Options
- A1
- B2
- C3
- D4
Correct answer
C. 3
Step-by-step solution
Consider the matrix, 1 4 - 1 2 3 0 0 1 2 A is the matrix of the order 3 × 3 Now, A = 1 4 - 1 2 3 0 0 1 2 = 1 6 - 0 - 4 4 - 0 - 1 2 - 0 = 6 - 16 - 2 = - 12 ≠ 0 ⇒ A ≠ 0 Rank of matrix A = Order of matrix = 3 Rank of given matrix = 3 .
