\end{array}\right|\)
Expanding along R1,
|A| = 2(6 – 5) – (4 – 5) – 3(-2)
= 2 + 5λ + 6
We know that A-1 exists, If A is non-singular
matrix, i.e., |A|≠ 0
∴ 2 + 5A + 6 ≠ 0
5 λ ≠ -8
∴λ ≠ \(\frac {-8}{5}\)
So,A-1 exists if and only λ ≠ \(\frac {-8}{5}\)
MCQ Of Chapter 4 Maths Class 12 Question 13.
IfA and B are invertible matrices, then which of the following is not correct?
(A) adj A =|A|.A-1
(B) det(A’) =[det(A)]-1
(C) (AB)-1 = B-1 A-1
(D) (A + B)-1 = B-1 + A-1
Answer:
(D) (A + B)-1 = B-1 + A-1
Explanation:
Since, A and B are invertible matrices, so, we can say that
(AB)-1 = B-1 A-1 ………..(i)
Also, A-1 = \(\frac{1}{|A|}\) (adj A) ………..(ii)
⇒ adj A = A-1.|A|
Also, det (A)-1 = [det (A)]-1
= det(A).det(A)-1 = 1 ……..(iii)
From equation (iii), we conclude that it is true
Again, (A + B)-1 = \(\frac{1}{|(A+B)|}\) adj (A + B)
(A + B)-1 = B-1 + A-1 ………..(iv)

If A is an invertible matrix of order 2, then det (A-1) is equal to
(A) det (A)
(B) \(\frac {1}{det (A)}\)
(C) 1
(D) O
Answer:
(B) \(\frac {1}{det (A)}\)
Explanation:
Given that A is an invertible matiix, A-1 exists and A-1 = \(\frac {1}{|A |}\) adj. A.
As matrix A is of order 2, let A = \(\left[\begin{array}{ll}
a & b \\
c & d
\end{array}\right]\)
Then, |A | = ad – bc and adj A = \(\left[\begin{array}{cc}
d & -b \\
-c & a
\end{array}\right]\)
Now
A-1 = \(\frac {1}{|A |}\) adj.A = \(\left[\begin{array}{cc}
\frac{d}{|A|} & \frac{-b}{|A|} \\
\frac{-c}{|A|} & \frac{a}{|A|}
\end{array}\right]\)
∴\(\left|A^{-1}\right|\) = \(\left|\begin{array}{cc}
\frac{d}{|A|} & \frac{-b}{|A|} \\
\frac{-c}{|A|} & \frac{a}{|A|}
\end{array}\right|\)
= \(\frac{1}{|A|^{2}}\left|\begin{array}{cc}
d & -b \\
-c & a
\end{array}\right|\)
\(\frac{1}{|A|^{2}} \cdot|A|\)
= \(\frac{1}{|A|}\)

2300 \\
900
\end{array}\right]\)
X = \(\left[\begin{array}{l}
x \\
y \\
z
\end{array}\right]\)
|A| = 3(1 – 3) -2(4 – 3) +1(4 – 1) = -6 -2 + 3 = -5
A-1 = \(\frac{1}{-5}\left[\begin{array}{ccc}
-2 & -1 & 5 \\
-1 & 2 & -5 \\
3 & -1 & -5
\end{array}\right]\)
X = A-1B
