Test: Matrix - Question 3

The rank of the matrix  is 

Detailed Solution for Test: Matrix - Question 3

Test: Matrix - Question 4

The eigen values of a skew-symmetric matrix are

Detailed Solution for Test: Matrix - Question 4

ANSWER :- c

Solution :- Let  A  be real skew symmetric and suppose  λ∈C  is an eigenvalue, with (complex) eigenvector  v . Then, denoting by  H  hermitian transposition,

 

λvHv=vH(λv)=vH(Av)=vH(−AHv)=−(vHAH)v=−(Av)Hv=−(λv)Hv=−λ¯vHv 

 

Since  vHv≠0 , as  v≠0 , we get

 

λ=−λ¯ 

 

so  λ  is purely imaginary (which includes 0). Note that the proof works the same for a antihermitian (complex) matrix.

 

With a completely similar technique you can prove that the eigenvalues of a Hermitian matrix (which includes real symmetric) are real.

Test: Matrix - Question 5

Rank of the matrix given below is: 

Detailed Solution for Test: Matrix - Question 5

Test: Matrix - Question 6

The rank of a 3 x 3 matrix C (=AB), found by multiplying a non-zero column matrix A of size 3 x 1 and a non-zero row matrix B of size 1 x 3, is
 

Detailed Solution for Test: Matrix - Question 6


Then also every minor or order 2 is also zero.
∴ rank (C) = 1

Test: Matrix - Question 7

A is a 3 x 4 real matrix and A x = b is an inconsistent system of equations. The highest possible rank of A is

Detailed Solution for Test: Matrix - Question 7

Highest possible rank of A= 2 ,as   Ax = b is an inconsistent system.

Test: Matrix - Question 8

Match the items in columns I and II.  

Detailed Solution for Test: Matrix - Question 8

(P) Singular matrix → Determinant is zero
(Q) Non-square matrix → Determinant is not defined 
(R) Real symmetric → Eigen values are always real  
(S) Ortho gonal → Det erminant is always one 

Test: Matrix - Question 9


[A] is a square matrix which is neither symmetric nor skew-symmetric and [A]T is its transpose. The sum and difference of these matrices are defined as [S] = [A] + [A]T and [D] = [A] -[A]T, respectively. Which of the following statements is True?

Test: Matrix - Question 10

Given matrix [A] =  the rank of the matrix is

Detailed Solution for Test: Matrix - Question 10


∴ Rank (A) = 2

Test: Matrix - Question 11
