If A and B are square matrices of order 3 such that AB = A and BA = B, then A² + B² is equal to:
If A and B are square matrices of order 3 such that AB = A and BA = B, then A² + B² is equal to:
- A. A + B
- B. 2AB
- C. I
- D. O
Answer: A) A + B
Explanation: A² = A(A) = A(BA) = (AB)A = AA... Similarly, B² = B(B) = (BA)B = B(AB) = BA = B. Therefore, A² + B² = A + B.
