Question
If A and B are non-singular matrices of the same order, write whether AB is singular or non-singular.
✓

Answer

Let A & B be non-singular matrices of order n.
A ≠ 0 and B ≠ 0 By definition.
Since they are of same order, AB = AB, AB = 0 if either A = 0 or B = 0 But it is not the case here. Thus, AB is non-zero and AB is non-singular matrix.
