If AA and BB are invertible matrices of order 3. If ∣A∣=2|A| = 2 and ∣(AB)−1∣=−16|(AB)^{-1}| = \dfrac{-1}{6}, then the value of ∣B∣|B| is :

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 2

Since ∣(AB)−1∣=1∣A∣∣B∣|(AB)^{-1}| = \frac{1}{|A||B|}, we get 12∣B∣=−16\frac{1}{2|B|} = -\frac{1}{6}. Hence 2∣B∣=−62|B| = -6 and ∣B∣=−3|B| = -3.
