0. Let A and B be two n × n matrices over real numbers. Let rank(M) and det(M) denote the rank and determinant of a matrix M, respectively. Consider the following statements.
I. rank(AB) = rank(A) rank(B)
II. det(AB) = det(A) det(B)
III. rank(A + B) rank(A) + rank(B)
IV. det(A + B) det(A) + det(B)
Which of the above statements are TRUE?

  • Option : D
  • Explanation :
    d(AB) = d(A) × d(B)
    d(A + B) ≥ d(A) + d(B)
    r(A + B) ≤ r(A) + r(B)
    r(AB) ≠ r(A) r(B)
