    The set of all \[2\times 2\] matrices over the real numbers is not a group under matrix multiplication because:

    A)  identity element does not exist

    B)  closure property is not satisfied

    C)  association property is not satisfied

    D)  inverse axiom may not be satisfied

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Square matrices of \[2\times 2\] over the real numbers. We know that as inverse axiom may not exist for all \[2\times 2\] matrices, therefore, the set of all \[2\times 2\] matrices over the real numbers is not a group.
