normal
If $A,B$are square matrices of order $3, A$ is non- singular and $AB = O$, then $B$ is a
A
Null matrix
B
Singular matrix
C
Unit matrix
D
Non- singular matrix
Solution
Given $A, B$ are square matrices of order $3 .$
Also given, $A$ is non-singular then $A^{-1}$ exists.
Now,
$AB = O$
or, $B = A ^{-1} O$ [ Pre-multiplying both sides of the equation by $A ^{-1}$ ]
or, $B = O$.
So $B$ is null matrix.
