Question : 17 of 20
Marks: +1, -0
If A and B are invertible matrices, then which of the following is not correct?
Solution:  
Since A & B are invertible matrix, so we can say that
(AB)−1=B−1A−1
Also, A−1=1|A|(adjA)
⇒adj(A)=|A|⋅A−1
|A−1|=1|A|
|A−1|=|A|−1
Now, (A+B)−1=1|(A+B)|adj(A+B)
⇒(A+B)−1≠A−1+B−1
This statement is not true. The inverse of a sum of matrices is not equal to the sum of their inverse.
