Let $A=\begin{vmatrix} 1&1&1\\ 1&-1&-1\\ 3&1&1\\ \end{vmatrix} $

By $R_2-R_1$

$\begin{vmatrix} 1&1&1\\ 0&-2&-2\\ 3&1&1\\ \end{vmatrix} $

By $R_3-3R_1$

$\begin{vmatrix} 1&1&1\\ 0&-2&-2\\ 3&-2&-2\\ \end{vmatrix} $

By $R_3+R_2$

$\begin{vmatrix} 1&1&1\\ 0&-2&-2\\ 0&0&0\\ \end{vmatrix} $

There are total two non-zero rows

∴ Rank of matrix is 2.
