2. If a matrix has 24 elements, what are the possible orders it can have? What, if it has 13 elements?

Solution:

Given:

The number of elements = 24

Step 1:

Therefore, the possible orders are as follows:

1 × 24, 2 × 12, 3 × 8, 4 × 6, 6 × 4,8 × 3, 12 × 2 and 24 × 1

Step 2:

Now, if it has 13 elements,

then the possible orders are 13 × 1 and 1 × 13

3. If a matrix has 18 elements, what are the possible orders it can have? What, if it has 5 elements?

Solution:

Given:

Total number of elements in matrix = 18

Step 1:

Therefore, the possible orders are as follows:

1 × 18, 2 × 9, 3 × 6, 6 × 3, 9 × 2 and 18 × 1

and (𝐵—𝐶). Also, verify that 𝐴 + (𝐵 − 𝐶) = (𝐴 + 𝐵) − 𝐶. [3 marks]

Solution:

Given:

𝐴 = [1 2 −35 0 21 −1 1

], 𝐵 = [3 −1 24 2 52 0 3

] and 𝐶 = [4 1 20 3 21 −2 3

]

Step 1:

So, 𝐴 + 𝐵 = [1 2 −35 0 21 −1 1

] + [3 −1 24 2 52 0 3

]

= [1 + 3 2 − 1 −3 + 25 + 4 0 + 2 2 + 51 + 2 −1 + 0 1 + 3

]

∴ 𝐴 + 𝐵 = [4 1 −19 2 73 −1 4

Step 2:

Now, 𝐵 − 𝐶 = [3 −1 24 2 52 0 3

] − [4 1 20 3 21 −2 3

]

= [3 − 4 −1 − 1 2 − 24 − 0 2 − 3 5 − 22 − 1 0 − (−2) 3 − 3

]

∴ 𝐵 − 𝐶 = [−1 −2 04 −1 31 2 0

Step 3:

𝐿𝐻𝑆 = 𝐴 + (𝐵 − 𝐶) = [1 2 −35 0 21 −1 1

] + [−1 −2 04 −1 31 2 0

𝑅𝐻𝑆 = (𝐴 + 𝐵) − 𝐶 = [4 1 −19 2 73 −1 4

∴ 𝐿𝐻𝑆 = 𝑅𝐻𝑆

Hence, 𝐴 + (𝐵 − 𝐶) = (𝐴 + 𝐵) − 𝐶 = [0 0 −39 −1 52 1 1

Step 2:





2 + 𝑦 = 5 and 2𝑥 + 2 = 8

Step 2:



2𝑥 − 𝑦 = 10

3𝑥 + 𝑦 = 5

Step 3:

Adding both the equations, we get

5𝑥 = 15

⇒ 𝑥 = 3

Putting the value of 𝑥 in the equation 3𝑥 + 𝑦 = 5, we get

3(3) + 𝑦 = 5

⇒ 𝑦 = −4

Therefore, the values x and y are 3 and -4 respectively.

19. A trust fund has ₹ 30,000 that must be invested in two different types of bonds. The first bond pays 5% interest per year, and the second bond pays 7% interest per year. Using matrix multiplication, determine how to divide ₹ 30,000 among the two types of bonds. If the trust fund must obtain an annual total interest of: [5 Marks]

(a) ₹1800

(b) ₹2000

Solution:

Given:

Trust fund= ₹ 30,000

First bond pays interest = 5% per year

Second bond pays interest = 7% per year

Step 1:

Let the amount invested in first bond = ₹ 𝑥

The amount invested in second bond = ₹(30000 − 𝑥)

(𝑎) If the total annual interest is ₹1800, then

Investment in Bonds (in ₹) Annual Interest Rate Interest (in ≤]

[𝑥

30,000 − 𝑥] [5%7%

] [1800]

Step 2:

By solving, we get

𝑥 × 5% + (30000 − 𝑥) × 7%=1800

⇒5𝑥

100+

7

100(30000 − 𝑥) = 1800

⇒ 5𝑥 + 210000 − 7𝑥 = 180000

⇒ −2𝑥 = −30000

𝑥 = 15000

Step 3:

