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
- $-6$
- $\frac{-1}{6}$
- $\frac{1}{36}$
- 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 $\left|\mathrm{A}^{-1}\right|=\frac{1}{|\mathrm{~A}|}$
$\therefore\left|\mathrm{A}^{-1}\right|=\frac{1}{-6}$
