Let A= [ array lll a & b & c b & c & a c & a & b array ] and B= [ array lll b c-a^2 & c a-b^2 & a b-c^2 c a-b^2 & a b-c^2 & b c-a^2 a b-c^2 & b c-a^2 & a c-b^2 array ] be two non-singular matrices such that (A^2-2 I ) B=O where a>b>c>0 , then which of the following statement(s) is(are) correct? [Note: I is an identity matrix of order 3 and T r .(P) and det. (P) denote trace and value of the determinant of square matr

Options

  1. ATr (A B)=6 2
  2. BTr (A B)=-6 2
  3. Cdet (A- 2 B)=54 2
  4. Ddet (A- 2 B)=-54 2

Correct answer

D. det (A- 2 B)=-54 2

Step-by-step solution
