CBSE Test Paper 03 Chapter 3 Matrices

1. The document contains solutions to problems involving matrices. 2. For problem 1, it is explained that a matrix can only be both symmetric and skew-symmetric if it is a null matrix, with all entries equal to 0. 3. For problem 3, the solution provided is that if A + 2At, then the expression equals At. 4. Additional problems cover topics such as the order of a matrix, conditions for a system of linear equations to have a unique solution, properties of symmetric and skew-symmetric matrices, and performing operations like finding inverses.

Solution

1. b. null matrix
Explanation: Only a null matrix can be symmetric as well as skew symmetric.

In Symmetric Matrix AT = A,

Skew Symmetric Matrix AT = -A,


Given that the matrix is satisfying both the properties.Therefore, Equating the
RHS we get A = -A i.e 2A = 0.
Therefore A=0,which is a null matrix.

2. d.
Explanation: The given system of equation has a unique solution if :

3. b. At
Explanation: A + 2A' =

=A'

4. b.

Explanation: = . ( where ; matrix

A denotes the product of three given matrices.)

5. a. ad – bc = 0
Explanation: The given system of equations has a non – trivial solution if :

6. symmetric
7. k(A' - B')

8. skew-symmetric matrix

9. According to the question, A = [1 2 3]

[interchange the elements of rows and columns]

Now,

= [1 + 4 + 9] = [14]

10. Only B + D is defined since matrices of the same order can only be added.

11. A matrix in which the no. of rows is equal to no. of columns i.e. m = n.

12. Let and

....(i)

And .....(ii)

Thus, we see that AB = AC [using Eqs. (i) and (ii)]


Where, A is non-zero matrix but

15. We shall prove the result by the principle of mathematical induction.

We have P(n) : If , then

P(1) : , so

Therefore, the result is true for n = 1.


Let the result be true for n = k. So

P(k) : , then

Now, we prove that the rsult holds for n = k +1

Now,

Therefore, the result is true for n = k + 1. Thus by principle of mathematical induction.

We have , holds for all natural numbers.

16. Let
