RD Sharma Solutions for Class 12 Maths Chapter 6 Determinants Image 8

From the given matrix we have,

M11 = –1

M21 = 20

C11 = (–1)1+1 × M11

= 1 × –1

= –1

C21 = (–1)2+1 × M21

= 20 × –1

= –20

Now expanding along the first column we get

|A| = a11 × C11 + a21× C21

= 5× (–1) + 0 × (–20)

= –5

(ii) Let Mij and Cij represents the minor and co–factor of an element, where i and j represent the row and column. The minor of matrix can be obtained for particular element by removing the row and column where the element is present. Then finding the absolute value of the matrix newly formed.

C11 = (–1)1+1 × M11

= 1 × 3

= 3

C21 = (–1)2+1 × 4

= –1 × 4

= –4

Now expanding along the first column we get

|A| = a11 × C11 + a21× C21

= –1× 3 + 2 × (–4)

= –11

= –1 × –16

= 16

C31 = (–1)3+1 × M31

= 1 × –4

= –4

Now expanding along the first column we get

|A| = a11 × C11 + a21× C21+ a31× C31

= 1× (–12) + 4 × 16 + 3× (–4)

= –12 + 64 –12

= c2b – a2b

C31 = (–1)3+1 × M31

= 1 × (a2c – b2c)

= a2c – b2c

Now expanding along the first column we get

|A| = a11 × C11 + a21× C21+ a31× C31

= 1× (ab2 – ac2) + 1 × (c2b – a2b) + 1× (a2c – b2c)

= –1 × –40

= 40

C31 = (–1)3+1 × M31

= –1 × (hc – fg)

= fg – hc

C31 = (–1)3+1 × M31

= 1 × (hf – bg)

= hf – bg

Now expanding along the first column we get

|A| = a11 × C11 + a21× C21+ a31× C31

M41 = –1(1×1 – (–1) × (–2)) – 0(0 × 1 – 1 × (–2)) + 1(0 × (–1) – 1 × 1)

M41 = 0

C11 = (–1)1+1 × M11

= 1 × (–9)

= –9

C21 = (–1)2+1 × M21

= –1 × 9

= –9

C31 = (–1)3+1 × M31

= 1 × –9

= –9

C41 = (–1)4+1 × M41

= –1 × 0

= 0

Now expanding along the first column we get

Solve each of the following system of homogeneous linear equations:

5x + 4y – 9z = 0

Solution:

Given x + y – 2z = 0

2x + y – 3z =0

5x + 4y – 9z = 0

Any system of equation can be written in matrix form as AX = B

Now finding the Determinant of these set of equations,

= 1(1 × (– 9) – 4 × (– 3)) – 1(2 × (– 9) – 5 × (– 3)) – 2(4 × 2 – 5 × 1)

= 1 × 3 –1 × (– 3) – 2 × 3

= 3 + 3 – 6

= 0

Since D = 0, so the system of equation has infinite solution.

Now let z = k

⇒ x + y = 2k

And 2x + y = 3k

Now using the Cramer’s rule
