Let \(A=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}2 & -3 & 4 \\ 0 & 1 & 5 \\ -4 & 2 & 3\end{array}\right]\), and \(a_{i j}\) be any element of \(A, i, j \in\{1,2,3\}\), then which of the following are TRUE?
(A) Minor of \(a_{23}=16\)
(B) Minor of \(a_{23}=-8\)
(C) Cofactor of \(a_{23}=-16\)
(D) Cofactor of \(a_{23}=8\)
(E) Cofactor of \(a_{13}=4\)
Choose the correct answer from the options given below :

  1. A (A) and (C) only
  2. B (B) and (C) only
  3. C (B), (D) and (E) only
  4. D (A), (C) and (E) only
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) (B), (D) and (E) only

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(M_{23} = \det \begin{bmatrix} 2 & -3 \\ -4 & 2 \end{bmatrix} = (2)(2) - (-3)(-4) = 4 - 12 = -8\) Therefore, (B) Minor of \(a_{23}=-8\) is TRUE. \(C_{23} = (-1)^{2+3} M_{23} = -(-8) = 8\) Therefore, (D) Cofactor of \(a_{23}=8\) is TRUE.…
