2 | |
3 |
Question 3 Explanation:
|M |= 
= 5(0-12) – 10(6-6) +10(6-0)= -60-0+60=0
But a 2×2 minor,
=0-10=-10≠0

Which is obtained by reversing the order of the columns of the identity matrix I6.
Let P= I6 + αJ6 where α is a non-negative real number.
The value of α for which det(P) = 0 is ___________.
0 | |

Question 12 Explanation:



Since, α is non-negative real number. Hence,
α = 1
Question 13 |
The determinant of matrix A is 5 and the determinant of matrix B is 40. The determinant of matrix AB is ________.
100 | |
8 | |
1000 | |
200 |
Question 13 Explanation:
Determinant of matrix AB will be
Determinant of (A) * Determinant of (B)
5*40 = 200
so answer = 200
Determinant of (A) * Determinant of (B)
5*40 = 200
so answer = 200
Question 14 |
The system of linear equations

infinitely many solutions | |
no solution | |
exactly two solutions |
Question 14 Explanation:



Clearly rank(A)=2 , rank(A/B) = 2 , number of unknowns = 3
so rank (A) = rank (A / B) =2
Since, rank (A) = rank (A / B) < number of unknowns
∴ Equations have infinitely many solutions.

Question 17 Explanation:

Question 18 |
Given that
and
, the value of A3 is


15 A + 12 I | |
19A + 30 I | |
17A + 15 I | |
17 A + 21I |
Question 18 Explanation:
Characteristic equation of A is
(-5-λ)(-λ) + 6 = 0
So,
(by Cayley Hamilton theorem)
⇒ A2 = –5A – 6I
Multiplying by A on both sides, we have,
A3 =-5A2-6A
⇒ A3 = -5(-5A-6I)-6A
= 19A + 30I


(-5-λ)(-λ) + 6 = 0

So,

(by Cayley Hamilton theorem)
⇒ A2 = –5A – 6I
Multiplying by A on both sides, we have,
A3 =-5A2-6A
⇒ A3 = -5(-5A-6I)-6A
= 19A + 30I

I cant solve the questioner! because its so hard!
First you need to try….nothing is impossible when you want fulfil your dream .. All d best
right answer of Question no. 9 is 1
no, its correct
Yes
Answer for question no 9 is option C that is 1. A inverse can be written an 1/A and A transpose is same as A ….so A*(1/A) gets cancelled and the answer is 1.
