Let \(X\) and \(Y\) be any two invertible square matrices of order \(n\). Then which of the statements are true?
(A) \((A B)^{-1}=A^{-1} B^{-1}\)
(B) \((A B)^{-1}=B^{-1} A^{-1}\)
(C) \((A B)^T=A^T B^T\), where \(A^T\) denotes transpose of A
(D) \((A B)^T=B^T A^T\), where \(A^T\) denotes transpose of A
Choose the correct answer from the options given below :

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

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) (B) and (D) Only

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

(A) \((A B)^{-1}=A^{-1} B^{-1}\): False. The correct rule for the inverse of a product is the "socks and shoes" property, which states \((A B)^{-1}=B^{-1} A^{-1}\). (B) \((A B)^{-1}=B^{-1} A^{-1}\): True. This is the fundamental property for the inverse of a product of matrices.…
