A matrix is said to be of rank r when it contains at least one non-zero minor of order r and no such minor of order r + 1. The rank of a matrix is denoted by ρ(A). By means of elementary transformations every non-zero matrix of rank r can be reduced to one of the following formsAIr⋮0………0 0 B Ir⋯0 C [Ir⋮0] D [Ir]Where Ir is a r-rowed unit matrix. These are called the normal forms of the given matrix and the value of r is the rank of the matrix. In order to find the rank of a given matrix, reduce the matrix to its normal form. This process of reducing a matrix of rank r to its normal form is known as ‘The sweep-out process’.The rank of the matrix A=012112323113 isRank of the matrix A=1−12−3410203140102 isThe rank of the matrix A=134339129−1−3−4−3 is
