$A =\begin{bmatrix} 2 & 1\\ 7 & 4 \end{bmatrix}$

$A=IA$

$\Rightarrow$ $\begin{bmatrix} 2 & 1\\ 7 & 4 \end{bmatrix}$ $= \begin{bmatrix}1&0\\0&1 \end{bmatrix}A$

$R_2\rightarrow R_2-3R_1$

$\Rightarrow$ $\begin{bmatrix} 2 & 1\\ 1 & 1 \end{bmatrix}$ $= \begin{bmatrix}1&0\\-3&1 \end{bmatrix}A$

$\Rightarrow$ $R_1\rightarrow R_1-R_2$

$\Rightarrow$ $\begin{bmatrix} 1 & 0\\ 1 & 1 \end{bmatrix}$ $= \begin{bmatrix}4&-1\\-3&1 \end{bmatrix}A$

$R_2\rightarrow R_2-R_1$

$\Rightarrow$ $\begin{bmatrix} 1 & 0\\ 0 & 1 \end{bmatrix}$ $= \begin{bmatrix}4&-1\\-7&2 \end{bmatrix}A$

$\therefore A^{-1}=$ $\begin{bmatrix}4&-1\\-7&2 \end{bmatrix}$ .

Thus the inverse of matrix A is obtained.
