Question:

If \(A\) is a \(3\times3\) non-singular matrix such that \(AA'=A'A\) and \(B=A^{-1}A'\), then \(BB'\) equals :

Show Hint

Compute \(B'\) using \((XY)'=Y'X'\) and \((A^{-1})'=(A')^{-1}\), then use \(AA'=A'A\).

The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

\(B'=(A^{-1}A')'=A\,(A^{-1})'=A\,(A')^{-1}\).
\(BB'=A^{-1}A'\,A\,(A')^{-1}=A^{-1}(A'A)(A')^{-1}\).
Using \(A'A=AA'\): \(BB'=A^{-1}(AA')(A')^{-1}=(A^{-1}A)(A'(A')^{-1})=I\cdot I=I\).
Answer: (4) \(I\)
