Q.1. If a matrix has 24 elements, how many possible orders it can have? What if it has 13 elements? And what
if it has 18 elements? [NCERT]
Q.2. Construct matrices with the following specifications:
(i) aij = (i + j)2 ; order: 2 x 2 (ii) aij = | –3i + j | ; order: 3 x 3

Q.3. Find the value of a, b, c and d from the equation [ ]=[ ] [NCERT]

Q.4. The number of all possible matrices of order 3 x 3 with each entry 0 or 1 is ______. [NCERT]
Q.5. If A = diagonal [1, –2, 5] and B = diagonal [3, 0, –4], then find X such that X = 3A – 2B. Also find, tr (X).
[Hint: Trace of a square matrix A is defined as the sum of its diagonal elements. It is denoted by tr (A).]
Q.6. If A = diag. [1, 2, 3], then find:
(i) the order of matrix A. (ii) the value of a31.
(iii) tr (A). (iv) the number of elements in the matrix A.

Q.7. If A = [ ] and B = [ ], find matrix C such that 5A + 3B + 2C is a null matrix.

Q.8. Compute the indicated products:

(i) [ ][ ] (ii) [ ] [ ] (iii) [ ][ ]

Q.9. If A = [ ], show that A2 = A.

Q.10. If A = [ ] and B = [ ], then prove that AB = BA.

[Note: Multiplication of matrices is not commutative in general. This does not mean it is true for every pair of
matrices. In fact, multiplication of diagonal matrices of the same order is always commutative.]

Q.11. If A = [ ], show that it is an orthogonal matrix.

[Hint: Any square matrix A will be orthogonal if AAT = ATA = I.]

Q.12. If the matrix [ ] is symmetric, then find the value(s) of x.