So, amount investment at 5% = ₹15000

The amount investment at 7% = ₹(30000 − 𝑥)

= ₹(30000 − 15000) = ₹15000



Therefore, the amount invested in first bond is ₹15000 and second bond is ₹15000 [𝟏

Step 4:

(b) If the total annual interest is ₹2000, then

Investment in Bonds (in ₹] Annual Interest Rate Interest (in₹)

[𝑥

30,000 − 𝑥] [5%7%

] [2000]

Step 5:

By solving, we get

𝑥 × 5% + (30000 − 𝑥) × 7% = 2000

⇒5𝑥

100+

7

100(30000 − 𝑥) = 2000

⇒ 5𝑥 + 210000 − 7𝑥 = 200000

⇒ −2𝑥 = −10000

⇒ 𝑥 = 5000

Step 6:

So, amount investment at 5% = ₹5000

The amount investment at 7% = ₹(30000 − 𝑥)

= ₹(30000 − 5000) = ₹25000

Therefore, the amount invested in first bond is ₹ 5000 and second bond is ₹25000. [𝟏

Solution:

Given:

Step 1:

Number of chemistry books = 10 dozen = 10 × 12 = 120

Number of physics books = 8 dozen = 8 × 12 = 96

Hence, the bookshop will receive ₹20160 from selling all the books.



21. Assume X, Y, Z, W and P are matrices of order 2 × n, 3 × k, 2 × p, n × 3 and p × k,

respectively.

The restriction on 𝑛, 𝑘 and 𝑝 so that 𝑃𝑌 + 𝑊𝑌 will be defined are: [2 Marks]

(A) 𝑘 = 3, 𝑝 = 𝑛

(B) 𝑘 is arbitrary, 𝑝 = 2

(C) 𝑝 is arbitrary, 𝑘 = 3

(D) 𝑘 = 2, 𝑝 = 3

Solution:

Given:

The order of 𝑃 = 𝑝 × 𝑘

The order of 𝑌 = 3 × 𝑘.

Step 1:

So, 𝑃𝑌 will be defined if, 𝑘 = 3.

Hence, the order of 𝑃𝑌 is 𝑝 × 𝑘.

Step 2:

Order of 𝑊 = 𝑛 × 3 and order of 𝑌 = 3 × 𝑘

According to order, WY is defined and its order is 𝑛 × 𝑘.

𝑃𝑌 + 𝑊𝑌 is defined, if the order of PY and WY are equal.

⇒ 𝑝 × 𝑘 = 𝑛 × 𝑘

⇒ 𝑝 = 𝑛,

Therefore, the option (A) is correct.

22. Assume X, Y, Z, W and P are matrices of order 2 × n, 3 × k, 2 × p, n × 3 and p × k,

If 𝑛 = 𝑝, then the order of the matrix 7𝑋 − 5𝑍 is: [2 marks]

(A) 𝑝 × 2



(B) 2 × 𝑛

(C) 𝑛 × 3

(D) 𝑝 × 𝑛

Solution:

Given:

The order of 𝑋 = 2 × 𝑛

The order of 𝑍 = 2 × 𝑝

𝑛 = 𝑝

Step 1:

During the addition or subtraction, the order of matrix doesn’t change.

Therefore, the order of 7𝑋 − 5𝑍 = order of 𝑋 = order of 𝑍

Step 2:

⇒ 2 × 𝑛 = 2 × 𝑝

= 2 × 𝑛

Hence, the option (𝐵) is correct

18. Matrices 𝐴 and 𝐵 will be inverse of each other only if [2 Marks]

(A) 𝐴𝐵 = 𝐵𝐴

(B) 𝐴𝐵 = 𝐵𝐴 = 0

(C) 𝐴𝐵 = 0, 𝐵𝐴 = 𝐼



(D) 𝐴𝐵 = 𝐵𝐴 = 𝐼

Solution:

Given:

A and B will be inverse of each other.

𝐴−1 = 𝐵 and 𝐵−1 = 𝐴

Step 1:

We know that,

𝐴𝐴−1 = 𝐼 [∵ A−1 = B]

𝐴𝐵 = 𝐼

Step 2:

𝐵𝐵−1 = 𝐼 [∵ B−1 = A]

𝐵𝐴 = 𝐼

So, 𝐴𝐵 = 𝐵𝐴 = 𝐼.

