In a matrix \(A\), if all the sub matrices or \(k\) orcer are singular and there is one non-singular sub matrix of order r \((r < k)\), then the rank \((\rho)\) of the matrix A

  1. A satisfies \(r \leq \rho < k\)
  2. B is equal to \(r\)
  3. C is equal to \((\mathrm{k}-1)\)
  4. D is equal to \((\mathrm{k}+1)\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) satisfies \(r \leq \rho < k\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Since, all the sub-matrices of \(k^{\text {th }}\) order are singular. \(\therefore \quad\) Rank of \(A=\rho < k\) \(\Rightarrow \rho < k\) ...(i) Also, there is one non-singular sub matrix of order \(r\). So, \(r \leq\) Rank of \(A\) \(\Rightarrow r \leq \rho\) ...(ii) From…
