    It is shown that for any two idempotent matrices \(P, Q\) the nonsingularity of \(P-Q\) is equivalent to the nonsingularity of any combination \(aP+bQ-cPQ\) (\(a, b\neq 0, \;a+b=c\)), and the nonsingularity of \(P+Q\) is equivalent to the nonsingularity of any combination \(aP+bQ-cPQ\) (\(a, b\neq 0,\;a+b\neq c\)).
