Question
If A and B are square matrices of size n × n such that A2 − B2 = (A - B) (A + B), then which of the following will be always true ?
Options
A.A = B
B.AB = BA
C.either of A or B is a zero matrix
D.either of A or B is an identity matrix
Solution
A2 - B2 = (A - B) (A + B)
A2 - B2 = A2 + AB - BA - B2
⇒ AB = BA.
A2 - B2 = A2 + AB - BA - B2
⇒ AB = BA.
