In a matrix A , if all the sub matrices or k orcer are singular and there is one non-singular sub matrix of order r (r < k) , then the rank ( ) of the matrix A
Options
- Asatisfies r < k
- Bis equal to r
- Cis equal to ( k -1)
- Dis equal to ( k +1)
Correct answer
A. satisfies r < k
Step-by-step solution
Since, all the sub-matrices of k^ th order are singular. Rank of A= < k < k ...(i) Also, there is one non-singular sub matrix of order r . So, r Rank of A r ...(ii) From eqn. (1) and (11), we get r < k
