    If\[A=\left[ \begin{matrix}    x & -2  \\    3 & 7  \\ \end{matrix} \right]\]and\[{{A}^{-1}}=\left[ \begin{matrix}    \frac{7}{34} & \frac{1}{17}  \\    \frac{-3}{34} & \frac{2}{17}  \\ \end{matrix} \right]\],then the value of x is

    A)  2                                            

    B)  3

    C)  \[-4\]                   

    D)         4

    E)  \[-2\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Given matrix is \[A=\left[ \begin{matrix}    x & -2  \\    3 & 7  \\ \end{matrix} \right]\] \[\therefore \]  \[|A|=7x+6\] \[\therefore \]  \[{{A}^{-1}}=\left[ \begin{matrix}    \frac{7}{7x+6} & \frac{2}{7x+6}  \\    \frac{-3}{7x+6} & \frac{x}{7x+6}  \\ \end{matrix} \right]\] Comparing it with given inverse matrix                 \[{{A}^{-1}}=\left[ \begin{matrix}    \frac{7}{34} & \frac{1}{17}  \\    \frac{-3}{24} & \frac{2}{17}  \\ \end{matrix} \right],\] we get  \[\frac{7}{7x+6}=\frac{7}{34}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[x=4\]
