Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Solution
A and B are non-singular matrices of order n.
This means and , so and both exist.
For statement (A): AB is non-singular.
Using the determinant property:
Since and :
Therefore, AB is non-singular.
Statement (A) is correct.
For statement (B): AB is singular.
From above, AB is non-singular.
Statement (B) is not correct.
For statement (C):
The inverse of a product reverses the order:
Statement (C) is not correct.
For statement (D): does not exist.
Since AB is non-singular, exists.
Statement (D) is not correct.
The statements that are not correct are (B), (C), and (D).
