Let A and B be two 3×3 real matrices such that A2-B2 is invertible matrix. If A5=B5 and A3 B2=A2 B3, then the value of the determinant of the matrix A3+B3 is equal to :
  1. 2
  2. 4
  3. 1
  4. 0

Solution

Let C=A2-B2;C0

and A5=B5   ...1

A3 B2=A2 B3   ...2

Subtracting equation 2 from 1, we get A5-A3B2=B5-A2B3

A3 A2-B2+B3 A2-B2=O

Post multiplying inverse of A2-B2:

A3+B3=OA3+B3=0
