To Our Parents
Preface to the Series
For almost a decade, we have been receiving tremendous responses from GATE aspirants for our earlier books:
GATE Multiple Choice Questions, GATE Guide, and the GATE Cloud series. Our first book, GATE Multiple
Choice Questions (MCQ), was a compilation of objective questions and solutions for all subjects of GATE
Electronics & Communication Engineering in one book. The idea behind the book was that Gate aspirants who
had just completed or about to finish their last semester to achieve his or her B.E/B.Tech need only to practice
answering questions to crack GATE. The solutions in the book were presented in such a manner that a student
needs to know fundamental concepts to understand them. We assumed that students have learned enough of
the fundamentals by his or her graduation. The book was a great success, but still there were a large ratio of
aspirants who needed more preparatory materials beyond just problems and solutions. This large ratio mainly
included average students.

Later, we perceived that many aspirants couldnt develop a good problem solving approach in their B.E/B.Tech.
Some of them lacked the fundamentals of a subject and had difficulty understanding simple solutions. Now,
we have an idea to enhance our content and present two separate books for each subject: one for theory, which
contains brief theory, problem solving methods, fundamental concepts, and points-to-remember. The second book
is about problems, including a vast collection of problems with descriptive and step-by-step solutions that can
be understood by an average student. This was the origin of GATE Guide (the theory book) and GATE Cloud
(the problem bank) series: two books for each subject. GATE Guide and GATE Cloud were published in three
subjects only.

Thereafter we received an immense number of emails from our readers looking for a complete study package
for all subjects and a book that combines both GATE Guide and GATE Cloud. This encouraged us to present
GATE Study Package (a set of 10 books: one for each subject) for GATE Electronic and Communication
Engineering. Each book in this package is adequate for the purpose of qualifying GATE for an average student.
Each book contains brief theory, fundamental concepts, problem solving methodology, summary of formulae,
and a solved question bank. The question bank has three exercises for each chapter: 1) Theoretical MCQs, 2)
Numerical MCQs, and 3) Numerical Type Questions (based on the new GATE pattern). Solutions are presented
in a descriptive and step-by-step manner, which are easy to understand for all aspirants.

We believe that each book of GATE Study Package helps a student learn fundamental concepts and develop
problem solving skills for a subject, which are key essentials to crack GATE. Although we have put a vigorous
effort in preparing this book, some errors may have crept in. We shall appreciate and greatly acknowledge all
constructive comments, criticisms, and suggestions from the users of this book. You may write to us at rajkumar.

PROPERTIES OF MATRIX MULTIPLICATION

If A, B and C are three matrices such that their product is defined, then
1. Generally not commutative; AB ! BA
2. Associative law; (AB) C = A (BC)
3. Distributive law; A (B + C) = AB + AC
4. Cancellation law is not applicable, i.e. if AB = AC , it does not mean
that B = C .
5. If AB = 0 , it does not mean that A = 0 or B = 0 .
6. (AB)T = (BA)T

Page 2 1.3 TRANSPOSE OF A MATRIX
Chap 1
Matrix Algebra The matrix obtained form a given matrix A by changing its rows into
columns or columns int rows is called Transpose of matrix A and is denoted
by AT . From the definition it is obvious that if order of A is m # n , then
order of AT is n # m .

PROPERTIES OF TRANSPOSE OF MATRIX

Consider the two matrices A and B


1. (AT )T = A
2. (A ! B)T = AT ! BT
3. (AB)T = BT AT

7. If A = diag (a1, a2,...., an) then A = a1, a2 ...an .
8. A n = An , n ! N .
9. If A = 0 , then matrix is called singular.

Singular Matrix
A square matrix A is said to be singular if A = 0 and non-singular if
A ! 0.

1.5 RANK OF MATRIX

The number, r with the following two properties is called the rank of the
matrix
1. There is at least one non-zero minor of order r .
2. Every minor of order (r + 1) is zero.
This definition of the rank does uniquely fix the same for, as a consequence
of the condition (2), every minor of order (r + 2), being the sum of multiples
of minors of order (r + 1), will be zero. In fact, every minor of order greater

than r will be zero as a consequence of the condition (2). Page 3
The given following two simple results follow immediately from the definition Chap 1
1. There exists a non-zero minor or order r & the rank is $ r . Matrix Algebra

2. All minors of order (r + 1) are zero & the rank is # r .


In each of the two cases above, we assume r to satisfy only one of two
properties (1) or (2) of the rank. The rank of matrix A represented by
symbol r (A) .
Nullity of a Matrix
If A is a square matrix of a order n, then n - r (A) is called the nullity of
the matrix A and is denoted by N (A). Thus a non-singular square matrix of
order n has rank equal to n and the nullity of such a matrix is equal to zero.

