a

If A and B are square matrices  of order 3 such that |A|=-1,| B|=3, then the  determinant of 3AB is equal  to 27 .

b

If A is an invertible matrix, then detA-1 is equal to det(A)

c

If A and B are matrices of the same order, then (A+B)2=A2+2AB+B2 is  possible if AB=I

d

None of these

Detailed Solution

We have |AB|=|A||B| Also for a square matrix of order 3,|kA|=k3∣A| because each element of the matrix A is multiplied by k and hence in this case we will have k3 common |3AB|=33| A‖B|=27(−1)(3)=−81  Since A is invertible, therefore A−1 exists and AA−1=I⇒detAA−1=det(I)⇒det(A)detA−1=1⇒detA−1=1det(A) (A+B)2=(A+B)(A+B)=A2+AB+BA+B2=A2+2AB+B2 if AB=BA
