$\displaystyle \begin{bmatrix} x+y & y \\ 2x & x-y \end{bmatrix} \: \begin{bmatrix} 2 \\ -2 \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} 3 \\ 2 \end{bmatrix}$ then

$x-y$ is equal to

0%
$2$
0%
$-2$
0%
$4$
0%
$6$

Explanation

Comparing LHS and RHS gives us

$2x+2y-2y=3$ ...(i)

And

$4x-2x+2y=2$ ...(ii)

from i

$2x=3$ and from ii

$2x+2y=2$

Therefore

$3+2y=3$

$y=\dfrac{-1}{2}$ and

$x=\dfrac{3}{2}$

Hence

$x-y=\dfrac{3}{2}-(\dfrac{-1}{2})$

$=\dfrac{4}{2}$

$=2$ .

Explanation

$\displaystyle A = \begin{bmatrix} 3 & 1 \\ -1 & 2 \\ 0 & 6 \end{bmatrix}$ and

$\displaystyle B=\begin{bmatrix} 5 & 4 & 6 \\ 4 & 1 & 2 \\ -5 & -1 & 1 \end{bmatrix}$

Order of

$A$ is

$3\times2$
Order of

$B$ is

$3\times3$

Order of

$A$ and

$B$ are not same. So ,

$A+B$ does not exists.

Again ,

$AB$ also does not exists as the number of columns of

$A$ are not equal to the number of rows of

$B.$

Here,

$BA$ exists as the number of columns of

$B$ is equal to the number of rows of

$A$ .

$\displaystyle A = \begin{bmatrix} 0 & c & -b \\ -c & 0 & a \\ b & -a & 0 \end{bmatrix}$ and

$\displaystyle B = \begin{bmatrix} a^2 & ab & ac \\ ba & b^2 & bc \\ ca & cb & c^2 \end{bmatrix}$

Now,

$AB=\begin{bmatrix} 0 & c & -b \\ -c & 0 & a \\ b & -a & 0 \end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix} a^{ 2 } & ab & ac \\ ba & b^{ 2 } & bc \\ ca & cb & c^{ 2 } \end{bmatrix}$

$\Rightarrow AB=\begin{bmatrix} 0 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 0 \end{bmatrix}$

$A = \begin{bmatrix}1 & 3 & 0 \\ -1 & 2 & 1 \\ 0 & 0 & 2 \end{bmatrix}, \space B = \begin{bmatrix}2 & 3 & 4 \\ 1 & 2 & 3 \\ -1 & 1 & 2 \end{bmatrix}$ , then

0%
$\begin{bmatrix}5 & -9 & 13 \\ 1 & -2 & 4 \\ -2 & 2 & 4\end{bmatrix}$

Explanation

Given,

$A = \begin{bmatrix}1 & 3 & 0 \\ -1 & 2 & 1 \\ 0 & 0 & 2 \end{bmatrix}$ and

$B = \begin{bmatrix}2 & 3 & 4 \\ 1 & 2 & 3 \\ -1 & 1 & 2 \end{bmatrix}$

$AB=\begin{bmatrix}1 & 3 & 0 \\ -1 & 2 & 1 \\ 0 & 0 & 2 \end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix}2 & 3 & 4 \\ 1 & 2 & 3 \\ -1 & 1 & 2 \end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}5 & 9 & 13 \\ -1 & 2 & 4 \\ -2 & 2 & 4\end{bmatrix}$

Hence, option A is correct.

Given

$A = \begin{bmatrix}1 & -1 \\ 2 & -1\end{bmatrix}$ , which of the following result is true?

0%
$A^2 = I$
0%
$A^2 = -I$
0%
$A^2 = 2I$
0%
None of these

Explanation

Given,

$A = \begin{bmatrix}1 & -1 \\ 2 & -1\end{bmatrix}$

Now,

$A^{2}=\begin{bmatrix} 1 & -1 \\ 2 & -1 \end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix} 1 & -1 \\ 2 & -1 \end{bmatrix}$

$=\begin{bmatrix} -1 & 0 \\ 0 & -1 \end{bmatrix}$

$\Rightarrow A^{2}=-I$

0%
$5$
0%
$2$
0%
$4$

Explanation

$A = \begin{bmatrix}4 & x+2 \\ 2x-3 & x+1\end{bmatrix}$

$A^{T}=\begin{bmatrix}4 & 2x-3 \\ x+2 & x+1\end{bmatrix}$

$A$ is symmetric.

