Inverse of a Matrix
If A and B ar...
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
=
a
i
j
and
B
=
b
i
j
be
a
square
matrix
of
order
2
.
As
their
orders
are
same
,
A
+
B
is
defined
as
A
+
B
=
a
i
j
+
b
i
j
⇒
A
+
B
=
a
i
j
+
b
i

Now
,
A
+
B
=
0
⇒
a

j
=
0
⇒
a

j
+
b

j
=
0
each
corrsponding
term
is
0
⇒
A
+
B
=
0
