Question

If A and B are square matrices of order 2, then det (A + B) = 0 is possible only when
(a) det (A) = 0 or det (B) = 0
(b) det (A) + det (B) = 0
(c) det (A) = 0 and det (B) = 0
(d) A + B = O

Open in App
Solution

(d) A + B = O

Let A= ai j and B=bi j be a square matrix of order 2.As their orders are same, A+B is defined asA + B = ai j + bi j A + B = ai j + bi j Now, A + B = 0ai j + bi j = 0ai j + bi j = 0 each corrsponding term is 0A + B =0