Hence, option (D) is correct.

Miscellaneous Exercise on Chapter 3

1. Let 𝐴 = [0 10 0

], show that (𝑎𝐼 + 𝑏𝐴)𝑛 = 𝑎𝑛𝐼 + 𝑛𝑎𝑛−1𝑏𝐴, where 𝐼 is the identity matrix

of order 2 and 𝑛 ∈ 𝑁. [5 marks]

Solution:

Given: 𝐴 = [0 10 0

]

To Prove:

(𝑎𝐼 + 𝑏𝐴)𝑛 = 𝑎𝑛𝐼 + 𝑛𝑎𝑛−1𝑏𝐴

Proof: The proof is by mathematical induction [𝟏

𝟐 Mark]

Step 1:

Consider, 𝑃(𝑛): (𝑎𝑙 + 𝑏𝐴)𝑛 = 𝑎𝑛𝐼 + 𝑛𝑎𝑛−1𝑏𝐴 [𝟏

𝟐 Mark]



Step 2:

∴ P(1): (𝑎𝐼 + 𝑏𝐴)1 = 𝑎𝐼 + 𝑏𝐴

Hence, the result is true for 𝑛 = 1. [𝟏

𝟐 Mark]

Step 3:

Let the result be true for 𝑛 = 𝑘,

So, 𝑃(𝑘): (𝑎𝑙 + 𝑏𝐴)𝑘 = 𝑎𝑘𝐼 + 𝑛𝑎𝑘−1𝑏𝐴 [𝟏

𝟐 Mark]

Step 4:

We must prove that it is true for 𝑛 = 𝑘 + 1 also.

(i.e.) 𝑃(𝑘 + 1): (𝑎𝑙 + 𝑏𝐴)𝑘+1 = 𝑎𝑘+1𝐼 + (𝑘 + 1)𝑎𝑘𝑏𝐴 [𝟏

𝟐 Mark]

Step 5:

By taking LHS, we get

LHS= (𝑎𝐼 + 𝑏𝐴)𝑘+1

= (𝑎𝐼 + 𝑏𝐴)𝑘(𝑎𝐼 + 𝑏𝐴) [𝟏

𝟐 Mark]

Step 6:

= (𝑎𝑘𝐼 + 𝑛𝑎𝑘−1𝑏𝐴)(𝑎𝐼 + 𝑏𝐴) [∵ (𝑎𝐼 + 𝑏𝐴)𝑘+1 = 𝑎𝑘𝐼 + 𝑛𝑎𝑘−1𝑏𝐴]

[𝟏

𝟐 Mark]

Step 7:

= 𝑎𝑘+1𝐼2 + 𝑎𝑘𝐼𝑏𝐴 + 𝑛𝑎𝑘𝐼𝑏𝐴 + 𝑛𝑎𝑘−1𝑏2𝐴2 [𝟏

𝟐 Mark]

Step 8:

= 𝑎𝑘+1𝐼 + (𝑘 + 1)𝑎𝑘𝑏𝐴 [∵ 𝐴2 = 𝐴 ⋅ 𝐴 = [0 10 0

] [0 10 0

] = [0 00 0

] = 0]


Therefore, the result is true for 𝑛 = 𝑘 + 1.

Hence, by the Principle of Mathematical Induction, (𝑎𝐼 + 𝑏𝐴)𝑛 = 𝑎𝑛𝐼 + 𝑛𝑎𝑛−1𝑏𝐴 is true for all-natural numbers 𝑛.

(a) If unit sale prices of 𝑥, 𝑦 and 𝑧 are ₹ 2.50, ₹ 1.50 and ₹ 1.00, respectively, find the total revenue in each market with the help of matrix algebra. [3 Marks]

(b) If the unit costs of the above three commodities are ₹ 2.00, ₹ 1.00 and 50 paise respectively. Find the gross profit. [3 Marks]

Solution:

(a) Step 1:

If unit sale prices of 𝑥, 𝑦 and 𝑧 are ₹2.50, ₹1.50 and ₹1.00, then

Products Selling price

Market I

Market II

𝑥 𝑦 𝑧

[10000 2000 180006000 20000 8000

[₹2.50₹1.50₹1.00

Step 2:



Total revenue of each market = Total product × Unit selling price

= [10000 2000 180006000 20000 8000

] [₹2.50₹1.50₹1.00

]

Step 3:

= [₹25000 + ₹3000 + ₹18000₹15000 + ₹30000 + ₹8000

] = [₹46000₹53000

]

Thus, the revenue of market I is ₹46,000 and that of the market II is ₹53,000.

