    Hello Sir,
    I need to clarify something from basic tensor algebra.
    Given arbitrary tensors A, B, C where
    AB = C

    Then, is
    B = (A^-1)C
    or
    B = CA^-1
    What is the rule behind getting B?

      Premultiply the equation AB=C by Inverse[A]. Your first answer is correct. This is the same from matrix algebra since the equipollency.
