Which of the following elementary operations has been applied to the matrix A=\(\begin{bmatrix}8&5\\2&8\end{bmatrix}\) such that the new matrix is \(\begin{bmatrix}12&21\\2&8\end{bmatrix}\)?(a) R1→R1-2R2(b) R1→2R1+R2(c) R1→R2+R1(d) R1→R1+2R2The question was posed to me by my school principal while I was bunking the class.Origin of the question is Elementary Operation (Transformation) of a Matrix in division Matrices of Mathematics – Class 12

Answer»

Correct option is (d) R1→R1+2R2

To elaborate: The GIVEN matrix is A=\(\begin{bmatrix}8&5\\2&8\end{bmatrix}\)

APPLYING the elementary operation R1→R1+2R2, we GET

\(\begin{bmatrix}8+2(2)&5+2(8)\\2&8\end{bmatrix}\)=\(\begin{bmatrix}12&21\\2&8\end{bmatrix}\).
