The correct Answer is:
To determine whether the statement "If A is non-singular then |A| = 0" is true or false, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Definitions**: - A **singular matrix** is defined as a square matrix whose determinant is equal to zero. This means that it does not have an inverse. - A **non-singular matrix** is a square matrix whose determinant is not equal to zero. This means that it has an inverse. 2. **Analyze the Given Statement**: - The statement claims that if matrix A is non-singular, then the determinant of A (denoted as |A|) is equal to zero. 3. **Apply the Definitions**: - Since A is non-singular, by definition, we know that |A| ≠ 0 (the determinant is not zero). - Therefore, the statement that |A| = 0 contradicts the property of non-singular matrices. 4. **Conclusion**: - Since the determinant of a non-singular matrix cannot be zero, the statement "If A is non-singular then |A| = 0" is **False**. ### Final Answer: The statement is **False**. ---
