If two non – singular matrices A and B of same order obeys AB=BA=I, then B is
A)A=B−1 B)B=A C)B=A−1 D)A=B
Solution
Split the given equation in two parts, and equate both the equations separately. Multiply A−1 and B−1 correspondingly to the splitted equation, to find the value of A and B.
Useful formula: The basic formula which is used in this problem is AA−1=1 as well as BB−1=1. Another formula which is used in the problem is A−1I=A−1 as like that B−1I=B1.
Complete step by step solution:
Given that, A and B are two non – singular matrices. Both A and B obeys the orderAB=BA=I.
Now, we want to find the order B if it obeys the given order.
If A and B are two non – singular matrices, then
AB=BA=I
Now, split the above equation in two parts as follows,
AB=I→(1)
BA=I→(2)
Now, consider equation(2):
BA=I
The above carries B as the initial value, so multiply the above equation with B−1 to get the value of A:
Multiply the above equation with B−1 on both sides of the equation:
B−1BA=B−1I
By using the formula, B−1I=B−1 substitute the relation in above equation:
B−1BA=B−1
By using the formula BB−1=1, the above will become as follows:
(1)A=B−1
Thus, the value of A is
A=B−1
As like equation (2), solve the equation (1) as follows:
The above carries A as the initial value, so multiply the above equation with A−1to get the value of B:
Multiply the above equation with A−1 on both sides of the equation:
A−1AB=A−1I
By using the formula, A−1I=A−1 substitute the relation in above equation:
A−1AB=A−1
By using the formula, the above will become as follows:
(1)B=A−1
Thus, the value of B is
B=A−1
By solving the given equation of AB=BA=I, we have found the value of A and B:
A=B−1
B=A−1
With the help of above given equation, we have found the value of B as
B=A−1
Thus, the option is the answer.
Note:
Multiply of the variable and its inverse should always be 1 and the multiply of inverse of variable and I should always be inverse of variable. To find the value of B multiply the equation (2)with A−1.