(b) Step 1:

If the unit costs of the three commodities are ₹2.00, ₹1.00 and 50 paise, then

Products Selling price

Market I

Market II

𝑥 𝑦 𝑧

[10000 2000 180006000 20000 8000

Step 2:

Gross profit from each market = Total product × Unit selling price

= [10000 2000 180006000 20000 8000

] [₹2.50₹1.50₹1.00

]

= [₹20000 + ₹2000 + ₹9000₹12000 + ₹20000 + ₹4000

] = [₹31000₹36000

]

Step 3:

Hence, the total revenue from market I is ₹46,000 and that of the market II is ₹31,000.

Therefore, the gross profit of market I=Revenue – Cost

= ₹46000 − ₹31000 = ₹15000

Therefore, the gross profit of market II = ₹53000 − ₹36000 = ₹17000



Hence, the total gross profit from market I is ₹15,000 and that of the market II is ₹17,000.

12. 𝐴 and 𝐵 are square matrices of the same order such that 𝐴𝐵 = 𝐵𝐴, then prove by induction that 𝐴𝐵𝑛 = 𝐵𝑛𝐴. Further, prove that (𝐴𝐵)𝑛 = 𝐴𝑛𝐵𝑛 for all 𝑛 ∈ 𝑁. Choose the correct answer in the following questions: [5 marks]

Solution:

Given:

𝐴𝐵 = 𝐵𝐴

To prove:

𝐴𝐵𝑛 = 𝐵𝑛𝐴 and

(𝐴𝐵)𝑛 = 𝐴𝑛𝐵𝑛 for all 𝑛 ∈ 𝑁

Proof: The proof is by mathematical induction.

Step 1:

Consider, 𝑃(𝑛): 𝐴𝐵𝑛 = 𝐵𝑛𝐴, [𝟏

𝟐 Mark]

Step 2:

Therefore, 𝑃(1): 𝐴𝐵 = 𝐵𝐴

Hence the result is true for 𝑛 = 1. [𝟏

𝟐 Mark]

Step 3:

Let it be true for 𝑛 = 𝑘,

so, 𝑃(𝑘): 𝐴𝐵𝑘 = 𝐵𝑘𝐴 [𝟏

𝟐 Mark]

Step 4:

Now we have to prove that it is true for 𝑛 = 𝑘 + 1 also.

(i.e.) 𝑃(𝑘 + 1): 𝐴𝐵𝑘+1 = Bk+1𝐴 [𝟏

𝟐 Mark]

Step 5:




LHS= 𝐴𝐵𝑘+1

= 𝐴𝐵𝑘𝐵

= 𝐵𝑘𝐴𝐵 [∵ 𝐴𝐵𝑘 = 𝐵𝑘𝐴]

= 𝐵𝑘𝐵𝐴 [∵ 𝐴𝐵 = 𝐵𝐴]

= 𝐵𝑘+1𝐴 =RHS

Hence, the result is true for 𝑛 = 𝑘 + 1, [𝟏

𝟐 Mark]

Therefore, by the Principle of Mathematical Induction 𝐴𝐵𝑛 = 𝐵𝑛𝐴 is true for all natural numbers 𝑛.

Step 6:

If (𝐴𝐵)𝑛 = 𝐴𝑛𝐵𝑛

Now,

Consider 𝑃(𝑛): (𝐴𝐵)n = 𝐴𝑛𝐵𝑛 therefore, 𝑃(1): (𝐴𝐵)1 = 𝐴1𝐵1

Hence the result is true for 𝑛 = 1. [𝟏

𝟐 Mark]

Step 7:

Let it is true for 𝑛 = 𝑘,

so, 𝑃(𝑘): (𝐴𝐵)𝑘 = 𝐴𝑘𝐵𝑘 [𝟏

𝟐 Mark]

Step 8:

Now we have to prove that it is true for 𝑛 = 𝑘 + 1 also.

