12th Class Mathematics Determinants Question Bank Assertion And Reason (MCQs) - Determinants

  • question_answer
    Assertion [A]: For a square matrix\[A,\,{{\left( 2A \right)}^{-1}}=\frac{1}{2}{{A}^{-1}}\].
    Reason [R]: For any matrix A and scalar k, kA is a matrix obtained by multiplying each element of A by k.

    A) Both A and R are individually true and R is the correct explanation of A.

    B) Both A and R are individually true and R is not the correct explanation of A.

    C) 'A' is true but 'R' is false

    D) 'A' is false but 'R' is true

    E) Both A and R are false.

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    We know that, \[{{\left( kA \right)}^{-1}}\ne \frac{1}{k}\left( {{A}^{-1}} \right)\] \[\therefore \]Given Assertion is not true Clearly Reason R is true \[\therefore \]A is false and R is true Hence option [D] is the correct answer.
