RBSE Class 12 Maths Solutions Chapter 3 Matrices Ex 3.3
Question 1.
Find the response of each of the following matrices:
(i)
Answer:
(ii)
Answer:
(iii)
Answer:
Question 2.
If A = and B = then verify that
(i) (A + B)' = A' + B'
Answer:
(ii) (A - B)' = A' - B'
Answer:
Question 3.
If A' = and B = then verify that
(i) (A + B)' = A' + B'
Answer:
(ii) (A - B)' = A' - B'
Answer:
Question 4.
If A' = and B = , then find (A + 2B).
Answer:
Question 5.
For the matrices A and B verify that (AB)' = B'A', where
(i) A =
Answer:
(ii) A = , B = [1 5 7]
Answer:
Question 6.
(i) If A = , then verify that AA' = I.
Answer:
(ii) If A = , then verify that A'A = I.
Answer:
Question 7.
(i) Show that the matrix A = is a symmetric matrix.
Answer:
(ii) Prove that the matrix A = is a skew-symmetric matrix.
Answer:
Question 8.
For matrix A = , verify that
(i) (A + A') is a symmetric matrix
Answer:
= A + A'
∴ (A + A')' = A + A'
Thus, A + A' is a symmetric matrix.
(ii) (A - A') is a skew-symmetric matrix
Answer:
= - (A - A')
∵ (A - A')' = - (A - A')
Thus, A - A' is a skew-symmetric matrix.
Question 9.
If A = , then find (A + A') and (A - A').
Answer:
Question 10.
Express the following matrices as the sum of a symmetric and a skew-symmetric matrix.
(i)
Answer:
Let A =
We know that any square matrix can be expressed as sum of symmetric and skew-symmetric matrices.
Here, A = then (A + A') will be symmetric and (A - A') will be skew-symmetric matrix.
(iii)
Answer:
(iv)
Answer:
Choose the correct answer in the exercises 11 and 12.
Question 11.
If A, B are symmetric matrices of same order, then AB - BA is a:
(A) Skew symmetric matrix
(B) Symmetric matrix
(C) Zero matrix
(D) Identity matrix
Answer:
Matrix A and B are symmetric matrix of equal order.
∴ A' = A, B' = B
(AB - BA)' = (AB)' - (BA)'
= - (AB - BA)
= skew-symmetric matrix
= (AB - BA) skew-symmetric matrix.
Thus, (A) is correct.
Question 12.
If A = , then A + A' = I, then the value of α is:
(A)
(B)
(C) π
(D)
Answer:
Either way the teacher or student will get the solution to the problem within 24 hours.
