(a) Given that $ \displaystyle A=\left( {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} {\cos \theta } & {-\sin \theta } \\ {\sin \theta } & {\cos \theta } \end{array}} \right).$ Determine whether $\displaystyle {{A}^{{-1}}}$ exists or not, if exists find $\displaystyle {{A}^{{-1}}}.$ Hence solve the system of equations $\displaystyle x\cos \theta -y\sin \theta =2$ and $\displaystyle x\sin \theta +y\cos \theta =2\sqrt{3}$ when $\displaystyle \theta=30°.$

$ \displaystyle \begin{array}{l}\ \ \ \ \ \ \text{Set of possible outcomes}=\left\{ {200,201,202,...,299} \right\}\\\\\therefore \ \ \ \ \text{Number of possible outcomes}=100\\\\\ \ \ \ \ \ \text{The numbers between 200 and 299 }\\\ \ \ \ \ \ \text{which are divisible by 3 are}\ \\\\\ \ \ \ \ \ 201,204,205,...,297.\\\\\ \ \ \ \ \ \text{It is an A}\text{.P with }a=201\ \operatorname{and}\ d=3.\\\\\therefore \ \ \ \ {{u}_{n}}=99\\\\\therefore \ \ \ \ a+(n-1)d=297\\\\\therefore \ \ \ \ 201+(n-1)3=297\\\\\therefore \ \ \ \ n=33\\\\\therefore \ \ \ \ \text{Number of favourable outcomes}=33\\\\\therefore \ \ \ \ P(\text{a number divisible by3)}=\displaystyle \frac{{33}}{{100}}.\end{array}$
