Question

Find the rank of the following matrices by minor method:

`[(0, 1 ,2, 1),(0, 2, 4, 3),(8, 1, 0, 2)]`

Sum

Solution

A = `[(0, 1 ,2, 1),(0, 2, 4, 3),(8, 1, 0, 2)]`

A is matrix of order 3 × 4 and P(A) ≤ 3

Third order minor

`|(0, 1, 2),(0, 2, 4),(8, 1, 0)| = 0 - 1(0 - 32) + 2(0 - 16)`

= 32 – 32

= 0

`|(1, 2, 1),(2, 4, 3),(1, 0, 2)| = 1(8 - 0) - 2(4 - 3) + 1(0 - 4)`

= 8 – 2 – 4

= 2 ≠ 0

∴ P(A) = 3
