Question
Consider a matrix , where and are the column vectors. Suppose , where and are the row vectors. Consider the following statements:
Statement 1: and
Statement 2: and Which of the following options is correct?
Statement 1: and
Statement 2: and Which of the following options is correct?
Correct answer
(C) Both the statements are true
Solution
Given and .
By the definition of the inverse of a matrix, , where is the identity matrix.Comparing the elements of the matrices on both sides:
By the definition of the inverse of a matrix, , where is the identity matrix.Comparing the elements of the matrices on both sides:
1. and (This matches Statement 1)
2. and (This matches Statement 2)
Since both statements are derived directly from the property of the inverse matrix, both are true.Continue learning with Success Tracker
