MCQ
The matrix $\begin{bmatrix}1 &\text{amp; } 0 &\text{amp; 1} \\ 2 &\text{amp; 1}&\text{amp; 0} \\ 3 &\text{amp; 1} &\text{amp; 1}\end{bmatrix}$ is:
  • A
    non-singular
  • singular
  • C
    skew-symmetric
  • D
    symmetric

Answer

Correct option: B.
singular
Given $\text{A}=\begin{bmatrix}1 &\text{amp; } 0 &\text{amp; 1} \\ 2 &\text{amp; 1}&\text{amp; 0} \\ 3 &\text{amp; 1} &\text{amp; 1}\end{bmatrix}$

$\text{|A|}=\begin{bmatrix}1 &\text{amp; } 0 &\text{amp; 1} \\ 2 &\text{amp; 1}&\text{amp; 0} \\ 3 &\text{amp; 1} &\text{amp; 1}\end{bmatrix}$

$\Rightarrow∣\text{A}∣=1−1=0$

Hence, A is singular.
