Which of the following are correct?
(A) For a square matrix \(A\), if \(A^3=I\), then \(A^{-1}=A^2\).
(B) The determinant of only a square matrix can be defined.
(C) If \(A\) is a square matrix of order 3 , then the number of minors of the matrix \(A\) is 3 .
(D) If \(A\) and \(B\) are two non-singular matrices of the same order, then \((A B)^{-1}=B^{-1} A^{-1}\).
Choose the correct answer from the options given below :
- A (A), (B) and (D) only
- B (A), (B) and (C) only
- C (B) and (D) only
- D (C) and (D) only
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) (A), (B) and (D) only
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Statement (A): \(A^3=I \implies A^{-1}A^3 = A^{-1}I \implies A^2=A^{-1}\). Correct. Statement (B): Determinants are defined only for square matrices. Correct. Statement (C): For a matrix of order 3, there are \(3^2=9\) minors. Incorrect. Statement (D): The inverse of a product…

DNA Fingerprinting
Polymorphism in DNA sequence is the basis of genetic mapping of the human genome as well as of DNA fingerprinting. DNA fingerprinting involves identification of differences in some specific regions in the DNA sequence called repetitive DNA. It works on the principle of polymorphisms in DNA sequences. The repetitive DNA are separated from bulk genomic DNA. The bulk DNA forms a major peak and the other small peaks are referred to as satellite DNA. These repetitive/satellite DNA sequences show a high degree of polymorphisms and form the basis of DNA fingerprinting.
