    \[A=\left[ \begin{matrix}    1 & -1  \\    2 & 3  \\ \end{matrix} \right]\] and \[B=\left[ \begin{matrix}    2 & 3  \\    -1 & -2  \\ \end{matrix} \right]\] , then which of  the following is/are correct? 1. \[AB({{A}^{-1}}{{B}^{-1}})\] is a unit matrix. 2. \[{{(AB)}^{-1}}={{A}^{-1}}{{B}^{-1}}\] Select the correct answer using the code given below:

    A) 1 only

    B) 2 only

    C) Both 1 only 2

    D) Neither 1 nor 2

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    [d] Here, \[A=\left[ \begin{matrix}    1 & -1  \\    2 & 3  \\ \end{matrix} \right]\] and \[B=\left[ \begin{matrix}    2 & 3  \\    -1 & -2  \\ \end{matrix} \right]\] \[\left| A \right|=3-(-2)=5\] and \[\left| B \right|=-4-(-3)=-1\] \[\Rightarrow {{A}^{-1}}=\frac{1}{5}\left[ \begin{matrix}    3 & 1  \\    -2 & 1  \\ \end{matrix} \right]\] and \[{{B}^{-1}}=-1\left[ \begin{matrix}    -2 & -3  \\    1 & 2  \\ \end{matrix} \right]\] \[AB=\left[ \begin{matrix}    3 & 5  \\    1 & 0  \\ \end{matrix} \right]\]and \[{{A}^{-1}}{{B}^{-1}}=\frac{1}{5}\left[ \begin{matrix}    5 & 7  \\    -5 & 8  \\ \end{matrix} \right]\] \[\Rightarrow AB({{A}^{-1}}{{B}^{-1}})=\frac{1}{5}\left[ \begin{matrix}    -10 & -12  \\    5 & 7  \\ \end{matrix} \right]\ne 1\]. \[\left| AB \right|=0-5=-5\] \[\therefore {{(AB)}^{-1}}=\frac{-1}{5}\left[ \begin{matrix}    0 & -5  \\    -1 & 3  \\ \end{matrix} \right]\ne {{A}^{-1}}{{B}^{-1}}\]
