Let’s dicuss each option one by one Option (a) - |〖𝑨𝑩〗^(βˆ’πŸ) |=(|𝑨|)/(|𝑩|) Solving LHS |〖𝐴𝐡〗^(βˆ’1) |=|𝐴||𝐡^(βˆ’1) | = |𝐴| 1/(|𝐡|) = (|𝐴|)/(|𝐡|) So, option (a) is correct Option (b) - |(𝑨𝑩)^(βˆ’πŸ) |=𝟏/(|𝑨||𝑩|) Solving L.H.S |γ€–(𝐴𝐡)γ€—^(βˆ’1) | = | 𝐡^(βˆ’1) 𝐴^(βˆ’1)| = | 𝑩^(βˆ’πŸ) γ€–| |𝑨〗^(βˆ’πŸ)| = 1/(|𝐡|) 1/(|𝐴|) = 𝟏/(|𝑨||𝑩|) = R.H.S So, option (b) is correct Option (c) - (𝐴𝐡)^(βˆ’1)=𝐡^(βˆ’1) 𝐴^(βˆ’1) This is a correct property. So, option (c) is correct Option (d) - (𝑨+𝑩)^(βˆ’πŸ)=𝑩^(βˆ’πŸ)+𝑨^(βˆ’πŸ) Let’s check this with the help of an example Let’s consider A = [β– (1&3@0&2)] and B = [β– (2&1@1&2)] Since L.H.L β‰  R.H.L Thus, (𝐴+𝐡)^(βˆ’1)≠𝐡^(βˆ’1)+𝐴^(βˆ’1) ∴ So, option (d) is incorrect So, the correct answer is (d)
