MCQ
If $A = \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}2&3\\4&6\end{array}} \right]$, then ${A^{ - 1}}$=
  • A
    $\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}1&2\\{ - 3/2}&3\end{array}} \right]$
  • B
    $\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}2&{ - 3}\\4&6\end{array}} \right]$
  • C
    $\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{ - 2}&4\\{ - 3}&6\end{array}} \right]$
  • Does not exist

Answer

Correct option: D.
Does not exist
d
(d) Given,$A = \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}2&3\\4&6\end{array}} \right]$,

we know that ${A^{ - 1}} = \frac{{adj.A}}{{|A|}}$.

Therefore, $|A|\,\, = \,\,[12 - 12] = 0.$

Since $|A|$ is zero,

therefore inverse of $A$  does not exist.
