If A=[975642138]A = \begin{bmatrix} 9 & 7 & 5 \\ 6 & 4 & 2 \\ 1 & 3 & 8 \end{bmatrix}, then (cofactor of a13a_{13} - cofactor of a32a_{32} )will be equal to :

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 4

Cofactor of a13=+∣6413∣=18−4=14a_{13} = +\begin{vmatrix}6&4\\1&3\end{vmatrix} = 18-4 = 14.

Cofactor of a32=−∣9562∣=−(18−30)=12a_{32} = -\begin{vmatrix}9&5\\6&2\end{vmatrix} = -(18-30) = 12.

Their difference is 14−12=214-12 = 2.
