MCQ
If $A, B$ are two $n \times n$ non-singular matrices, then
  • $AB$ is non-singular.
  • B
    $AB$ is singular.
  • C
    $(AB)^{-1} A^{-1} B^{-1}.$
  • D
    $(AB)^{-1}$ does not exist.

Answer

Correct option: A.
$AB$ is non-singular.

$A$ and $B$ are non-singular matrices of order $n \times n.$
$\therefore|\text{A}|\neq0\text{ and }|\text{B}|\neq0\ .....(\text{i})$
$A$ and $B$ are of the same order, so $AB$ is defined and is of the same order.
Thus,
$|AB| = |A||B|$
$\Rightarrow|\text{AB}|\neq0\ \big[\text{Using (1)}\big]$
Thus, $Ab$ is non-singular.
