Detailed Solution

(A,A)R because it is not necessary that each matrix is inverse of itself.
Let (A,A)R A & B are inverse of each other.
AB=I=BA BA=AB(B,A)R Now Let (A,B)RAB=I=BA    ..(1) (B,C)RBC=I=CB      ...(2) From (1) & (2) (AB) (BC) = I AB2C=I
It is clear that AB2C=I is AC=I if,  B2=I
which not possible of each matrix.
