Options
- A1 16
- B6
- C4
- D16
Correct answer
A. 1 16
Step-by-step solution
Given that A and B are invertible matrices of the same order, we have the property |(AB)⁻¹| = 1 |AB| . Since |AB| = |A| |B| , we can write |(AB)⁻¹| = 1 |A| |B| . Given |(AB)⁻¹| = 8 and |A| = 2 , we substitute these values into the equation: 8 = 1 2 |B| Rearranging the equation to solve for |B| : |B| = 1 2 8 = 1 16 Answer: 1 16
