Assertion (A) : A and B are two 2 × 2 matrices then A × B can be zero matrix.

Reason (R) : When for matrices A and B, A × B is zero, then either matrix A is zero, or matrix B is zero or both A and B are zero.

  1. A is true, R is false.

  2. A is false, R is true.

  3. Both A and R are true.

  4. Both A and R are false.

Answer

If A and B are two 2 × 2 matrices then A × B can be zero matrix without even A, B or both to be necessarily a zero matrix.

∴ Assertion (A) is true and Reason (R) is false.

Hence, Option 1 is the correct option.
