Prove that $cond(A)ge frac{||A||}{||A-B||}$ for any induced matrix norm

Prove that for any induced matrix norm:
$cond(A)ge frac{leftlVert A rightrVert}{leftlVert A-B rightrVert}$



Where $A$ is an invertible matrix, and $B$ is a singular matrix.



The condition number is: $cond(A) := leftlVert A rightrVert leftlVert A^{-1} rightrVert$



I have tried to prove that $leftlVert A rightrVert leftlVert A-B rightrVert ge 1$ ,but I'm not sure how to use the fact that $B$ is singular.

          Let $zin ker B$ be a unit vector. It is easy to see that
          $$
          |Az|=|Az-Bz|le |A-B|.
          $$
          On the other hand, we have
          $$
          1 = |z|=|A^{-1}Az|le |A^{-1}||Az|.
          $$
          Therefore, we have
          $$
          |A^{-1}|^{-1}le |Az|le |A-B|,
          $$
          and
          $$
          frac{|A|}{|A-B|}le|A||A^{-1}|=text{cond}(A)
          $$
          follows.
