The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze the properties of square matrices and determine which of the given options is correct. ### Step-by-step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Properties of Matrix Addition:** - Matrix addition is commutative. This means that for any two square matrices \( A \) and \( B \) of the same size, the following holds: \[ A + B = B + A \] 2. **Analyzing Option 1:** - The first option states: \[ A + B = B + A \] - Since we established that matrix addition is commutative, this option is correct. 3. **Analyzing Option 2:** - The second option states: \[ A + B = A - B \] - This is generally not true. The left side represents the sum of matrices, while the right side involves subtraction. Therefore, this option is incorrect. 4. **Analyzing Option 3:** - The third option states: \[ A - B = B - A \] - This is also not true as subtraction of matrices is not commutative. Therefore, this option is incorrect. 5. **Analyzing Option 4:** - The fourth option states: \[ AB = BA \] - This is not generally true for matrix multiplication. Matrix multiplication is not commutative in general. Therefore, this option is incorrect. ### Conclusion: After analyzing all the options, we conclude that the only correct statement is from Option 1: \[ A + B = B + A \] ### Final Answer: The correct option is **Option 1**. ---
