MCQ
For the matrix $A=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}2 & -1 & 1 \\ \lambda & 2 & 0 \\ 1 & -2 & 3\end{array}\right]$ to be invertible, the value of $\lambda$ is
  • A
    $0$
  • B
    10
  • C
    $R -\{10\}$
  • D
    $R -\{-10\}$

Answer

Given, $A=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}2 & -1 & 1 \\ \lambda & 2 & 0 \\ 1 & -2 & 3\end{array}\right]$
For invertible matrix, $|A| \neq 0$
So, $2(6-0)+1(3 \lambda-0)+1(-2 \lambda-2) \neq 0$
$\Rightarrow \quad 12+3 \lambda-2 \lambda-2 \neq 0$
$\Rightarrow \lambda+10 \neq 0 \Rightarrow \lambda \neq-10$
$\therefore \quad$ Required value of $\lambda$ is $R-\{-10\}$.
