Find the values ofa, b, c and d from the following equations:



Answer -

Given

We know that if two matrices are equal then the elements of eachmatrices are also equal.

Given that two matrices are equal.

Therefore by equating them we get,

2a + b = 4 …… (1)

And a – 2b = – 3 …… (2)

And 5c – d = 11 …… (3)

4c + 3d = 24 …… (4)

Multiplying equation (1) by 2 and adding to equation (2)

4a + 2b + a – 2b = 8 – 3

 5a= 5

 a= 1

Now, substituting the value of a in equation (1)

2 × 1 + b = 4

 2+ b = 4

 b= 4 – 2

 b= 2

Multiplying equation (3) by 3 and adding to equation (4)

15c – 3d + 4c + 3d = 33 + 24

 19c= 57

 c= 3

Now, substituting the value of c in equation (4)

4 × 3 + 3d = 24

 12+ 3d = 24

 3d= 24 – 12

 3d= 12

 d= 4

 a= 1, b = 2, c = 3 and d = 4
