Options:
  • A $\mathrm{B}$ is an identity matrix
  • B $\quad \mathrm{B}=\mathrm{A}^{-1}$
  • C $\mathrm{B}=\mathrm{A}^{2}$
  • D Determinant of $\mathrm{B}$ is zero

The correct answer is: $\mathrm{B}$ is an identity matrix
Since, A and B are twonon-singular matrices therefore their determinant is non-zero. $\therefore \mathrm{A}^{-1}$ and $\mathrm{B}^{-1}$ defined.
Consider $\mathrm{AB}=\mathrm{A} \Rightarrow \mathrm{A}^{-1} \mathrm{AB}=\mathrm{A}^{-1} \mathrm{~A} \Rightarrow \mathrm{B}=\mathrm{I}$