$\therefore\quad A=A^{T}$

$\Rightarrow 2x-3=x+2$

$\therefore x=5$
Hence, option B.

Option B,
Consider,

$A\begin{bmatrix} 1 & -2 \\ 1 & 4 \end{bmatrix}$

$\begin{bmatrix} -1 & 1 \\ 4 & 2 \end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix} 1 & -2 \\ 1 & 4 \end{bmatrix}$

$=\begin{bmatrix} 0 & 6 \\ 6 & 0 \end{bmatrix}$

$\ne RHS$
Hence, option

$A$ .

Option C,
Consider,

$A\begin{bmatrix} 1 & -2 \\ 1 & 4 \end{bmatrix}$

$=\begin{bmatrix} 4 & 2 \\ -1 & 1 \end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix} 1 & -2 \\ 1 & 4 \end{bmatrix}$

$\quad = \begin{pmatrix}9 & 8 & 8 \\ 8 & 9 & 8 \\ 8 & 8 & 9\end{pmatrix}$

$\therefore \quad A^2 - 4A = \begin{pmatrix}9 & 8 & 8 \\ 8 & 9 & 8 \\ 8 & 8 & 9\end{pmatrix} - 4\begin{pmatrix}1& 2 & 2 \\ 2 & 1 & 2 \\ 2 & 2 & 1\end{pmatrix}$

$\quad = \begin{pmatrix}9&8&8 \\ 8&9&8 \\ 8&8&9\end{pmatrix} - \begin{pmatrix}4&8&8 \\ 8&4&4 \\ 4&4&8\end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix}5&0&0 \\ 0&5&0 \\ 0&0&5\end{pmatrix}=5I$

$\displaystyle A=\begin{pmatrix}0 &a &b \\-a &0 &c \\-b &-c &0 \end{pmatrix}$

$\displaystyle \therefore A^{T}=\begin{pmatrix}0 &-a &-b \\a &0 &-c \\b &c &0 \end{pmatrix}$

0%
$A$ is not invertible.

Explanation

Let

$A=\begin{bmatrix} a & \alpha & \beta \\ -\alpha & b & \gamma \\ -\beta & -\gamma & c \end{bmatrix}\quad \Rightarrow \quad -A=\begin{bmatrix} -a & -\alpha & -\beta \\ \alpha & -b & -\gamma \\ \beta & \gamma & -c \end{bmatrix}$

$A^{ T }=\begin{bmatrix} a & -\alpha & -\beta \\ \alpha & b & -\gamma \\ \beta & \gamma & c \end{bmatrix}$

since A is a skew-symmetric matrix

$A^{T}=-A$

$\Rightarrow a=-a,b=-b,c=-c$

$\Rightarrow a=b=c=0$

$\therefore a_{ii}=0$ for all i

$A^{T}=-A$

$\Rightarrow A^{T}+A=O$

$|A|=0$ (

$\because$ A is a skew-symmetric of odd order)

since

$|A|=0$ A is not invertible. (

$\because$ only non-singular matrices are invertible).

$\displaystyle A=\begin{bmatrix}a &b \\b &a \end{bmatrix}$ and

$\displaystyle A^{2} =\begin{bmatrix}\alpha & \beta \\\beta & \alpha \end{bmatrix}$ then

0%
$\displaystyle \alpha=a^{2}+b^{2},\beta =2ab$
0%
$\displaystyle \alpha=a^{2}+b^{2},\beta =a^{2}-b^{2}$
0%
$\displaystyle \alpha=2ab ,\beta =a^{2}+b^{2}$
0%
$\displaystyle \alpha=a^{2}+b^{2},\beta =ab$

Explanation

$\displaystyle A^{2}=AA=\begin{pmatrix}a &b \\b &a \end{pmatrix}\begin{pmatrix}a &b \\b &a \end{pmatrix}$

$\displaystyle =\begin{pmatrix}a^{2}+b^{2} &2ab \\2ab &a^{2}+b^{2} \end{pmatrix}$

