    If A and B are two matrices and \[(A+B)(A-B)\]\[={{A}^{2}}-{{B}^{2}}\], then [RPET 1995]

    A) \[AB=BA\]

    B) \[{{A}^{2}}+{{B}^{2}}={{A}^{2}}-{{B}^{2}}\]

    C) \[{A}'{B}'=AB\]

    D) None of these

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Since \[(A+B)(A-B)={{A}^{2}}-{{B}^{2}}\] By matrix distribution law, Þ \[{{A}^{2}}-AB+BA-{{B}^{2}}={{A}^{2}}-{{B}^{2}}\] Þ \[BA-AB=0\,\,\Rightarrow BA=AB\].
