Statement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option isA
Solution and Explanation
Statement (I) is true because the determinant of a matrix and its transpose are always equal. Statement (II) is also true by the property of determinants, which states that det(AB) = det(A) det(B).
