Consider the following statements :
1. Determinant is a square matrix.
2. Determinant is a number associated with a square matrix.
Which of the above statements is/are correct ?

A

1 only

B

2 only

C

Both 1 and 2

D

Neither 1 nor 2

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
1. We know that, determinant is not a square matrix, so it is not a true statement.
2. It is true that, determinant is a number associated with a square matrix.
Hence, Statement 2 is correct.
