The matrix X for which [5411]X=[1−213]\begin{bmatrix}5 & 4\\1 & 1\end{bmatrix}X=\begin{bmatrix}1 & -2\\1 & 3\end{bmatrix} is

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 3

Let P=[5411]P=\begin{bmatrix}5&4\\1&1\end{bmatrix}, with ∣P∣=1|P|=1 and P−1=[1−4−15]P^{-1}=\begin{bmatrix}1&-4\\-1&5\end{bmatrix}.

Then X=P−1[1−213]=[−3−14417]X=P^{-1}\begin{bmatrix}1&-2\\1&3\end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}-3&-14\\4&17\end{bmatrix}.
