Question 1.
If A = \(\left[\begin{array}{lll}
1 & 0 & 0 \\
2 & 1 & 0 \\
3 & 3 & 1
\end{array}\right]\) then reduce it to I 3 by using column transformations.
Solution:
|A| = \(\left|\begin{array}{lll}
1 & 0 & 0 \\
2 & 1 & 0 \\
3 & 3 & 1
\end{array}\right|\)
= 1(1 – 0) – 0 + 0 = 1 ≠ 0
∴ A is a non-singular matrix.
Hence, the required transformation is possible.
Now, A = \(\left[\begin{array}{lll}
1 & 0 & 0 \\
2 & 1 & 0 \\
3 & 3 & 1
\end{array}\right]\)
By C 1 – 2C 2 , we get, A ~ \(\left[\begin{array}{lll}
1 & 0 & 0 \\
0 & 1 & 0 \\
-3 & 3 & 1
\end{array}\right]\)
By C 1 + 3C 3 and C 2 – 3C 3 , we get,
A ~ \(\left[\begin{array}{lll}
1 & 0 & 0 \\
0 & 1 & 0 \\
0 & 0 & 1
\end{array}\right]\) = I 3 .

Question 2.
If A = \(\left[\begin{array}{lll}
2 & 1 & 3 \\
1 & 0 & 1 \\
1 & 1 & 1
\end{array}\right]\), then reduce it to I 3 by using row transformations.
Solution:
|A| = \(\left|\begin{array}{lll}
2 & 1 & 3 \\
1 & 0 & 1 \\
1 & 1 & 1
\end{array}\right|\)
= 2 (0 – 1) – 1(1 – 1) + 3 (1 – 0)
= -2 – 0 + 3 = 1 ≠ 0
∴ A is a non-singular matrix.
Hence, the required transformation is possible.
Now, A = \(\left[\begin{array}{lll}
2 & 1 & 3 \\
1 & 0 & 1 \\
1 & 1 & 1
\end{array}\right]\)
By R 1 – R 2 , we get,

1 & 0 & 1 \\
0 & 2 & 3 \\
1 & 2 & 1
\end{array}\right]\)
|A| = 1(2 – 6) – 0(0 – 3) + 1(0 – 2)
|A| = -4 – 2
|A| = -6 ≠ 0
∴ A -1 exists.
First we have to find the cofactor matrix
= [A ij ]3×3, where A ij = (-1) i+j M ij

Question 16.
Find A -1 by adjoint method and by elementary transformations if A = \(\left[\begin{array}{lll}
1 & 2 & 3 \\
-1 & 1 & 2 \\
1 & 2 & 4
\end{array}\right]\)
Solution:
|A| = \(\left|\begin{array}{lll}
1 & 2 & 3 \\
-1 & 1 & 2 \\
1 & 2 & 4
\end{array}\right|\)
= 1(4 – 4) – 2(-4 – 2) + 3(-2 – 1)
= 0 + 12 – 9 = 3 ≠ 0
∴ A -1 exists.
A -1 by adjoint method :
We have to find the cofactor matrix
= [A ij ] 3×3 , where A ij = (-1) i+j M ij

Question 17.
Find the inverse of A = \(\left[\begin{array}{lll}
1 & 0 & 1 \\
0 & 2 & 3 \\
1 & 2 & 1
\end{array}\right]\) by elementary column transformations.
Solution:
|A| = \(\left|\begin{array}{lll}
1 & 0 & 1 \\
0 & 2 & 3 \\
1 & 2 & 1
\end{array}\right|\)
= 1 (2 – 6) – 0 + 1 (0 – 2)
= -4 – 2= -6 ≠ 0
∴ A -1 exists.
Consider A -1 A = I
∴ A -1 \(\left[\begin{array}{lll}
1 & 0 & 1 \\
0 & 2 & 3 \\
1 & 2 & 1
\end{array}\right]\) = \(\left[\begin{array}{lll}
1 & 0 & 0 \\
0 & 1 & 0 \\
0 & 0 & 1
\end{array}\right]\)

Question 18.
Find the inverse of \(\left[\begin{array}{lll}
1 & 2 & 3 \\
1 & 1 & 5 \\
2 & 4 & 7
\end{array}\right]\) by elementary row transformations.
Solution:
Let A = \(\left[\begin{array}{lll}
1 & 2 & 3 \\
1 & 1 & 5 \\
2 & 4 & 7
\end{array}\right]\)
∴ |A| = \(\left|\begin{array}{lll}
1 & 2 & 3 \\
1 & 1 & 5 \\
2 & 4 & 7
\end{array}\right|\)
= 1(7 – 20) – 2(7 – 10) + 3(4 – 2)
= -13 + 6 + 6 = -1 ≠ 0
∴ A -1 exists.
Consider AA -1 = I

Question 19.
Show with usual notations that for any matrix A = [a ij ] 3×3
(i) a 11 A 21 + a 12 A 22 + a 13 A 23 = 0
Solution:
A = [a ij ] 3×3 = \(\left[\begin{array}{lll}
a_{11} & a_{12} & a_{13} \\
a_{21} & a_{22} & a_{23} \\
a_{31} & a_{32} & a_{33}
\end{array}\right]\)
(i) A 21 = (-1) 2+1 M 21 = \(-\left|\begin{array}{ll}
a_{12} & a_{13} \\
a_{32} & a_{33}
\end{array}\right|\)
= -(a 12 a 33 – a 13 a 32 )
= -a 12 a 33 + a 13 a 32
A 22 = (-1) 2+2 M 22 = \(\left|\begin{array}{ll}
a_{11} & a_{13} \\
a_{31} & a_{33}
\end{array}\right|\)
= a 11 a 33 – a 13 a 31
A 23 = (-1) 2+3 M 23 = \(-\left|\begin{array}{ll}
a_{11} & a_{12} \\
a_{31} & a_{32}
\end{array}\right|\)
= -(a 11 a 32 – a 12 a 31 )
= -a 11 a 32 + a 12 a 31
∴ a 11 A 21 + a 12 A 22 + a 13 A 23
= a 11 (-a 12 33 + a 13 a 32 ) + a 12 (a 11 a 33 – a 13 a 31 ) + a 13 (-a 11 a 32 + a 12 a 31 )
= -a 11 a 12 a 33 + a 11 a 13 a 32 + a 11 a 12 a 33 – a 12 a 13 a 31 – a 11 a 13 a 32 + a 12 a 13 a 31
= 0
