MCQ
If $A=\left[\begin{array}{cc}2 & 2 \\ -3 & 2\end{array}\right], B=\left[\begin{array}{cc}0 & -1 \\ 1 & 0\end{array}\right]$ then $\left(B^{-1} A^{-1}\right)^{-1}=$
  • $\left[\begin{array}{cc}2 & -2 \\ 2 & 3\end{array}\right]$
  • B
    $\left[\begin{array}{cc}2 & 2 \\ -2 & 3\end{array}\right]$
  • C
    $\left[\begin{array}{cc}2 & -3 \\ 2 & 2\end{array}\right]$
  • D
    $\left[\begin{array}{cc}1 & -1 \\ -2 & 3\end{array}\right]$

Answer

Correct option: A.
$\left[\begin{array}{cc}2 & -2 \\ 2 & 3\end{array}\right]$
(a) : $A=\left[\begin{array}{cc}2 & 2 \\ -3 & 2\end{array}\right], B=\left[\begin{array}{cc}0 & -1 \\ 1 & 0\end{array}\right]$
$|A|=4+6=10 \neq 0$ and $|B|=0+1=1 \neq 0$
$\therefore \quad A^{-1}, B^{-1}$ exists
So, $\left(B^{-1} A^{-1}\right)^{-1}=\left(A^{-1}\right)^{-1}\left(B^{-1}\right)^{-1}=A B$
$=\left[\begin{array}{cc}2 & 2 \\ -3 & 2\end{array}\right]\left[\begin{array}{cc}0 & -1 \\ 1 & 0\end{array}\right]=\left[\begin{array}{cc}0+2 & -2+0 \\ 0+2 & 3+0\end{array}\right]=\left[\begin{array}{cc}2 & -2 \\ 2 & 3\end{array}\right]$
