    If\[A=\left[ \begin{matrix}    1 & 3  \\    2 & -2  \\ \end{matrix} \right],\] then \[{{A}^{-1}}\]is equal to

    A) \[-\frac{1}{8}\left[ \begin{matrix}    3 & 1  \\    -2 & 2  \\ \end{matrix} \right]\]

    B)         \[-\frac{1}{8}\left[ \begin{matrix}    -2 & -3  \\    -2 & 1  \\ \end{matrix} \right]\]

    C)  \[\frac{1}{8}\left[ \begin{matrix}    -1 & -3  \\    -2 & 2  \\ \end{matrix} \right]\]

    D)         None of these

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    We have \[A=\left[ \begin{matrix}    1 & 3  \\    2 & -2  \\ \end{matrix} \right]\] Then, adj \[A={{\left[ \begin{matrix}    -2 & -2  \\    -3 & 1  \\ \end{matrix} \right]}^{T}}\]                 \[=\left[ \begin{matrix}    -2 & -3  \\    -2 & 1  \\ \end{matrix} \right]\] and   \[|A|=\left| \begin{matrix}    1 & 3  \\    2 & -2  \\ \end{matrix} \right|\]                 \[=-2-6=-8\] \[\therefore \]  \[{{A}^{-1}}=\frac{1}{\left| A \right|}(adj\,A)\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[{{A}^{-1}}=-\frac{1}{8}\left[ \begin{matrix}    -2 & -3  \\    -2 & 1  \\ \end{matrix} \right]\]
