MCQ
If $\left[\begin{array}{cc}a+b & 2 \\ 5 & a b\end{array}\right]=\left[\begin{array}{ll}6 & 2 \\ 5 & 8\end{array}\right]$, then find the values of $a$ and $b$ respectively.
  • A
    2,4
  • B
    4,2
  • Both (a) and (b)
  • D
    None of these

Answer

Correct option: C.
Both (a) and (b)
(c) : Since, $\left[\begin{array}{cc}a+b & 2 \\ 5 & a b\end{array}\right]=\left[\begin{array}{ll}6 & 2 \\ 5 & 8\end{array}\right]$
$\Rightarrow a+b=6$ and $a b=8$
$\Rightarrow \quad a+\frac{8}{a}=6$ $(\because a b=8 \Rightarrow b=8 / a)$
$\Rightarrow a^2-6 a+8=0 \Rightarrow(a-2)(a-4)=0 \Rightarrow a=2,4$
Hence, $a=2, b=4$ or $a=4, b=2$
