  1. A \(-6\)
  2. B \(\frac{-1}{6}\)
  3. C \(\frac{1}{36}\)
  4. D 36
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\frac{-1}{6}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(
\begin{aligned}
& \text { We have } A=\left[\begin{array}{lll}
1 & 0 & 1 \\
0 & 2 & 3 \\
1 & 2 & 1
\end{array}\right] \\
& \therefore|A|=(2-6)+(0-2)=-6
\end{aligned}
\)
We know that \(\left|\mathrm{A}^{-1}\right|=\frac{1}{|\mathrm{~A}|}\)
\(
\therefore\left|\mathrm{A}^{-1}\right|=\frac{1}{-6}
\)
