  • B $\frac{1}{5}\left[\begin{array}{cc}-3 & 2 \\ 4 & -1\end{array}\right]$
  • C $\frac{1}{5}\left[\begin{array}{ll}3 & 2 \\ 4 & 1\end{array}\right]$
  • D $\frac{1}{5}\left[\begin{array}{cc}3 & -2 \\ -4 & 1\end{array}\right]$

The correct answer is: $\frac{1}{5}\left[\begin{array}{cc}-3 & 2 \\ 4 & -1\end{array}\right]$
$\mathrm{AX}=\mathrm{I} \Rightarrow \mathrm{X}=\mathrm{A}^{-1}=\mathrm{A}^{-1}$
$\Rightarrow X=\left[\begin{array}{ll}1 & 2 \\ 4 & 3\end{array}\right]^{-1}=\frac{-1}{5}\left[\begin{array}{cc}3 & -2 \\ -4 & 1\end{array}\right]=\frac{1}{5}\left[\begin{array}{cc}-3 & 2 \\ 4 & -1\end{array}\right]$
