Here,

We have to find A^-1 and

Firstly, we find the adj A and for that we have to find co-factors:

a₁₁ (co – factor of 3) = (-1)¹⁺¹(2) = (-1)²(2) = 2

a₁₂ (co – factor of -5) = (-1)¹⁺²(-1) = (-1)³(-1) = 1

a₂₁ (co – factor of -1) = (-1)²⁺¹(-5) = (-1)³(-5) = 5

a₂₂ (co – factor of 2) = (-1)²⁺²(3) = (-1)⁴(3) = 3

Now, adj A = Transpose of co-factor Matrix

Calculating |A|

= [3 × 2 – (-1) × (-5)]

= (6 – 5)

= 1

Ans.
