MCQ
If $A=\left[\begin{array}{cc}3 & 1 \\ -1 & 2\end{array}\right]$, then find $A^{-1}$.
  • $\frac{1}{7}\left[\begin{array}{cc}2 & -1 \\ 1 & 3\end{array}\right]$
  • B
    $\frac{1}{7}\left[\begin{array}{cc}3 & 1 \\ -1 & 2\end{array}\right]$
  • C
    $\frac{1}{7}\left[\begin{array}{cc}-2 & 1 \\ -1 & -3\end{array}\right]$
  • D
    $\frac{1}{7}\left[\begin{array}{cc}2 & 1 \\ 1 & -3\end{array}\right]$

Answer

Correct option: A.
$\frac{1}{7}\left[\begin{array}{cc}2 & -1 \\ 1 & 3\end{array}\right]$
(a) : $|A|=6+1=7 \neq 0, \therefore A^{-1}$ exists.
$\operatorname{adj} A=\left[\begin{array}{cc}2 & -1 \\ 1 & 3\end{array}\right] \quad \therefore A^{-1}=\frac{1}{7}\left[\begin{array}{cc}2 & -1 \\ 1 & 3\end{array}\right]$
