Matrices
Class XII | Sheet #5 | ISC/CBSE
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.
[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.13. Express each of the following matrices as the sum of a symmetric and a skew-symmetric matrices:
Q.14. Find the inverse of the following matrices using elementary row transformations:
Q.18. (i) If A is a square matrix of order 3 and | A | = 7, write the value of | adj A |.
(ii) If A is a non-singular matrix of order 5 such that | adj A | = 625, find | AT |.
Q.19. Find the adjoint of the matrix A = [ ] and hence show that A (adj A) = | A | I.
Q.23. If A = [ ], then find x such that A2 = xA – 2I. Then, find A–1. [ISC 2011]
