Detailed Solution for Test: Linear Algebra- 2 - Question 7

R2->R2 - R1
R3 -> R3 - R2
you will gt det = (a-b)*(a-c)*(b+c)
in matrix operations, you cannot multiply rows or columns. That will not yield the same matrix. So abc is not correct

Test: Linear Algebra- 2 - Question 8

Let A be a matrix such that Ak = 0. What is the inverse of I - A?

Detailed Solution for Test: Linear Algebra- 2 - Question 8

Given AK = 0
I  -  Ak = I
I  -  Ak  = (I - A) (I + A + A2 + A3  +.........+Ak-1)
I  = (I - A) (I + A + A2 + A3  +.........+Ak-1)
(I - A)-1 =  (I + A + A2 + A3  +.........+Ak-1)
Hence (D) is the Answer.

(A) : Correct. We are given


Since  so we have a non-zero solution  to homogeneous equation  Now any vector  is also a solution of and so we have infinitely many solutions of and so determinant of F is zero.
(B) : Correct. Consider a vector


So there are infinitely many vectors of the form   which are solutions to equation Fx = b.
(C) : Correct. In option (a), we proved that vector
(D) : False. This is not necessary.

Test: Linear Algebra- 2 - Question 10

Perform the following operations on the matrix 

i. Add the third row to the second row
ii. Subtract the third column from the first column.
The determinant of the resultant matrix is _____.


Detailed Solution for Test: Linear Algebra- 2 - Question 10

Answer :- 0, because it is easy to see that first column and third column are multiple of each other.
Third column = First column * 15.
So rank is  < 3, so Determinant must be 0.
It stays zero as row & column transformations don't affect determinant.

*Answer can only contain numeric values

Test: Linear Algebra- 2 - Question 14

How many 4 x 4 matrices with entries from  have odd determinant?
Hint: Use modulo  arithmetic.

Detailed Solution for Test: Linear Algebra- 2 - Question 14

whenever 1st row is 0 then its determent is 0 , and similarly if any 2 or more rows are linearly dependent then its |det|=0 In order to find the odd determinant the
1st row must be non zero --> totally(2^4-1) possibilities |0/1  0/1  0/1 0/1| like totally=16-1
2nd row must be non zero and not linearly depends on 1st row so--> totally (2^4-2) possibilities
for 3rd row it must be non-zero as well as not linearly depends on first 2 rows(not start with 0) --->totally (2^4-4)
for 4th row -->(2^4-8) :: total possibilities=(2^4-2^0) * (2^4-2^1) * (2^4-2^2) *(2^4-2^3)=15*14*12*8=20160 possible

Detailed Solution for Test: Linear Algebra- 2 - Question 17

Given, X2 - X + I  = O
=>   X2 = X - I
=> X-1 (X2)  = X-1(X - I)    {Multiplying X-1 both sides..}
=> X = I - X-1 
 => X-1 = I - X   

Which gives Option (B)..

Test: Linear Algebra- 2 - Question 24

In an M × N  matrix all non-zero entries are covered in  rows and  columns. Then the maximum number of non-zero entries, such that no two are on the same row or column, is

Detailed Solution for Test: Linear Algebra- 2 - Question 24

maximum number of non-zero entries, such that no two are on the same row or column

Any entry will be a member of some row and some column. So, with  rows we can have maximum  elements such that no row has a repeated element. Same is applicable for b columns also. So, combining both, answer should be .
We can also apply pigeonhole principle here. Let
P = min(a.b) be the number of holes. So, we can place up to
P non-zero entries (pigeons) and as soon as
(P + 1)th entry comes it must be making two entries in some column or row.

Test: Linear Algebra- 2 - Question 26

If M is a square matrix with a zero determinant, which of the following assertion (s) is (are) correct?
S1: Each row of M can be represented as a linear combination of the other rows
S2: Each column of M can be represented as a linear combination of the other columns
S3: MX = 0 has a nontrivial solution
S4: M has an inverse

Detailed Solution for Test: Linear Algebra- 2 - Question 26

Since M has zero determinant, its rank is not full i.e. if M is of size 3*3, then its rank is not 3. So there is a linear combination of rows which evaluates to 0 i.e.


and there is a linear combination of columns which evaluates to 0 i.e.


Now any row Ri can be written as linear combination of other rows as :
 
Similar is the case for columns.
Now MX = 0 always has one solution : X = 0 (which is called trivial solution). Now if |M| = 0, then MX = 0 has non-trivial solutions also.
So (S1), (S2), and (S3) are true. So option D is correct.

Test: Linear Algebra- 2 - Question 27

Consider the following system of linear equations

Notice that the second and the third columns of the coefficient matrix are linearly dependent. For how many values of , does this system of equations have infinitely many solutions?

Detailed Solution for Test: Linear Algebra- 2 - Question 27

Determinant=0. Therefore apply reduction method on (A|B)

 obtain the resultant matrix

or infinitely many solutions, we must have 2+1.5a=0 i.e., a=-4/3 so for only 1 value of a, this system has infinitely many solutions. So option (B) is correct.

Test: Linear Algebra- 2 - Question 30

Consider the following set of equations x + 2y = 54 x+8y = 123x + 6y+3z = 15. This set

Detailed Solution for Test: Linear Algebra- 2 - Question 30

There are no solutions.
If we multiply 1st equation by 4, we get
4x + 8y = 20
But 2nd equation says
4x + 8y = 12
Clearly, there can not be any pair of (x,y), which satisfies both equations.
