Exercise 4.2

Question 1.

Find the values of x, y and z from the matrix equation 

Answer:

Since given is the matrix equation we would equate the right hand side elements with left hand side elements

⇒ 5x + 2 = 12 , y – 4 = – 8 and 4z + 6 = 2

⇒ 5x = 10 , y = – 4 and 4z = – 4

⇒ x = 2 , y = – 4 and z = – 1

Question 2.

Solve for x and y if 

Answer:

Since given is the matrix equation we would equate the right hand side elements with left hand side elements

2x + y = 5 …1

and x – 3y = 13 ….2

Multiplying equation 2 by 2

we get (x – 3y = 13 ) 2

2x – 6y = 26 ….3

Subtracting equation 1 and 3

Or

Y = – 3

Substituting value of y in 1

2x – 3 = 5 ⇒ 2x = 8 ⇒ x = 4

Hence the solution is x = 4 and y = – 3

Question 3.

If , then find the additive inverse of A.

Answer:

Let us first solve for the value of matrix A =

⇒ A = 

The additive inverse of A = negative of the matrix

Question 4.

Let . Find the matrix C if C = 2A + B.

Answer:

Given A =  and B = 

We have to find matrix C where C = 2A + B

Now 2A = 2 

We would multiply each term of A with 2

2A = 

2A + B =  = 

C = 

Question 5.

If  find 6A – 3B.

Answer:

Given A = 

B = 

6A = 

3B = 3 

6A – 3B = 

6A – 3B = 

Question 6.

Find a and b if a .

Answer:

⇒

⇒ 

Equating both the sides of the matrix equation

We get

2a –b = 10 …..1

And 3a + b = 5 …..2

Adding equation 1 and 2

⇒ a = 3

Putting value of a in 1

2a –b = 10

⇒ 6 –b = 10 ⇒ b = – 4

Thus the required solutions are a = 3 and b = – 4

Question 7.

Find X and Y if 2X + 3Y =  and 3X + 2Y = .

Answer:

Given 2x + 3y =  ….1

and 3x + 2y = ...2

Adding 1 and 3 equations we get,

5x + 5y = 

Dividing both the sides by 5

x + y =  …3

Now subtracting 1 from 2

X – y =  ……4

Adding 3 and 4

2x = 

X = 

Subtracting 4 from 3

2y = 

Y = 

Hence x = =  and y = 

Question 8.

Solve for x and y if 

Answer:

given

⇒ 

⇒ 

Equating each element of the matrix equation with corresponding element

x² + 6x = – 9

⇒ x² + 6x + 9 = 0

⇒ x( x + 3) + 3(x + 3) = 0

⇒ (x + 3) (x + 3) = 0

x = – 3 , – 3

y² – 3y = 4

⇒ y² – 3y – 4 = 0

⇒ y( y – 4) + 1( y – 4) = 0

⇒ (y + 1) (y – 4) = 0

⇒ y = – 1 or 4

Hence the values of x = – 3, – 3 and y = – 1 , 4

Exercise 4.3

Question 1.

Determine whether the product of the matrices is defined in each case. If so, state the

order of the product.

(i) AB, where A = [a_ij]_4x3, B = [b_ij]_3x2

(ii)PQ, where P = [p_ij]_4x3, Q = [q_ij]_4x3

(iii)MN, where M = [m_ij]_3x1, N = [n_ij]_1x5

(iv) RS, where R = [r_ij]_2x2, S = [s_ij]_2x2

Answer:

(i) The multiplication of 2 matrices is possible if number of columns in first matrix is equal to number of rows in second.

⇒ Here A[a_ij]_{4 x 3} and B = [b_ij]_3x2

⇒ Number of columns in A = 3

⇒ Number of rows in B = 3

Thus the product is defined and the order if product is

Number of rows in A × Number of columns in B

∴ AB = 4 × 3

(ii) The multiplication of 2 matrices is possible if number of columns in first matrix is equal to number of rows in second.

⇒ Here P[p_ij]_{4 x 3} and Q = [q_ij]_4x3

⇒ Number of columns in P = 3

⇒ Number of rows in Q = 4

Thus the product is not defined.

(iii) The multiplication of 2 matrices is possible if number of columns in first matrix is equal to number of rows in second.

⇒ Here M[m_ij]_{3 x 1} and N = [n_ij]_1x5

⇒ Number of columns in M = 1

⇒ Number of rows in N = 1

Thus the product is defined and the order if product is

Number of rows in M × Number of columns in N

∴ MN = 3 × 5

(iv) The multiplication of 2 matrices is possible if number of columns in first matrix is equal to number of rows in second.

⇒ Here R[r_ij]_{2 x 2} and S = [s_ij]_2x2

⇒ Number of columns in R = 2

⇒ Number of rows in S = 2

Thus the product is defined and the order if product is

Number of rows in R × Number of columns in S

∴ RS = 2 × 2

Question 2.

Find the product of the matrices, if exists,

(i)  (ii) 

(iii)  (iv) 

Answer:

⇒ let B :  ∴ B[b_ij]_{2 × 1}

Number of columns in A = 2

Number of rows in B = 2

Thus the product is defined and the order if product is

Number of rows in A × Number of columns in B

∴ AB = 1 × 1

⇒ [2 × 5 + (-1) × 4]

⇒ [10-4]

⇒ [6]

(ii) ⇒ let A :  ∴ A[a_ij]_{2 × 2}

⇒ let B : ∴ B[b_ij]_{2 × 2}

Number of columns in A = 2

Number of rows in B = 2

Thus the product is defined and the order if product is

Number of rows in A × Number of columns in B

∴ AB = 2 × 2

⇒ 

⇒ 

(iii) ⇒ let A :  ∴ A[a_ij]_{2 × 3}

⇒ let B : ∴ B[b_ij]_{3 × 2}

Number of columns in A = 3

Number of rows in B = 3

Thus the product is defined and the order if product is

Number of rows in A × Number of columns in B

∴ AB = 2 × 2

⇒ 

⇒ 

(iv) let A :  ∴ A[a_ij]_{2 × 1}

let B : [2 7] ∴ B[b_ij]_{1 × 2}

Number of columns in A = 1

Number of rows in B = 1

Thus the product is defined and the order if product is

Number of rows in A × Number of columns in B

∴ AB = 2 × 2

Exercise 4.4

Question 1.

