    If \[3x+2y=I\] and \[2x-y=O\], where \[I\] and \[O\] are unit and null matrices of order \[3\] respectively, then

    A) \[x=\frac{1}{7},\,\,y=\frac{2}{7}\]            

    B) \[x=\frac{2}{7},\,\,y=\frac{1}{7}\]

    C) \[x=\left( \frac{1}{7} \right)l,\,\,y=\left( \frac{2}{7} \right)l\]

    D) \[x=\left( \frac{2}{7} \right)l,\,\,y=\left( \frac{1}{7} \right)l\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    We have,                 \[3x+2y=l\]                                         ... (i)                 \[2x-y=O\]                                          ... (ii) On multiplying Eq. (ii) by 2, we get                 \[4x-2y=2\cdot O=O\]                   ... (iii) On adding Eqs. (i) and (iii), we get                 \[3x+2y=l\]                 \[\frac{4x-2y=O}{7x=l}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[x=\frac{l}{7}or\frac{1}{7}l\] From Eq. (i), we get                 \[2y=l-\frac{3}{7}l=\frac{4}{7}l\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[y=\frac{2}{7}l\]
