Which of the following are TRUE?

(A) The inverse of [3−327]\begin{bmatrix} 3 & -3 \\ 2 & 7 \end{bmatrix} is 127[73−23]\frac{1}{27}\begin{bmatrix} 7 & 3 \\ -2 & 3 \end{bmatrix}.

(B) The determinant of [3−327]\begin{bmatrix} 3 & -3 \\ 2 & 7 \end{bmatrix} is 29.

(C) The inverse of [3−327]\begin{bmatrix} 3 & -3 \\ 2 & 7 \end{bmatrix} is 129[73−23]\frac{1}{29}\begin{bmatrix} 7 & 3 \\ -2 & 3 \end{bmatrix}.

(D) The adjoint of [3−327]\begin{bmatrix} 3 & -3 \\ 2 & 7 \end{bmatrix} is [73−23]\begin{bmatrix} 7 & 3 \\ -2 & 3 \end{bmatrix}.

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 1

The determinant is 3(7)−(−3)(2)=273(7) - (-3)(2) = 27, so (B) is false. The adjoint is [73−23]\begin{bmatrix} 7 & 3 \\ -2 & 3 \end{bmatrix}, making (D) true, and the inverse is 127\frac{1}{27} times the adjoint, making (A) true and (C) false.