$\displaystyle = \begin{pmatrix} \alpha &\beta \\\beta &\alpha \end{pmatrix}$

$\omega \neq 1$ is cube root of unity, and

0%
symmetric
0%
skew symmetric
0%
singular
0%
orthogonal

Explanation

$A=\begin{bmatrix} 1&\omega &\omega ^2 \\\omega & \omega ^2 &1 \\ \omega ^2 &1 &\omega \end{bmatrix}$

$A^{T}=\begin{bmatrix} 1&\omega &\omega ^2 \\\omega & \omega ^2 &1 \\ \omega ^2 &1 &\omega \end{bmatrix}$

$\Rightarrow A^{T}=A$

i.e

$A$ is a symmetric matrix.

$|A|=\begin{vmatrix} 1&\omega &\omega ^2 \\\omega & \omega ^2 &1 \\ \omega ^2 &1 &\omega \end{vmatrix}=0$

i.e

$A$ is singular.

Hence, options A and C.

Let

$A$ be a symmetric matrix such that

$A^5 =0$ and

$B=I +A + A^2 +A^3 +A^4$ , then

$B$ is

0%
symmetric
0%
singular
0%
non-singular
0%
skew symmetric

Explanation

Given

$A$ be a symmetric matrix such that

$A^5 =0$ and

$B=I +A + A^2 +A^3 +A^4$

$B^{-1}=(I+A+A^2+A^3+A^4)^{-1}=I'+A^{-1}+(A^{-1})^2+(A^{-1})^3+(A^{-1})^4=I +A + A^2 +A^3 +A^4=B$

$\therefore B$ is symmetric.

$BA=(I +A + A^2 +A^3 +A^4)A=A + A^2 +A^3 +A^4+A^5=B-I$

$\Rightarrow BA=B-I$

$\Rightarrow B(I-A)=I \Rightarrow B^{-1}=I-A$

$B^{-1}$ exists.

$\therefore B$ is non-singualr.
Hence, options A and C.

$A =\begin{bmatrix}\alpha &\beta \\\gamma &-\alpha \end{bmatrix}$ is such that

$A^2 = I$ , then

0%
$1 +\alpha^2+\beta\gamma=0$
0%
$1 -\alpha^2-\beta\gamma=0$
0%
$1 -\alpha^2+\beta\gamma=0$
0%
$1 +\alpha^2-\beta\gamma=0$

Explanation

$A =\begin{bmatrix}\alpha &\beta \\\gamma &-\alpha \end{bmatrix}$

$A^2=\begin{bmatrix}\alpha^2+\beta \gamma &\alpha \beta-\alpha \beta \\\alpha \gamma - \alpha \gamma&\beta \gamma +\alpha^2 \end{bmatrix}$
but,

$A^2=I$

$\Rightarrow \alpha ^2+\beta \gamma = 1$

$\Rightarrow 1 -\alpha ^2-\beta \gamma=0$
Hence, option B is correct.

$A$ and

$B$ are two matrices of the same order, then

0%
$A^2 -B^2 = (A + B) (A -B)$
0%
$A^2=I\Leftrightarrow (A + I) (A -I) = 0$
0%
$(A')' = A$
0%
$A + A'$ is symmetric

Explanation

A and B

$\rightarrow$ Two matrices of same order

Option A:

${ A }^{ 2 }-{ B }^{ 2 }=\left( A+B \right) \left( A-B \right)$

RHS

$={ A }^{ 2 }-AB+BA+{ B }^{ 2 }$

RHS

$=$ LHS if and only if

$AB=BA$

$\rightarrow$ Option A is not true for all cases

Option B:

${ A }^{ 2 }=I\Leftrightarrow \left( A+I \right) \left( A-I \right) =0$

RHS

$={ A }^{ 2 }-A+A-I=0$

$\Rightarrow { A }^{ 2 }=I$

$\Rightarrow$ Option B is correct

Option C:

${ \left( { A }^{ T } \right) }^{ T }=A$

Transpose means we reverse the columns and rows

Let C be columns and R be rows

${ A }^{ T }$ means C becomes rows

${ \left( { A }^{ ' } \right) }^{ ' }$ mean columns and rows are again interchanged

