    The inverse of  \[\left[ \begin{matrix}    1 & 2 & 3  \\    0 & 1 & 2  \\    0 & 0 & 1  \\ \end{matrix} \right]\]is [EAMCET 1990]

    A) \[\left[ \begin{matrix}    1 & -2 & 1  \\    0 & 1 & -2  \\    0 & 0 & 0  \\ \end{matrix} \right]\]

    B) \[\left[ \begin{matrix}    1 & -2 & 1  \\    0 & 1 & -2  \\    0 & 0 & 1  \\ \end{matrix} \right]\]

    C) \[\left[ \begin{matrix}    1 & 2 & 1  \\    0 & 1 & 2  \\    0 & 0 & 1  \\ \end{matrix} \right]\]

    D) None of these

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Let \[A=\left[ \begin{matrix}    1 & 2 & 3  \\    0 & 1 & 2  \\    0 & 0 & 1  \\ \end{matrix} \right]\]\[\Rightarrow \] \[|A|=1\,(1+0)=1\] \[Adj\,(A)=\left[ \begin{matrix}    {{A}_{11}} & {{A}_{21}} & {{A}_{31}}  \\    {{A}_{12}} & {{A}_{22}} & {{A}_{32}}  \\    {{A}_{13}} & {{A}_{23}} & {{A}_{33}}  \\ \end{matrix} \right]\] \[Adj\,(A)=\left[ \begin{matrix}    1 & -2 & 1  \\    0 & 1 & -2  \\    0 & 0 & 1  \\ \end{matrix} \right]\] \[\Rightarrow \]\[{{A}^{-1}}=\frac{Adj\,(A)}{|A|}=\left[ \begin{matrix}    1 & -2 & 1  \\    0 & 1 & -2  \\    0 & 0 & 1  \\ \end{matrix} \right]\].
