Detailed Solution

Given : A=111102311

To find A-1, we need cofactors of each element of matrix A.

cofactor of a11=(-1)1+10211=-2

cofactor of a12=(-1)1+21231=-(1-6)=5

cofactor of a13=(-1)1+31031=1

cofactor of a21=(-1)2+11111=0

cofactor of a22=(-1)2+21131=(1-3)=-2

cofactor of a23=(-1)2+31131=-(1-3)=2

cofactor of a31=(-1)3+11102=2

cofactor of a32=(-1)3+21112=-(2-1)=-1

cofactor of a33=(-1)3+31110=-1

So,

cofactor of matrix of A=-2510-222-11

Now, we know that transpose of cofactor matrix A is adj (A).

adj (A)=-2025-2-112-1

For, |A|

|A|=1(0-2)-1(1-6)+(1-0) =-2+5+1 =4 & A-1=1|A| adj (A)

 A-1=14-2025-2-112-1

Now, given system equations are, 

x+y+z=6,   x+2z=7, 3x+y+z=12

Writing the above equation in matrix form

111102311 xyz=6712 AX=B X=A-1B  xyz=14-2025-2-112-1 6712

 xyz=14-12+0+2430-14-126+14-12  xyz=141248  xyz=312

Therefore, solutions are x=3, y=1 and z=2.

                                          OR

We know that A=IA, hence

12-2-1300-21=100010001A 12-205-20-21=100110001 A Applying R2R2+R1 12-20100-21=100112001 A Applying R2R2+2R3 10-2010001=-1-2-4112225 A Applying R1R1+(-2)R2, R3R3+2R2 100010001=326112225 A Applying R1R1+2R3

Therefore, A-1=326112225. Which is the required answer.
