- c) If $\rho$ is an elementary row operation & if $A$ & $B$ are any two matrices which can be multiplied, then
- $\rho(A B) = \rho(A) \cdot B $
- $\rho(A B) = \rho(I)(A B)$
- $ =(\rho(I) A)(B) $
- $ =\rho(A)(B) .$
- $\therefore$ If $\rho_s, \rho_{s-1}, \ldots . \rho_2, \rho_1$ is a finite set of elementary row operations then
