    While finding the rank of some matrix then you have to take care of following: 1) Find the determinant. If determinant is not zero then rank of n×n matrix will be n. If determinant is zero then you have to find a non-zero cofactor. Then rank of the matrix will be n-1. 2) Yes, you have to do row and column operations while finding the rank of the matrix.