$C\rightarrow$ columns

$R\rightarrow$ rows

$\therefore { \left( { A }^{ ' } \right) }^{ ' }=A$

Option C is correct

Option D Let

$A+{ A }^{ T }=P\quad { P }^{ T }={ \left( A+{ A }^{ ' } \right) }^{ ' }={ A }^{ ' }+A$

$\therefore P={ P }^{ T }\quad \therefore A+{ A }^{ T }={ \left( A+{ A }^{ T } \right) }^{ T }\Rightarrow$ symmetric

Option D is correct

$A =\begin{bmatrix} ab&b^2 \\-a^2 &-ab \end{bmatrix}$ , then

$A^2$ is equal

0%
$O$
0%
$I$
0%
$-I$
0%
none of these

Explanation

$A =\begin{bmatrix} ab&b^2 \\-a^2 &-ab \end{bmatrix}$

$A^2=\begin{bmatrix} ab&b^2 \\-a^2 &-ab \end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix} ab&b^2 \\-a^2 &-ab \end{bmatrix}$

$=\begin{bmatrix} a^{ 2 }b^{ 2 }-a^{ 2 }b^{ 2 } & ab^{ 3 }-ab^{ 3 } \\ -a^{ 3 }b+a^{ 3 }b & -a^{ 2 }b^{ 2 }+a^{ 2 }b^{ 2 } \end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix} 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 \end{bmatrix}$

$\therefore A^2=\begin{bmatrix} 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 \end{bmatrix} =O$
Hence, option A.

If A is any square matrix then (1/2)

$\displaystyle \left ( A+A^{T} \right )$ is a _____ matrix

0%
symmetric
0%
skew symmetric
0%
scalar
0%
identity

Explanation

Given

$\cfrac { 1 }{ 2 } \left( A+{ A }^{ T } \right)$

Let

$A+{ A }^{ T }=P$

Then

${ P }^{ T }={ \left( A+{ A }^{ T } \right) }^{ T }=A+{ A }^{ T }=P$

$\because { P }^{ T }=P$

$\Rightarrow { \left( A+{ A }^{ T } \right) }^{ T }=A+{ A }^{ T }$

$\Rightarrow \cfrac { 1 }{ 2 } \left( A+{ A }^{ T } \right)$ is symmetric

OPTION A

Find the value of

$x$ and

$y$ that satisfy the equation:

$\begin{bmatrix} 3&-2 \\3 &0 \\2 &4 \end{bmatrix} \begin{bmatrix} y&y \\x &x \end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix} 3&3 \\3y &3y \\10 &10 \end{bmatrix}$

0%
$x=3/2, \:y = 2$
0%
$x=2, \:y = 3/2$
0%
$x=3, \:y = 2$
0%
$x=2, \:y = 3$

Explanation

$\left[ \begin{matrix} 3\quad & -2 \\ 3 & \quad 0 \\ 2 & \quad 4 \end{matrix} \right] \begin{bmatrix} y\quad & y \\ x\quad & x \end{bmatrix}=\left[ \begin{matrix} 3\quad & 3 \\ 3y\quad & 3y \\ 10\quad & 10 \end{matrix} \right] \\ \Rightarrow \left[ \begin{matrix} 3y-2x\quad & 3y-2x \\ 3y\quad & 3y \\ 2y+4x\quad & 2y+4x \end{matrix} \right] =\left[ \begin{matrix} 3 & \quad 3 \\ 3y\quad & 3y \\ 10\quad & 10 \end{matrix} \right]$

$\therefore 3y-2x=3$ and

$2y+4x=10$

$\displaystyle \Rightarrow x=\frac { 3 }{ 2 } ,y=2$

Let

$A$ be square matrix. Then which of the following is not a symmetric matrix.

0%
$A+A'$
0%
$AA'$
0%
$A'A$
0%
$A-A'$

Explanation

$A$ is a square matrix, then and if

$A'$ represents its transpose, then

$A+A'$ is symmetric and

$A-A'$ is skew symmetric.
Hence matrix A can be written as

$A=(\dfrac{A+A'}{2})+(\dfrac{A-A'}{2})$

Therefore of all the above matrix,

$A-A'$ is not symmetric.

Say true or false:

All positive odd integral powers of skew-symmetric matrix are symmetric.
