If A is a square matrix using from first 10 prime numbers, then the probability that A is a non invertible matrix, is

Answer»

Answer is (0.019)

Let A = \(\begin{bmatrix}a&b\\c&d\end{bmatrix}\)

so total number of matrix formed = 104

For non-invertible matrix |A| = ad - bc = 0

⇒ ad = bc

Case I a ≠ d

(10 x 9) x 2!

Case II a = d

10 x 1

So required probability = \(\frac{10\times9\times2!+10}{10^4}\)

 = \(\frac{19}{1000}\) = 0.019
