Question 12: Find the inverse of each of the matrices, if it exists.

Answer

We know that A = IA

Now, in the above equation, we can see all the zeros in the second row of the matrix on the L.H.S.

Therefore, A −1 does not exist.

 

Question 13: Find the inverse of each of the matrices, if it exists.

Answer

We know that A = IA

Question 14: Find the inverse of each of the matrices, if it exists.

Answer

We know that A = IA

Applying R₁→ R₁-1/2 R₂, we have:

Now, in the above equation, we can see all the zeros in the first row of the matrix on the L.H.S.

Therefore, A −1 does not exist.

 

Question 16: Find the inverse of each of the matrices, if it exists.

Answer

We know that A = IA

Applying R₂ → R₂ + 3R₁ and R₃ → R₃ − 2R₁, we have:

Applying R₁ → R₁ + 3R₃ and R₂ → R₂ + 8R₃, we have:

Applying R₃ → R₃ + R₂, we have:

Applying R₃ → 1/25 R₃, we have:

Applying R₁ → R₁ - 10R₃ and R₂ → R₂ - 21R₃, we have:

Question 17: Find the inverse of each of the matrices, if it exists.

Answer

We know that A = IA

Applying R₁ → ½  R₁, we have:

Applying R₂ → R₂ - 5R₁, we have:

Applying R₃ → R₃ – R₂, we have:

Applying R₃ → 2R₃, we have:

Applying R₁ → R₁ + (1/2) R₃, and R₂ → R₂ + (5/2) R₃, we have:

Question 18: 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

Answer

Answer: D We know that if A is a square matrix of order m, and if there exists another square matrix B of the same order m, such that AB = BA = I, then B is said to be the inverse of A. In this case, it is clear that A is the inverse of B.

Thus, matrices A and B will be inverses of each other only if AB = BA = I.
