If $\mathrm{A}=\left[\begin{array}{cc}2 & 3 \\ 5 & -2\end{array}\right]$ and $\mathrm{A}^{-1}=\mathrm{KA}$, then $\mathrm{K}$ is
  1. 19
  2. $\frac{-1}{19}$
  3. $-19$
  4. $\frac{1}{19}$

Solution

$\begin{aligned} & A=\left[\begin{array}{cc}2 & 3 \\ 5 & -2\end{array}\right] \\ & |A|-4-15=-19 \text { and adj } A=\left[\begin{array}{cc}-2 & -3 \\ -5 & 2\end{array}\right] \\ & \therefore A^{-1}=\frac{-1}{19}\left[\begin{array}{cc}-2 & -3 \\ -5 & 2\end{array}\right]=\frac{1}{19}\left[\begin{array}{cc}2 & 3 \\ 5 & -2\end{array}\right] \Rightarrow \mathrm{k}=\frac{1}{19}\end{aligned}$
