Determinants Matrices Question 169

Question: A is an involuntary matrix given by then the inverse of A/2 will be

Options:

A) 2A

B) $ \frac{{A^{-1}}}{2} $

C) $ \frac{A}{2} $

D) $ A^{2} $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: A

Solution:

  • [a] A is involuntary. Hence, $ A^{2}=I\Rightarrow A={A^{-1}} $ Also, $ {{(kA)}^{-1}}=\frac{1}{k}{{(A)}^{-1}} $ Or $ {{( \frac{1}{2}A )}^{-1}}=2{{(A)}^{-1}} $ or 2A
