MCQ
If $\text{A}=\begin{bmatrix}\text{n}&0&0\\0&\text{n}&0\\0&0&\text{n}\end{bmatrix}$ and $\text{B}=\begin{bmatrix}\text{a}_1&\text{a}_2&\text{a}_3\\\text{b}_1&\text{b}_2&\text{b}_3\\\text{c}_1&\text{c}_2&\text{c}_3\end{bmatrix},$ then $AB$ is equal to:
  • A
    $B$
  • ✓
    $n^B$
  • C
    $B^n$
  • D
    $A + B$
✓

Answer

Correct option: B.
$n^B$
Here,
$\text{A}=\begin{bmatrix}\text{n}&0&0\\0&\text{n}&0\\0&0&\text{n}\end{bmatrix}$ and $\text{B}=\begin{bmatrix}\text{a}_1&\text{a}_2&\text{a}_3\\\text{b}_1&\text{b}_2&\text{b}_3\\\text{c}_1&\text{c}_2&\text{c}_3\end{bmatrix}$
$\therefore\ \text{AB}=\begin{bmatrix}\text{n}&0&0\\0&\text{n}&0\\0&0&\text{n}\end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix}\text{a}_1&\text{a}_2&\text{a}_3\\\text{b}_1&\text{b}_2&\text{b}_3\\\text{c}_1&\text{c}_2&\text{c}_3\end{bmatrix}$
$\Rightarrow\text{AB}=\begin{bmatrix}\text{na}_1&\text{na}_2&\text{na}_3\\\text{nb}_1&\text{nb}_2&\text{nb}_3\\\text{nc}_1&\text{nc}_2&\text{nc}_3\end{bmatrix}$
$\Rightarrow\text{AB}=\text{n}\begin{bmatrix}\text{a}_1&\text{a}_2&\text{a}_3\\\text{b}_1&\text{b}_2&\text{b}_3\\\text{c}_1&\text{c}_2&\text{c}_3\end{bmatrix}$
$\Rightarrow\text{AB}=\text{n}\text{B}$
