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 R3R3 + 2R2

. R3 1/2 R3 and .R1 R1 + 1/2 R3 and R2R2 - 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

R1R1 - 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
