Which one of the following is a linear transformation?
  • a)
    T : R2 ---> R2 defined by T(x, y) = (xy, x)
  • b)
    T : R2 ---> R3 defined by T(x, y) = (x + 3, 2y, x+y)
  • c)
    T : R3 ---> R2 defined by T(x, y, z) = (Ix| , y + z)
  • d)
    None of these
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Veda Institute answered
Let (1,2) and (3,4) be two vectors of R2.
Then T[(1, 2) + (3,4)] = T(4, 6)]
= (4 x 6, 4) = (24, 6)
and T(l, 2) = (1 x 2,1) = (2, 1)
T(3, 4) = (3 x 4,.3) = (12, 3) Thus,T(l, 2) +  T(3, 4) = (2, 1) + (12, 3) = (14, 4)
Therefore, T[(1, 2) + (3 ,4)] ≠ T(1 ,2) + T(3,4)
Hence, T is non linear.
To show that a given map T is a linear transformation we must show that
 T(αx + βy) = αT(x) + βT(y)
where x,y are vectors and a, P are scalars while to show that the given map is non-linear conveniently we try to find a related contrast example.

If r > p > q, the number of different selections of p + q things taking r at a time, where p things are identical and q other things are identical, is
  • a)
    p + q - r
  • b)
    q + q - r + 1
  • c)
    r - p - q + 1
  • d)
    non of these
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Veda Institute answered
 The number of selections of p things from p identical things and r - p things from q identical things = 1 x 1

Similarly in all other cases, 
∴ the total number of ways
= p - (r - q )+ 1 or q - (r - p) + 1
= p + q - r + l

Number of homomorphism from ℤ8 ⊕ ℤ2, onto ℤ4 ⊕ ℤ4, (Answer Should be integer) _______.
Correct answer is '0'. Can you explain this answer?

Kabir Shah answered
Explanation:

Homomorphism:
Homomorphism is a structure-preserving map between two algebraic structures of the same type. In this case, we are looking for homomorphisms between two direct sum groups.

Direct Sum:
The direct sum of two groups A and B, denoted as A ⊕ B, is the set of all pairs (a, b) where a belongs to group A and b belongs to

Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Madhav Mehra answered  •  Mar 14, 2024


Solution:

Given:
- Total number of bulbs in Bag A = 10
- Number of defective bulbs = 3
- Number of non-defective bulbs = 10 - 3 = 7

Calculation:
Step 1: Calculate the probability of drawing a non-defective bulb on the first draw
- Probability of drawing a non-defective bulb on the first draw = Number of non-defe

Number of Proper Subsets of a Finite Set with n Elements

To find the number of proper subsets of a given finite set with n elements, we need to understand the concept of subsets and proper subsets.

Subsets:
A subset of a set is a collection of elements that are all contained within the original set. For example, if we have a set A = {1, 2, 3}, then the subsets of A are:<

If, A = {1,2,3,4} and
R = {(1, 1), (1, 3), (2, 2), (3, 1) (3, 4), (4, 3) (4, 4) is a relation on A x A, then which one of the following is correct?
  • a)
    R is reflexive
  • b)
    R is symmetric and transitive
  • c)
    R is reflexive and symmetric
  • d)
    R is neither reflexive nor transitive
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Madhav Mehra answered  •  Aug 26, 2023
R is transitive, but not reflexive.

Explanation:

Reflexive property:
A relation R on a set A is said to be reflexive if every element of A is related to itself. In other words, for every element a in A, (a, a) must be in R.

In the given relation R = {(1, 1), (1, 3), (2, 2), (3, 1) (3, 4), (4, 3) (4, 4)}, we can see that (2, 2) is missing.

Madhav Mehra answered  •  Aug 26, 2023
The empty set is a set that does not contain any elements. In other words, it is a set with no members.

To determine which of the given options represents the empty set, we need to analyze the conditions specified in each option and check if there are any real numbers that satisfy those conditions.

Option a: {x : x is a real number and x^2 - 1 = 0}
- This option repres

    4
  • d)

Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Madhav Mehra answered  •  Aug 26, 2023
To fully define the linear transformation T : R10, we need to specify its action on each element of R10. In other words, for every vector x = (x1, x2, ..., x10) in R10, we need to determine the corresponding image vector T(x) under the transformation T.

One possible way to define T is by specifying its action on the standard basis vectors of R10. The standard basis vectors of R10 are gi
