Q74 / 125 · BITSAT 2019 · Mathematics

If A is an 3×3 non- singular matrix, such that AA'=A'A and B=A-1A', then BB' equals to

  • A
    B-1'
  • B
    I+B
  • Correct answer
    C
    I
  • D
    B-1

Solution

Given,

AA'=A'A

and B=A-1A'

BB'=A-1A'A-1A''

=A-1A'A''A-1'

=A-1A'AA'-1

∵ A''=A,A-1'=A'-1

=A-1A'AA'-1

=A-1AA'A'-1

=A-1AA-1A'

=I·I=I

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
