• Matrices are one of the most commonly used tools in many fields such
as Economics, Commerce and Industry. We have already studied the
basic properties of matrices. In this chapter we will study about the
elementary transformations to develop new methods for various
applications of matrices.
Concept of Rank of a
matrix
• Enables us to bring together a number of loose ends matrix theory and to
develop some basic ideas in more details. It also plays an important role in
the application of matrices to linear problems. It helps us to find the
consistency of a system of simultaneous linear equations (Next
Presentation)
• With each matrix, we can associate a non-negative integer called its rank.
• The maximum number of linearly independent rows in a matrix A is
called the row rank of A, and the maximum number of linearly
independent columns in A is called the column rank of A.
Rank of A
matrix
• Solution A = 1 5
3 9
• It is a 2 x 2 matrix so, the rank of Matrix A (p(a)) ≥
2
• Determinant of A (|A|) = 9 – 15 = -6 ≠ 0
• Therefore Rank of Matrix A = 2

• p(A) = 3
• The rank of Matrix A = 3
