If A and B are square matrices of size n...

If A and B are square matrices of size `nxxn` such that `A^2-B^2 = (A-B)(A+B)`, then which of the following will be always true

A

A = B

B

AB = BA

C

Either of A or B is a zero matrix

D

Either of A or B is dientity matrix

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

`A^(2) - B^(2) =(A-B)(A+B)`
`rArr A^(2) -B^(2) = A^(2) + AB - BA - B^(2)`
`rArr AB = BA`
