List of top Mathematics Questions on Operations on Matrices asked in CBSE Class XII

Direction: Questions number 19 and 20 are Assertion and Reason based questions. Two statements are given, one labelled Assertion (A) and the other labelled Reason (R). Select the correct answer from the codes (A), (B), (C) and (D) as given below.
Assertion (A) : If A and B are two square matrices such that AB and BA are defined, then it is not necessary that AB = BA.
Reason (R) : Product of two diagonal matrices of same order is commutative.

If $A$ and $B$ are square matrices of the same order, then which of the following statements is/are always true?
(i) $(A + B)(A - B) = A^2 - B^2$
(ii) $AB = BA$
(iii) $(A + B)^2 = A^2 + AB + BA + B^2$
(iv) $AB = 0 \implies A = 0$ or $B = 0$
