Question

$\text{A, B, C}$ are three non$-$null square matrices of the same order, write the condition on $A$ such that $AB = AC$ $\Rightarrow B = C.$

✓

Answer

Consider $AB = AC$.
On multiplying both sides by $A^{-1},$ we get $AA^{-1}B = AA^{-1}$
$\Rightarrow IB = IC\ [$Because $AA^{-1} = I$ where $I$ is the identity matrix$]$
$\Rightarrow B = C$
Therefore, the required condition is $A$ must be invertible or $|\text{A}|\neq0$.
