The values of t such that the matrix 1 3 2 2 5 t 4 7 - t - 6 has no inverse, are

The values of t such that the matrix 13225t47-t-6 has no inverse, are
  1. 3,2
  2. 3,-2
  3. -3,2
  4. -3,-2

Solution

Inverse of a matrix does not exist when the determinant of the matrix is zero. 

13225t47-t-6=0

1-30-7t+t2-3-12-4t+214-2t-20=0

-30-7t+t2+36+12t-12-4t=0

t2+t-6=0

t2+3t-2t-6=0

t+3t-2=0

t=-3 and 2.
