|$ $5^2|AB|$ $5^3 |AB|$ |
$5^2|AB|$ |
The correct answer is Option (3) → $5^2|AB|$ $A$ is of order $2\times3$ and $B$ is of order $3\times2$ Hence $AB$ is a square matrix of order $2\times2$ Property of determinant $|kM|=k^n|M|$ for an $n\times n$ matrix $M$ Here $AB$ is $2\times2$ and scalar multiplier is $5$ $|5AB|=5^2|AB|$ The value of $|5AB|$ is $5^2|AB|$. |
