    If \[A\left[ \begin{matrix}    1 & 2  \\    3 & 4  \\ \end{matrix} \right],\]then \[{{A}^{-1}}\] is equal to

    A)  \[-\frac{1}{2}\left[ \begin{matrix}    4 & -2  \\    -3 & 1  \\ \end{matrix} \right]\]

    B)  \[\frac{1}{2}\left[ \begin{matrix}    4 & -2  \\    -3 & 1  \\ \end{matrix} \right]\]

    C)  \[\left[ \begin{matrix}    -2 & 4  \\    1 & 3  \\ \end{matrix} \right]\]

    D)  \[\left[ \begin{matrix}    2 & 4  \\    1 & 3  \\ \end{matrix} \right]\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Given, \[A=\left[ \begin{matrix}    1 & 2  \\    3 & 4  \\ \end{matrix} \right]\] Now, \[|A|=4-6=-2\] \[adj\,(A)=\left[ \begin{matrix}    4 & -2  \\    -3 & 1  \\ \end{matrix} \right]\] \[\therefore \]  \[{{A}^{-1}}=\frac{adj\,(A)}{|A|}=-\frac{1}{2}\left[ \begin{matrix}    4 & -2  \\    -3 & 1  \\ \end{matrix} \right]\]
