    If \[{{a}_{ij}}=\frac{1}{2}(3i-2j)\]and \[A={{[{{a}_{ij}}]}_{2\times 2}}\], then A is equal to [RPET 2001]

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

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

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

    D) None of these

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    \[{{a}_{ij}}=\frac{1}{2}(3i-2j)\] Þ \[{{a}_{11}}=1/2,\,\,\,{{a}_{12}}=-1/2\] and \[{{a}_{21}}=2,\,\,\,{{a}_{22}}=1\] \[\therefore \] \[A={{[{{a}_{ij}}]}_{2\times 2}}=\left[ \begin{matrix}    {{a}_{\text{11}}} & {{a}_{12}}  \\    {{a}_{\text{21}}} & {{a}_{22}}  \\ \end{matrix} \right]\] \[\therefore \] \[A=\left[ \begin{matrix}    1/2 & -1/2  \\    2 & 1  \\ \end{matrix} \right]\].
