Test: Matrices & Determinants - 1 - Question 1

If a matrix A is such that 3 A3 + 2 A2 + 5 A + I = 0, then A-1 is equal to

Detailed Solution for Test: Matrices & Determinants - 1 - Question 1

3A+ 2A+ 5A + I = 0
3A+ 2A+ 5A + AA−1 = 0
A−1 =- (3 A2 + 2 A + 5I)

Test: Matrices & Determinants - 1 - Question 3

If every minor of order r of a matrix A is zero, then rank of A is

Detailed Solution for Test: Matrices & Determinants - 1 - Question 3
Since all minors of order r are zero, there is no invertible r x r submatrix in A. This implies that the rank of A cannot be r or higher. Therefore, the rank must be less than r, making option D correct.
Test: Matrices & Determinants - 1 - Question 4

If the eigen values of a square matrix be 1, - 2 and 3, then the eigen values of the matrix 3A are

Detailed Solution for Test: Matrices & Determinants - 1 - Question 4
If a matrix A has eigenvalues λ1, λ2, ..., λn, then the eigenvalues of the matrix cA (where c is a scalar) are cλ1, cλ2, ..., cλn. Here, multiplying each eigenvalue by 3 gives the new eigenvalues as 3 × 1 = 3, 3 × (-2) = -6, and 3 × 3 = 9. Thus, the eigenvalues of 3A are 3, -6, and 9.

Test: Matrices & Determinants - 1 - Question 10

If A is 3 × 4 matrix and B is a matrix such that A'B and BA' are both defined, then the order of B is

Detailed Solution for Test: Matrices & Determinants - 1 - Question 10
To determine the order of matrix B, we analyze the given conditions. 1. For A'B to be defined: - Matrix A' (transpose of A) is of size 4 x 3. - Let matrix B be of size m x n. - The number of columns in A' (which is 3) must equal the number of rows in B. Hence, m = 3. 2. For BA' to be defined: - Matrix B has dimensions 3 x n. - The number of columns in B (which is n) must equal the number of rows in A' (which is 4). Hence, n = 4. Thus, matrix B must be of size 3 x 4, making option A correct.

Test: Matrices & Determinants - 1 - Question 18

Study the following assertions about a square matrix
(i) The sum of the eigen values of A is equal to its trace
(ii) The product of the eigen values of A is equal to its determinant
(iii) All eigen values of A are non-zero, if and only if A is non-singular
(iv) If A-1 exists, then the eigen-values of A-1 are equal to the reciprocal of the eigen

Q. Which of the following is correct with respect to above assertions?

Detailed Solution for Test: Matrices & Determinants - 1 - Question 18
[Assertion (i): The sum of eigenvalues equals the trace, which is correct as both are sums of diagonal elements in their respective forms. Assertion (ii): Product of eigenvalues equals determinant, accurate since determinant is the product of eigenvalues. Assertion (iii): Non-zero eigenvalues imply matrix invertibility and vice versa, confirming a non-singular matrix if all eigenvalues are non-zero. Assertion (iv): Invertible matrices have reciprocal eigenvalues for their inverses, as each eigenvalue's reciprocal corresponds to the inverse's eigenvalue. Thus, all assertions hold true.]
