As we learnt in 

Multiplication of matrices -

-

 

 

Inverse of a matrix -

 A^{-1}=\frac{1}{\left | A \right |}\cdot adjA

-

 

 AB= \begin{bmatrix} 0&-1 &2 \\ 2& -2 &0 \end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix} 0 &1 \\ 1&0 \\ 1& 1 \end{bmatrix}

= \begin{bmatrix} 1 &2 \\ -2& 2 \end{bmatrix}

\left | AB \right |= 2+4=6

adj (AB)= \begin{bmatrix} 2 &2 \\ -2& 1 \end{bmatrix}

(AB)^{-1}= \frac{1}{6}\begin{bmatrix} 2 &2 \\ -2& 1 \end{bmatrix}

=\begin{bmatrix} \frac{1}{3} &\frac{1}{3} \\ \frac{-1}{3}& \frac{1}{6} \end{bmatrix}