(i.e.) 𝑃(𝑘 + 1): (𝐴𝐵)𝑘+1 = 𝐴𝑘+1𝐵𝑘+1 [𝟏

𝟐 Mark]

Step 9:


LHS = (𝐴𝐵)𝑘+1

= (𝐴𝐵)k𝐴𝐵

= 𝐴𝑘𝐵𝑘𝐴𝐵 [∵ (𝐴𝐵)k = 𝐴𝑘𝐵𝑘] [𝟏

𝟐 Mark]

Step 10:

= 𝐴𝑘𝐴𝐵𝑘𝐵 [∵ 𝐴𝐵 = 𝐵𝐴]

= 𝐴𝑘+1𝐵𝑘+1 =RHS

Hence, the result is true for 𝑛 = 𝑘 + 1.



Therefore, by the Principle of Mathematical Induction (𝐴𝐵)𝑛 = 𝐴𝑛𝐵𝑛 is true for all

natural numbers 𝑛. [𝟏

13. If 𝐴 = [𝛼 𝛽𝛾 −𝛼

] is such that 𝐴2 = 𝐼, then [2 Marks]

(A) 1 + 𝛼2 + 𝛽𝛾 = 0

(B) 1 − 𝛼2 + 𝛽𝛾 = 0

(C) 1 − 𝛼2 − 𝛽𝛾 = 0

(D) 1 + 𝛼2 − 𝛽𝛾 = 0

Solution:

Given that: 𝐴2 = 𝐼

Step 1:

⇒ [𝛼 𝛽𝛾 −𝛼

] [𝛼 𝛽𝛾 −𝛼

] = [1 00 1

]

⇒ [𝛼2 + 𝛽𝛾 𝛼𝛽 − 𝛽𝛼

𝛼𝛾 − 𝛼𝛾 𝛽𝛾 + 𝛼2 ] = [1 00 1

]

Step 2:



𝛼2 + 𝛽𝛾 = 1

1 − 𝛼2 − 𝛽𝛾 = 0

Hence the option (C) is correct.

14. If the matrix 𝐴 is both symmetric and skew symmetric, then [2 Marks]

(A) 𝐴 is a diagonal matrix



(B) 𝐴 is a zero matrix

(C) 𝐴 is a square matrix

(D) None of these

Solution:

Given:

Matrix 𝐴 is both symmetric and skew symmetric

Step 1:

We know that only a zero matrix is always both symmetric and skew symmetric.

Proof:

∴ 𝐴′ = 𝐴 and 𝐴′ = −𝐴

Step 2:

On comparing both the equations, we get

⇒ 𝐴 = −𝐴

𝐴 + 𝐴 = 𝑂

2𝐴 = 𝑂

𝐴 = 𝑂

Hence, the option (B) is correct.

(A) 𝐴

(B) 𝐼 − 𝐴

(C) 𝐼

Solution:

Given:



𝐴2 = 𝐴

Step 1:

(𝐼 + 𝐴)3 − 7𝐴

= 𝐼3 + 𝐴3 + 3𝐼2𝐴 + 3𝐼𝐴2 − 7𝐴 [𝟏

𝟐 Mark]

Step 2:

= −𝐼 + 𝐴2𝐴 + 31𝐴 + 31𝐴2 − 7𝐴 [∵ 𝐼3 = 𝐼2 = 𝐼] [𝟏

𝟐 Mark]

Step 3:

= 𝐼 + 𝐴𝐴 + 3𝐴 + 3𝐼𝐴 − 7𝐴 [∵ 𝐴2 = 𝐴] [𝟏

𝟐 Mark]

Step 4:

= 𝐼 + 𝐴 + 3𝐴 + 3𝐴 − 7𝐴

= 𝐼 + 7𝐴 − 7𝐴

= 𝐼 [∵ 𝐼𝐴 = 𝐴] [𝟏

𝟐 Mark]

Hence, the option (C) is correct
