Consider the following statements in respect of square matrices A, B, C each of same order n : 1. A B=A C B=C if A is non-singular 2. If B X=C X for every column matrix X having n rows then B=C Which of the statement given above is/are correct?
Options
- A1 only
- B2 only
- CBoth 1 and 2
- DNeither 1 nor 2
Correct answer
A. 1 only
Step-by-step solution
A B=A C If A is non singular hence A⁻¹ exist. A⁻¹ A B=A⁻¹ A C B=C but B X=C X B=C is not necessarily true. e.g. [ array ll 1 & 2 3 & 4 array ] [ array l 0 0 array ]= [ array ll 2 & 3 7 & 5 array ] [ array l 0 0 array ] .