Which one of the following statements is not true?
A. A scalar matrix is a square matrix

B. A diagonal matrix is a square matrix

C. A scalar matrix is a diagonal matrix

D. A diagonal matrix is a scalar matrix.

Answer:

In the above question we see the following terms,

Scalar Matrix, Square Matrix, Diagonal Matrix

To answer this question, we have to know the definition of the above terms.

Square Matrix:

If the rows and columns of the matrices are equal then it will constitute square like structure. So, it is called as square matrix.

E.g.

Diagonal Matrix:

In a square matrix all the elements are zero except the diagonal elements of the matrix. Then that matrix is said to be diagonal matrix.

E.g.

Scalar Matrix:

In a diagonal matrix, if all the diagonal elements are same then that matrix is said to be a scalar matrix.

E.g.

Option(A):

A scalar matrix should be a square matrix so, it is true

Option(B):

Diagonal matrix forms only with the square matrix so, it is true

Option(C):

A scalar matrix consists of zero except the diagonal elements so it is true.

Option(D):

A scalar matrix should comprise of same diagonal elements but in diagonal matrix it may (or) may not contains same diagonal elements. So it is False.

Option(D) is not True in the given.

Question 2.

Matrix A-[a_ij]_mxn is a square matrix if
A. m < n

B. m > n

C. m = 1

D. m = n

Answer:

Given that A is a matrix with m and n as their rows and columns respectively.

We know that for a square matrix both m and n should be equal

So, m = n is the correct answer.

Question 3.

If  then the values of x and y respectively are
A. –2, 7

B. 

C. 

D. 2, –7

Answer:

Given,

 = 

If the one matrix is equivalent to other matrix, then their elements should be equal.

⇒ 3x + 7 = 1 & 5 = y-2

3x = -6 ; y = 7

x = -2 ; y = 7

∴ Option (A) is the answer.

Question 4.

If A = (1 -2 3) and  then A + B
A. (0 0 0)

B. 

C. (-14)

D. not defined

Answer:

For matrix addition operation their no. of rows and no. of columns should be equal. Otherwise addition is not possible.

In the given matrix A has 1 row and 3 columns

But matrix B has 3 rows and 1 column.

Since rows and columns are not equal it is not possible to add.

So the answer is (d)

Question 5.

If a matrix is of order 2 × 3, then the number of elements in the matrix is
A. 5

B. 6

C. 2

D. 3

Answer:

Given that a matrix with order 2x3

We know that the no. of elements in the matrix is equal to the product of no. of rows and no. of columns

i.e., No. of elements = No. of rows × No. of columns

∴ No. of elements = 2 x 3

= 6

∴ There will be 6 elements in the given matrix

So, option (B) is the correct answer.

Question 6.

If  then the value of x is
A. 1

B. 2

C. 

D. 4

Answer:

Given,

Since both the matrix is equal to each other, the elements in it also be equal.

B. 4 × 4

C. 4 × 3

D. not defined

Answer:

Given matrix orders

[A] with 3 x 4 and [B] with 4 x 3

We have to find the order of [B].[A]

For matrix multiplication the columns of 1^st matrix and the rows of 2^nd matrix should be equal.

E.g. [A]_3x2.[B]_2x2

The order of new matrix formed after multiplication of matrices will be 1^st matrix row will be taken as new matrix rows. The no. of columns in 2^nd matrix will be taken as new matrix columns.

E.g. [A]_3x2.[B]_2x2 = [AB]_3x2

In the same way [B]_4x3.[A]_3x4 = [AB]_4x4

∴ option (B) is correct answer

Question 8.

If , then the order of A is
A. 2 × 1

B. 2 × 2

C. 1 × 2

D. 3 × 2

Answer:

Given,

A x 

Let us consider as matrix B, it has an order of 2x2

Let us consider the resultant matrix as C, it has an order of 1x2

For matrix multiplication the columns of 1^st matrix and the rows of 2^nd matrix should be equal.

So, matrix A has got same Columns as Rows of matrix B

The order of new matrix formed after multiplication of matrices will be 1^st matrix row will be taken as new matrix rows. The no. of columns in 2^nd matrix will be taken as new matrix columns

So, matrix A has got same Rows as Rows of matrix C

So, Matrix A will consists of 1x2 order

∴ option (C) is correct answer

Question 9.

If A and B are square matrices such that AB = I and BA = I, then B is
A. Unit matrix

B. Null matrix

C. Multiplicative inverse matrix of A

D. –A

Answer:

It is based on a property about multiplication inverse. Only product of a matrix and its own inverse matrix then the resultant matrix will be identity matrix.

AB = I and BA = I

So, B is the multiplicative inverse matrix of A

∴ option (C) is correct answer.

Question 13.

A is of order m x n and B is of order p x q, addition of A and B is possible only if
A. m = p

B. n = q

C. n = p

D. m = p, n = q

Answer:

Given matrix of A is m x n ⇒ [A]_mxn

Matrix of B is p x q ⇒ [B]_pxq

We know that addition is possible is possible only the order is same for both the matrices

So, m = p, n = q

So, option (D) is true

Question 14.
