Let A be a 3 × 3 real matrix such that A 1 0 1 = 2 1 0 1 , A − 1 0 1 = 4 − 1 0 1 , A 0 1 0 = 2 0 1 0 . Then,…

Let A be a 3×3 real matrix such that A101=2101, A101=4101, A010=2010. Then, the system A3Ixyz=123 has

  1. unique solution
  2. exactly two solutions
  3. no solution
  4. infinitely many solutions

Solution

Let, A=x1y1z1x2y2z2x3y3z3

It is given that, A101=202

x1+z1x2+z2x3+z3=202

x1+z1=2, x2+z2=0, x3+z3=0   ...i

Also, A101=404

x1+z1x2+z2x3+z3=-404

x1+z1=4, x2+z2=0, x3+z3=4   ...ii

Now, A010=020

y1y2y3=020

y1=0, y2=2, y3=0   ...iii

Using i and ii,

x1=3, x2=0, x3=1

z1=1, z2=0, z3=3

A=301020103

Now, A3Ixyz=123

001010100xyz=123

zyx=123

z=1, y=2, x=3
