Provide solution for rd sharma math class class 12 chapter Algebra of matrices exercise 4.3 question 36
Answer: k=7
Hint: Matrix multiplication is only possible, when the number of columns of first matrix is equal to the number of rows of second matrix.
Given: and
I is an identity matrix. So,
Now, we have to find , we get
Now, we will find the matrix 8A, we get
So, substituting corresponding values from equation i & ii in equation
And to satisfy the above conditions of equality, the corresponding entries of the matrices should be equal
Hence,
1-8+k-0
k=8-1=7
Therefore, the value of k=7
