Find the value of a, b, c and d from the equation:



Since, the given matrices are equal, their corresponding elements are also equal.


Comparing the corresponding element, we have:


a –b = -1 …(1)


2a – b = 0 …(2)


2a + c = 5 …(3)


3c + d = 13 …(4)


From equation (2), we get:


b = 2a


Then, from eq. (1), we get,


a -2a = -1


a = 1


b = 2


Now, from eq. (3), we get:


2 × 1 + c = 5


c = 3


From (4), we get,


3 × 3 + d = 13


9 + d = 13


d = 4


Therefore, a = 1, b = 2, c = 3 and d = 4.
