Matrices A and B will be inverse of each other only if
Matrices A and B will be inverse of each other only if
AB = BA
AB = BA = 0
AB = 0, BA = I
AB = BA = I
The Correct Option is D
Solution and Explanation
We know that if A is a square matrix of order m, and if there exists another square matrix B of the same order m, such that AB = BA = I, then B is said to be the inverse of A.
In this case, it is clear that A is the inverse of B.
Thus, matrices A and B will be inverses of each other only if AB = BA = I.
Top Questions on Matrices
- Let \( A = \begin{bmatrix} 1 & -2 & -1 \\ 0 & 4 & -1 \\ -3 & 2 & 1 \end{bmatrix}, B = \begin{bmatrix} -5 \\ -2 \end{bmatrix}, C = [9 \ \ 7], \) which of the following is defined?
- If \[ \begin{bmatrix} 4 + x & x - 1 \\ -2 & 3 \end{bmatrix} \] is a singular matrix, then the value of \( x \) is:
If \[ A = \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 2 & 0 \\ -2 & -1 & -2 \\ 0 & -1 & 1 \end{bmatrix} \] then find \( A^{-1} \). Hence, solve the system of linear equations: \[ x - 2y = 10, \] \[ 2x - y - z = 8, \] \[ -2y + z = 7. \]
- Find x, y, z if
\[ \begin{bmatrix} 5 & 1 & 0 \\ 1 & 1 & 1 \end{bmatrix} \begin{bmatrix} 0 & 1 & -2 \\ 1 & -2 & 3 \\ -1 & 1 & 1 \end{bmatrix} \begin{bmatrix} x-1 \\ y+1 \\ 2z \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} 2 \\ 1 \end{bmatrix}. \] - Solve the following equations by the method of inversion: \( 2x-y+z=1 \), \( x+2y+3z=8 \), \( 3x+y-4z=1 \).

Invertible matrices
A matrix for which matrix inversion operation exists, given that it satisfies the requisite conditions is known as an invertible matrix. Any given square matrix A of order n × n is called invertible if and only if there exists, another n × n square matrix B such that, AB = BA = In, where In is an identity matrix of order n × n.
For example,
It can be observed that the determinant of the following matrices is non-zero.
