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.
