$’X’$ and $’T’$ are two square matrices. 

$’X’$ has eigen values $3, 0, 2$.   $’T’$ has eigen values $4$ and $1$.

Which of the following statements is CORRECT?

  1.     $X$ and $T$ both are invertible.
  2.     $T$ is invertible but not $X$.
  3.     $X$ is invertible but not $T$.
  4.     None of them are invertible.

If any of the eigenvalues is 0, that means that the determinant of that matrix is zero. 

If the determinant is 0, then that matrix is singular, and it's inverse doesn't exist.

So, here (B)T is invertible but not X
