For any real, square and non-singular matrix B, the detB-1 is A. zero B. (detB)-1 C. – (detB) D. detB

zero
(detB)-1
#NAME?
detB

The correct answer is B. $(\det B)^{-1}$.

A square matrix is non-singular if its determinant is non-zero. The determinant of a matrix is a number that is associated with the matrix. It can be used to determine whether the matrix is invertible, and it can also be used to calculate the inverse of a matrix.

The determinant of a product of matrices is the product of the determinants of the matrices. So, if $B$ is a square matrix, then $\det(B^{-1}) = (\det B)^{-1}$.

Option A is incorrect because the determinant of a non-singular matrix is non-zero.

Option C is incorrect because the determinant of a matrix is a number, not a negative number.

Option D is incorrect because the determinant of a matrix is a number, not the matrix itself.
