If \(A\) and \(B\) are square matrices of the same order, then which of the following statements are correct?
(A) \(\left|A^{-1}\right|=|A|^{-1}\)
(B) \(\operatorname{adj}(A)=|A| A^{-1}\)
(C) \((A+B)^{-1}=B^{-1}+A^{-1}\)
(D) \((A B)^{-1}=B^{-1} A^{-1}\)
Choose the correct answer from the options given below :

  1. A (A), (B) and (D) only
  2. B (A), (B) and (C) only
  3. C (A), (C) and (D) only
  4. D (B), (C) and (D) only
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) (A), (B) and (D) only

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Statements (A), (B), and (D) are correct properties of matrices. (A) \( \left|A^{-1}\right|=|A|^{-1} \) (B) \( \operatorname{adj}(A)=|A| A^{-1} \) (C) \( (A+B)^{-1} \neq B^{-1}+A^{-1} \) (D) \( (A B)^{-1}=B^{-1} A^{-1} \) The correct option is (A), (B) and (D) only.
