If A and B are two non-singular matrices of same order, then which of the following statements are not correct ?

A. AB is non singular.

B. (A+B)−1=B−1+A−1(A+B)^{-1} = B^{-1}+A^{-1}.

C. adj (AB) = adj B. adj A.

D. AB is not invertible.

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 1

∣AB∣=∣A∣∣B∣≠0|AB|=|A||B|\neq 0, so A is correct and D is not correct.

Inverses do not distribute over sums, so B is not correct.

adj(AB)=adj B⋅adj A\mathrm{adj}(AB)=\mathrm{adj}\,B\cdot\mathrm{adj}\,A is a standard identity, so C is correct.

The incorrect statements are B and D.
