If $A=\left[\begin{array}{lll}1 & 0 & 1 \\ 0 & 2 & 3 \\ 1 & 2 & 1\end{array}\right]$, then the value of determinant of $A^{-1}$ is
  1. $-6$
  2. $\frac{-1}{6}$
  3. $\frac{1}{36}$
  4. 36

Solution

$\begin{aligned} & \text { We have } A=\left[\begin{array}{lll} 1 & 0 & 1 \\ 0 & 2 & 3 \\ 1 & 2 & 1 \end{array}\right] \\ & \therefore|A|=(2-6)+(0-2)=-6 \end{aligned}$ We know that $\left|\mathrm{A}^{-1}\right|=\frac{1}{|\mathrm{~A}|}$ $\therefore\left|\mathrm{A}^{-1}\right|=\frac{1}{-6}$
