Solution

(i)
=12381-4215-11 =12381-7-605-11 Applying R2R2-R1=123 81-7-602-90 Applying R3R3-R1=12-7-62-9=1263 + 12= 1275 = 752square units

(ii)
=122711111081 =12271-1-601081 Applying R2R2-R1=12 2 71-1-60 8 10 Applying R3R3-R1=12-1-681=12-1 + 48=1247 = 472square units

(iii)
=12-1-81-2-31321 =12-1-81-150321 Applying R2R2-R1=12-1-81-1504100 Applying R3R3-R1=12-15410=12-10-20=1230=15 square units

(iv)
=12001601431 =12001600431 Applying R2R2-R1=12001600430 Applying R3R3-R1=126043=1218-0=1218=9 square units
