I.
Question 1.
Find the adjoint and inverse of the following matrices. (March 2002)
i)
Answer:
If A =

ii)
Answer:

iii) Find the adjoint and inverse of the matrix
Answer:
Find cofactors of elements in the matrix as

iv)
Answer:

Question 2.
If A = [a+ib−c+idc+ida−ib] , a2 + b2 + c2 + d2 = 1
Answer:
det A = (a + ib) (a – ib) – (c + id) (- c + id)
= (a2 – i2 b2) – (- c2 + i2d2)
= a2 + b2 + c2 + d2 (∵ i2 = -1)
= 1
Adj A =
A-1 =
Question 3.
If A = ⎡⎣⎢10−2−2−12341⎤⎦⎥ , then find (A’)-1. (Board Model Paper)
Answer:

Question 4.
If A = ⎡⎣⎢−122−21−2−2−21⎤⎦⎥ , then show that the adjoint of A = 3A, find A-1
Answer:

Question 5.
If abc ≠ 0; find the inverse of ⎡⎣⎢a000b000c⎤⎦⎥ (May 2006)
Answer:

II.
Question 1.
If A = ⎡⎣⎢b+cc−bb−cc−ac+aa−cb−aa−ba+b⎤⎦⎥ and B = 12⎡⎣⎢b+cc−bb−cc−ac+aa−cb−aa−ba+b⎤⎦⎥ , then show that ABA-1 is a diagonal matrix.
Answer:

Question 2.
If 3A = ⎡⎣⎢12−22122−2−1⎤⎦⎥ , then show that A-I = A’.
Answer:

∴ A.A’ = I and by definition A’ = A-1
similarly A’.A = I
Question 3.
If A = ⎡⎣⎢320−3−3−1441⎤⎦⎥ , then show that A-1 = A3
Answer:
So, the multiplicative inverse of A exists and it is A3.
∴ A-1 = A3
Question 4.
If AB = I or BA = I, then prove that A is invertible and B = A-1.
Answer:
Given AB = I
⇒ |AB| = |I|
⇒ |A| |B| = 1
⇒ |A| ≠ 0
∴ A is a non-singular matrix.
Also BA = I
⇒ |B| |A| = |I|
⇒ |A| |B| = 1
⇒ |A| *0
∴ A is a non-singular matrix.
⇒ A is invertible
⇒ A-1 exists AB = I
⇒ A-1 AB = A-1I
⇒ (A-1 A) B = A-1I
⇒ IB = A-1I
⇒ B = A-1.
