Question

$A, B, C$ are three non-null square matrices of the same order, write the condition on $A$ such that $AB = AC \Rightarrow B = C.$

✓

Answer

Consider $AB = AC$. On multiplying both sides by $A^{-1},$
we get $AA^{-1}B = AA^{-1}$
$\Rightarrow IB = IC [$Because $AA^{-1} = I$ where I is the identity matrix$] \Rightarrow B = C$
Therefore, the required condition is $A$ must be invertible or $|\text{A}|\neq0$.
