Chapter 3 Matrices Ex 3.4 Solutions

Question - 11 : -

Find the inverse of each of the matrices, if itexists.

Answer - 11 : -


We know that A = AI

Question - 12 : -

Find the inverse of each of the matrices, if itexists.

Answer - 12 : -


We know that A = IA

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

Therefore, A−1 doesnot exist.

Question - 13 : -

Find the inverse of each of the matrices, if itexists.

Answer - 13 : -


We know that A = IA

Question - 14 : -

Find the inverse of each of the matrices, if itexists.

Answer - 14 : -

We know that A = IA

Applying , we have:

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

Therefore, A−1 doesnot exist.

Question - 15 : -

Find the inverse of each of the matrices, if itexists.

Answer - 15 : -


We know that A = IA

Question - 16 : -

Find the inverse of each of the matrices, if itexists.

Answer - 16 : -

We know that A = IA

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

Question - 17 : -

Find the inverse of each of the matrices, if itexists.

Answer - 17 : -


We know that A = IA

Applying, we have:

Question - 18 : -

Matrices A and B willbe inverse of each other only if

A. AB = BA    C. AB = 0, BA = I         B. AB = BA = 0     D. AB = BA = I

Answer - 18 : -

We know that if A is asquare matrix of order m, and if there exists another squarematrix B of the same order m, such that AB = BA = I,then B is said to be the inverse of A. In thiscase, it is clear that A is the inverse of B.

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