Consider the following statements in respect of two non-singular matrices A and B of the same order n : 1. adj ( AB )=( adj A )( adjB ) 2. adj ( AB )= adj ( BA ) 3. ( AB ) adj ( AB )-| AB | I _n is a null matrix of order n How many of the above statements are correct?
Options
- ANone
- BOnly one statement
- COnly two statements
- DAll three statements
Correct answer
B. Only one statement
Step-by-step solution
Statements: 1. adj ( AB )=( adj A )( adjB ) Statement 1 is not correct. 2. AB BA adj ( AB ) adj ( BA ) Statement 2 is not correct. 3. aligned & ( AB ) adj ( AB )-| AB | I _n aligned aligned | AB | I _n-| AB | I _n aligned [ Aadj A =| A | I ]= Null matrix Hence, statement 3 is correct.
