Matrices A and B will be inverse of each other only if: (A) AB = BA (B) AB = BA = 0 (C) AB = 0, BA = I (D) AB = BA = I Solution: According to the definition of inverse of square matrix, Option (D) is correct i.e. AB=BA=I Deleted Question Using elementary transformations, find the inverse of each of the matrices, if it exists. Solution: Solution: Let A= [Tex]\begin{array}{l} \left(R_{1} \rightarrow R_{1}-R_{2}\right) \\ \left(R_{2} \rightarrow R_{2}-R_{1}\right) \end{array}[/Tex] Solution: Solution: Solution: Solution: Using elementary transformation, find the inverse of each of the matrices, if it exists. Solution: Solution: Solution: Solution: Solution: } Solution: Here, both the elements of R2 of L.H.S. are 0. Therefore, A-1 does not exist. Solution: Solution: Here, both the elements of R2 of L.H.S. are 0. Therefore, A-1 does not exist. Solution: Let A= W.K.T. , A=IA [Tex]\begin{array}{l} {\left[\mathrm{R}{1} \rightarrow \mathrm{R}{1}-\mathrm{R}_{3}\right]}\\\\ {\left[\mathrm{R}{1} \rightarrow(-1) \mathrm{R}{1}\right]} \end{array}[/Tex] Therefore, A-1 = Solution: Let A= W.K.T. , A=IA [Tex]\begin{aligned} &\left[\begin{array}{lll} 1 & 0 & 10 \\ 0 & 1 & -4 \\ 0 & 0 & 25 \end{array}\right]=\left[\begin{array}{ccc} -5 & 0 & 3 \\ 2 & 0 & -1 \\ -15 & 1 & 9 \end{array}\right] \text { A }\left[R_{1} \rightarrow R_{1}-3 R_{2}\right. \text { and } R_{3} \rightarrow R_{3}-9 R_{2}\\ &\left[\begin{array}{ccc} 1 & 0 & 10 \\ 0 & 1 & -4 \\ 0 & 0 & 1 \end{array}\right]=\left[\begin{array}{ccc} -5 & 0 & 3 \\ 2 & 0 & -1 \\ -3 / 5 & 1 / 25 & 9 / 25 \end{array}\right] \text { A }\left[R_{1} \rightarrow \frac{1}{25} R_{3}\right]\\ &\left[\begin{array}{ccc} 1 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 1 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 1 \end{array}\right]=\left[\begin{array}{ccc} 1 & -\frac{2}{5} & -\frac{3}{5} \\ -\frac{2}{5} & \frac{4}{25} & \frac{11}{25} \\ -\frac{3}{5} & \frac{1}{25} & \frac{9}{25} \end{array}\right] A\left[R_{1} \rightarrow R_{1}-10 R_{1} \text { and } R_{2} \rightarrow R_{2}+4 R_{3}\right]\\ &Therefore,A^{-1}=\left[\begin{array}{ccc} 1 & -2 / 25 & -3 / 25 \\ -2 / 25 & 4 / 25 & 11 / 25 \\ -3 / 25 & 1 / 25 & 9 / 25 \end{array}\right]\\ \end{aligned}[/Tex] Solution: Let A= W.K.T. , A=IA Like Article Suggest improvement Previous Class 12 NCERT Solutions - Mathematics Part I - Chapter 3 Matrices - Exercise 3.3 Next Class 12 NCERT Solutions- Mathematics Part I - Chapter 3 Matrices - Exercise 3.4 | Set 2 Share your thoughts in the comments Add Your Comment Please Login to comment...
