MCQ
If $A=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}2 & \lambda & -3 \\ 0 & 2 & 5 \\ 1 & 1 & 3\end{array}\right]$, then $A^{-1}$ exists only if
  • A
    $\lambda=2$
  • B
    $\lambda \neq 2$
  • C
    $\lambda \neq-2$
  • $\lambda \neq-8 / 5$

Answer

Correct option: D.
$\lambda \neq-8 / 5$
(d) : $A^{-1}$ exists if $|A| \neq 0$
$
\begin{array}{l}
\text { i.e., }\left|\begin{array}{ccc}
2 & \lambda & -3 \\
0 & 2 & 5 \\
1 & 1 & 3
\end{array}\right| \neq 0 \Rightarrow 2(6-5)+1(5 \lambda+6) \neq 0 \\
\Rightarrow 2+5 \lambda+6 \neq 0 \Rightarrow 5 \lambda \neq-8 \text { i.e., } \lambda \neq \frac{-8}{5}
\end{array}
