Let A be an m × n matrix. Let A(1, :), A(:, 1), and A(1, 1) be the matrices obtained from A by deleting row 1, deleting column 1, and deleting both row 1 and column 1 respectively. Which of the following inequalities always holds?
- 1rank A(1, :) + rank A(:, 1) + 2 ≥ 2 rank(A)
- 2If rank(A) = rank A(1, :) = rank A(:, 1), then rank(A) = rank A(1, 1)
- 3rank A(1, :) = rank A(:, 1)
- 4rank(A) - 2 ≤ rank A(1, 1) ≤ rank(A)✓
Correct answer
rank(A) - 2 ≤ rank A(1, 1) ≤ rank(A)
