Determinants, Adjoint & Inverse · Question 55 of 87

Question 55

MediumOriginal question

Read the two statements and choose the correct option.

I. (AB)−1=B−1A−1(AB)^{-1} = B^{-1}A^{-1} for invertible matrices AA and BB of the same order.

II. (A′)−1=(A−1)′(A')^{-1} = (A^{-1})' for an invertible matrix AA.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

  1. (AB)(B−1A−1)=A(BB−1)A−1=AA−1=I(AB)(B^{-1}A^{-1}) = A(BB^{-1})A^{-1} = AA^{-1} = I, so I is true.

  2. Transposing AA−1=IAA^{-1} = I gives (A−1)′A′=I(A^{-1})'A' = I, so II is true as well.
