If A ,\ B are square matrices of orde...

If `A ,\ B` are square matrices of order `3,\ A` is non-singular and `A B=O` , then `B` is a (a) null matrix (b) singular matrix (c) unit matrix (d) non-singular matrix

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

We have given `A`,`B` are square matrices of order 3.
And also,` A` is non-singular and `AB=O`
As A is non-singular then `A^(-1)` exists
Now `AB=O`
Now multiply by `A^(-1)` from left
`A^(-1)AB=A^(-1)O`
`B=A^(-1)O`
`B=O`
