QUESTION: 1

Let a =  , then Det. A is  

Solution:

Apply C2 → C2 + C3,



 

QUESTION: 2

Solution:

because , the value of the determinant is zero only when , the two of its rows are identical., Which is possible only when Either x = 3 or x = 4 .

QUESTION: 3

Solution:

Apply , R1 → R1+R2+R3,



Apply , C3→ C3 - C1, C2→C2 - C1,

=(a+b+c)3

QUESTION: 4

If A and B are invertible matrices of order 3 , then det (adj A) =
Solution:

Let A be a non singular square matrix of order n . then , |adj.A| = A−1
 

QUESTION: 5

If A and B matrices are of same order and A + B = B + A, this law is known as
Solution:

Commutative law, in mathematics, either of two laws relating to number operations of addition and multiplication, stated symbolically: a + b = b + a and ab = ba

QUESTION: 6

If A’ is the transpose of a square matrix A , then
Solution:

The determinant of a matrix A and its transpose always same.

QUESTION: 7

The value of the determinant  is
Solution:

, Apply , C2 → C2 + C3





= 0, (∵ C1 = C2)

QUESTION: 8

The roots of the equation det.   are
Solution:

⇒ (1-x)(2-x)(3-x) = 0 ⇒x = 1,2,3

QUESTION: 9

If A is a square matrix of order 2 , then det (adj A) = x
Solution:

Let A be a square matrix of order 2 . then ,|adj.A| = |A|

QUESTION: 10

If A is a symmetric matrix, then At =
Solution:
QUESTION: 11

Solution:

, because , row 1 and row 3 are identical.

QUESTION: 12

 is equal to 
Solution:

Apply , C1→C1 - C3, C2→C2-C3

= 10 - 12 = -2

QUESTION: 13

If A+B+C = π, then the value of   
Solution:



QUESTION: 14

If A is a non singular matrix of order 3 , then |adj(A3)| =
Solution:

If A is anon singular matrix of order , then 

QUESTION: 15

If A and B are any 2 × 2 matrices , then det. (A+B) = 0 implies
Solution:

Det.(A+B) ≠ Det.A + Det.B.

QUESTION: 16

If A B be two square matrices such that AB = O, then
Solution:

If A B be two square matrices such that AB = O, then, 

QUESTION: 17

Solution:


Apply , C1 → C1 - C2, C2 → C2 - C3,

Because here row 1 and 2 are identical

QUESTION: 18

If   , then equals
Solution:

Because , the determinant of a skew symmetric matrix of odd order is always zero and of even order is a non zero perfect square.

QUESTION: 19

If I3 is the identity matrix of order 3 , then 13−1 is
Solution:

Because , the inverse of an identity matrix is an identity matrix.

QUESTION: 20

If A and B are square matrices of same order and A’ denotes the transpose of A , then
Solution:

By the property of transpose of a matrix ,(AB)’ = B’A’.

QUESTION: 21

A square matrix A is invertible iff det A is equal to
Solution:

Only non-singular matrices possess inverse.

QUESTION: 22

Solution:



Apply, C1→ C1+ C2+C3+C4,

Apply, R1 →R1 - R2,


Apply, R1→ R1 - R2, R2 → R2 - R3

=(x+3a) (a -x)3 (1) = (x+3a)(a-x)3

QUESTION: 23

If the entries in a 3 x 3 determinant are either 0 or 1 , then the greatest value of this determinant is :
Solution:

Greatest value = 2 

QUESTION: 24

The roots of the equation  are
Solution:

Operate,



Apply R3→R3- R1, R2→ R2 -R1,

 

⇒ -6(5x2 - 20) +15(2x-4) = 0

⇒ (x- 2)(x+1) = 0⇒x=2, -1

⇒-6(5x2 - 20) + 15(2x-4) = 0

⇒(x-2)(x+1) = 0 ⇒ x=2, -1

 

QUESTION: 25

In a third order determinant, each element of the first column consists of sum of two terms, each element of the second column consists of sum of three terms and each element of the third column consists of sum of four terms. Then it can be decomposed into n determinants, where n has value
Solution:

N = 2 ×3 × 4 = 24.
