Question

Let AX = B represents a system of equations where A is 2x3 real matrix. The system is known to be inconsistent. The highest possible rank of A is. A) 2 B) 3 C) 1 D) Can’t be determined ​

Answer 1

Answer:

1

Step-by-step explanation:

Ax = B

[A]2×3 , system is inconsistent

when R(A)=R (A/B)both are equal value then consistent .

but this is saying in this question system is inconsistent so , R(A)not equal to R(A/B).

R(A)= 2 ,R(A/B)= 2

but these are not similar because it is consistent, so

R(A ) should be less than 2,

so right answer is 1 .
