IfA is a3×3non-singular matrix such thatAA'=A'AandB=A-1A',thenBB'equals, whereX'denotes the transpose of the matrixX.

Options:

Answer:
D
Solution:

A'=AT

AA'=A'A

B=A-1A'

B'=A-1A''=A''·A-1'=AA-1'

BB'=A-1A'·AA-1'

       =A-1·A·A'·A-1'     ∵  AA'=A'A

       =I·A'·A-1'

       =I·A-1A'           ∵  CD'=D'C'

       =I·I'

       =I2                                      ∵  I=I'

       =I
