If A and B are square matrices such that B = –A–1BA, then (a)   AB + BA = 0 (b)   (A + B)2 = A2 + B2 (c)   (A + B)2 = A2 + 2AB + B2 (d)    (A + B)2 = A + B 

Answer»

Correct option  (a, b)

Explanation:

B = –A–1 BA ⇒ AB = –(AA–1) (BA)

⇒ AB = –IBA 

⇒ AB = –BA ⇒ AB + BA = 0

Now (A + B)2 = (A + B) (A + B) = A+ AB + BA + B2 = A+ B2
