If every element of a square non-singular matrix $A$ of order $n$ is multiplied by $k$ and the new matrix is denoted by $B$,then how are $|A^{-1}|$ and $|B^{-1}|$ related?

  • A
    $|A^{-1}| = k|B^{-1}|$
  • B
    $|A^{-1}| = \frac{1}{k}|B^{-1}|$
  • C
    $|A^{-1}| = k^n|B^{-1}|$
  • D
    $|A^{-1}| = k^{-n}|B^{-1}|$
