Question 1.
Find the rank of the following matrices.
Solution:

A has at least one non-zero minor of order 2. $$\rho(\mathrm{A})$$ = 2

Question 2.
Find the rank of the following matrices.
Solution:

The last equivalent matrix is in the echelon form. It has three non-zero rows.
∴ $$\rho(\mathrm{A})$$ = 3; Here A is of order 3 × 4

Question 3.
Find the rank of the following matrices.
Solution:

The last equivalent matrix is in the echelon form. The number of non-zero rows in this matrix is two. A is a matrix of order 3 × 4. ∴ $$\rho(\mathrm{A})$$ = 2
