Hi,

MaxRow[mtx_?MatrixQ] := MaxRow /@ mtx
MaxRow[lst_List] := Position[lst, Max[lst]] /. {i_Integer} :> i

and

MaxRow[{{82, 71, 62, 47}, {52, 96, 31, 36}, {94, 52, 86, 12}}]

will return

{{1}, {2}, {1}}

I would not suggest to have a result like
{1,2,1}

because you can have more than a single occurrence
of the maximum and
MaxRow[{{82, 71, 82, 47}, {52, 96, 31, 36}, {94, 52, 86, 12}}]

will return
{{1, 3}, {2}, {1}}
as it should.
Regards
