Matrices & Determinants - 9
M 2. Using elementary row trans formations find the inverse of the matrix A = 
Soln :- A = I A
A
. R1
R1 - R2
. R2
- 2R1 and R3
R3 - 3R1
. R2
1/2 R2
. R1
R1 + R1 and R3
R3 + 2R2
. R3
1/2 R3 and .R1
R1 + 1/2 R3 and R2
R2 - 1/2 R3
We get :-
A
A -1 = 
M 3 If a, b and c are Pth1 qth and rth terms of are
H.P., prove taht
= 0
Solution :- A : First term, D : Common difference
1/a = A +(p -1) D, 1/b = A +(q - 1) D, 1/c = A + (r - 1)D
abc 
R1
R1 - D R2 - (A - D)r ,
= abc
= 0
M 4 . for what valume of m, does the system of equation 3x + my - mand 2x - 5y = 20 lhas a solution satisfying the condstion. x > 0, y > 0.
Solution
=
= - (15 + 2m)
1 = - 25m
2 = 60 - 2m
X = 
=> m > 30 or m < -15/2
