Correct Answer: Option D
Explanation

P = \(\begin{pmatrix} 2 & -3 \\ 1 & 1 \end{pmatrix}\)

|P| = 2 - 1 x -3 = 5

P-1 = \(\frac{1}{5}\)\(\begin{pmatrix} 1 & 3 \\ -1 & 2 \end{pmatrix}\)

= \(\begin{pmatrix} {\frac{1}{5}} & {\frac{3}{5}} \\ -{\frac{1}{5}} & {\frac{2}{5}} \end{pmatrix}\)

There is an explanation video available below.