1.6 ADJOINT OF A MATRIX

If every element of a square matrix A be replaced by its cofactor in A ,


then the transpose of the matrix so obtained is called the Adjoint of matrix
A and it is denoted by adj A. Thus, if A = 6aij @ be a square matrix and Fij

in
be the cofactor of aij in A , then adj A + 6Fij @T .

1.7 INVERSE OF A MATRIX

If A and B are two matrices such that AB = I = BA, then B is called the
inverse of A and it is denoted by A-1 . Thus,
A-1 = B + AB = I = BA
To find inverse matrix of a given matrix A we use following formula
adj A
A-1 =
A
Thus A-1 exists if A ! 0 and matrix A is called invertible.

1.7.1 Elementary Transformations


Any one of the following operations on a matrix is called an elementary
transformation (or E -operation).
1. Interchange of two rows or two columns

i. n
(1) The interchange of i th and j th rows is denoted by Ri ) R j
(2) The interchange of i th and j th columns is denoted by Ci ) C j .

.c o
2. Multiplication of (each element ) a row or column by a k.

a
th
(1) The multiplication of i row by k is denoted by Ri " kRi

i
(2) The multiplication of i th column by k is denoted by Ci " kCi

o d
3. Addition of k times the elements of a row (or column) to the corresponding

. n
elements of another row (or column), k ! 0
(1) The addition of k times the j th row to the i th row is denoted by

w wRi " Ri + kR j .
(2) The addition of k times the j th column to the i th column is denoted by

w Ci " Ci + kC j .
If a matrix B is obtained from a matrix A by one or more E -operations,
then B is said to be equivalent to A. They can be written as A + B .

1.7.2 Inverse of Matrix by Elementary Transformations


The elementary row transformations which reduces a square matrix A to
the unit matrix, when applied to the unit matrix, gives the inverse matrix
A-1 . Let A be a non-singular square matrix. Then,
A = IA
Apply suitable E -row operations to A on the left hand side so that A
is reduced to I . Simultaneously, apply the same E -row operations to the
pre-factor I on right hand side. Let I reduce to B, so that I = BA. Post-
multiplying by A-1 , we get
IA-1 = BAA-1
or A-1 = B (AA-1) = BI = B
or B = A-1

1.8 ECHELON FORM Page 5
Chap 1
A matrix is said to be of Echelon form if, Matrix Algebra
1. Every row of matrix A which has all its entries 0 occurs below every row
which has a non-zero entry.
2. The first non-zero entry in each non-zero is equal to one.
3. The number of zeros before the first non-zero element in a row is less
than the number of such zeros in the next row.

Rank of a matrix in the Echelon form


The rank of a matrix in the echelon form is equal to the number of non-zero
rows of the given matrix. For example,
R0 2 6 1V
S W
the rank of the matrix A = S0 0 1 2W is 2
SS0 0 0 0WW

1.9 NORMAL FORM

.in
By a finite number of elementary transformations, every non-zero matrix

forms.

.co
A of order m # n and rank r (> 0) can be reduced to one of the following

Ir O Ir
> O O H, > O H, 8Ir OB, 8IrB

ia
od
Ir denotes identity matrix of order r . Each one of these four forms is called
Normal Form or Canonical Form or Orthogonal Form.

.n
Procedure for Reduction of Normal Form
Let A = 6aij@ be any matrix of order m # n . Then, we can reduce it to the

ww
normal form of the matrix A by subjecting it to a number of elementary
transformation using following methodology.

w
METHODOLOGY: REDUCTION OF NORMAL FORM

1. We first interchange a pair of rows (or columns), if necessary, to obtain


a non-zero element in the first row and first column of the matrix A.
2. Divide the first row by this non-zero element, if it is not 1.
3. We subtract appropriate multiples of the elements of the first row
from other rows so as to obtain zeroes in the remainder of the first
column.
4. We subtract appropriate multiple of the elements of the first column
from other columns so as to obtain zeroes in the remainder of the first
row.
5. We repeat the above four steps starting with the element in the second
row and the second column.
6. Continue this process down the leading diagonal until the end of the
diagonal is reached or until all the remaining elements in the matrix
are zero.

Since r (A) = n - 1, at least one (n - 1) rowed minor of A is non-zero, so at
least one minor and therefore the corresponding co-factor is non-zero.
So, adjA ! 0

SOL 1.44 Correct option is (C).


If A = [aij ] n # n then detA = [Cij ]Tn # n where Cij is the cofactor of aij
Also Cij = (- 1) i + j Mij , where Mij is the minor of aij , obtained by leaving the
row and the column corresponding to aij and then taken the determinant of
the remaining matrix.
