1. A matrix A for which AP = 0 where P is a positive integer is called (a) symmetric (b) skew symmetric (c) unit matrix (d) nilpotent 2. (AB)1 = (a) B 1 A1 (b) A1 B 1 (c) B 1 A1 (d) (BA)1 3. (AB)T = (a) AT B T (b) (A + B)T (c) B T AT (d) AT B T 4. If A is a square matrix such that AAT = I then the value of AT A is (a) A 1 (b) A2 (c) A (d) I 3 2 2 4 1 is 5. The matrix A = 2 2 4 1 (a) singular matrix (b) non-singular matrix (c) Orthogonal matrix (d) Unit matrix 6. Matrix A is said to be symmetric matrix if AT = (a) A (b) AT (c) -A (d) I 7.
