  1. A 1
  2. B 2
  3. C 3
  4. D 0
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 3

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( A^T = -A \) \(B =( I + A )( I - A )^{-1}\) \(B ^{ T }=\left(( I - A )^{-1}\right)^{ T }( I + A )^{ T }\) \(B^T=\left(I-A^T\right)^{-1}\left(I+A^T\right)\) \(B ^{ T }=( I + A )^{-1}( I + A )\) \(B ^{ T } B =( I + A )^{-1}( I - A )( I + A )( I - A )^{-1}\)…
