Q1 Text Solution: Q4 Text Solution:

Given, A = [aij ]
3×3
We know that if matrix is of order m × n, it has
⎧
⎪
2i + 3j i < j mn elements, we will find all ordered pairs of
aij = ⎨ 5 i = j natural numbers, whose product is 8.
⎩
⎪
3i − 2j i > j Thus, all possible ordered pairs are
a11 = 5 (1, 8), (4, 2), (2, 4)

a12 = 2 + 3(2) Hence, not possible order is 4 × 4

= 8
Q5 Video Solution:
a13 = 2 + 3(3)

= 11

a21 = 3(2) − 2 = 4

a22 = 5

a23 = 2(2) + 3(3) = 13

Q6 Video Solution:
a31 = 3(3) − 2 = 7

a32 = 3(3) − 2(2) = 5

a33 = 5

Number of element which are more than 5 are 4
Hence, correct option is B i.e. 4

Q2 Video Solution:

Q8 Video Solution:

Q3 Text Solution:
In matrix A number of
Rows = 3 Q9 Video Solution:
C olumns = 2

Element in A = 3 × 2 = 6

In matrix B
Rows = 3

C olumns = 3

Element in A = 3 × 3 = 9 Q10 Video Solution:

In matrix C
Rows = 2

C olumns = 3

Element in A = 2 × 3 = 6

then the elements in ( A, B ) and ( C ) are

respectively 6, 9, 6
