Question 521 Mark
Construct a 3 × 4 matrix A = [aij] whose element aij are given by:
aij = 2i
Answer
Here, $\text{A}=(\text{a}_\text{ij})_{3\times4}=\begin{bmatrix}\text{a}_{11}&\text{a}_{12}&\text{a}_{13}&\text{a}_{14}\\\text{a}_{21}&\text{a}_{22}&\text{a}_{23}&\text{a}_{24}\\\text{a}_{31}&\text{a}_{32}&\text{a}_{33}&\text{a}_{34}\end{bmatrix}\ \dots(1)$
a11 = 2(1) = 2, a12 = 2(1) = 2, a13 = 2(1) = 2, a14 = 2(1) = 2
a21 = 2(2) = 4, a22 = 2(2) = 4, a23 = 2(2) = 4, a24 = 2(2) = 4
a31 = 2(3) = 6, a32 = 2(3) = 6, a33 = 2(3) = 6 and a34 = 2(3) = 6
So, the required matrix is $\begin{bmatrix}2&2&2&2\\4&4&4&4\\6&6&6&6\end{bmatrix}.$

Question 541 Mark
Construct a 4 × 3 matrix whose element are:
$\text{a}_\text{ij}=\frac{\text{i}-\text{j}}{\text{i}+\text{j}}$
Answer
Here,
$\text{a}_{11}=\frac{1-1}{1+1}=\frac{0}{2},\text{ a}_{12}=\frac{1-2}{1+2}=\frac{-1}{3},$ $\text{a}_{13}=\frac{1-3}{1+3}=\frac{-2}{4}=\frac{-1}{2}$
$\text{a}_{21}=\frac{2-1}{2+1}=\frac{1}{3},\text{ a}_{22}=\frac{2-2}{2-2}=\frac{0}{0}=0,$ $\text{a}_{23}=\frac{2-3}{2+3}=\frac{-1}{5}$
$\text{a}_{31}=\frac{3-1}{3+1}=\frac{2}{4}=\frac{1}{2},\text{ a}_{32}=\frac{3-2}{3+2}=\frac{1}{5},$ $\text{a}_{33}=\frac{3-3}{3+3}=\frac{0}{6}=0$
$\text{a}_{41}=\frac{4-1}{4+1}=\frac{3}{5},\text{a}_{42}=\frac{4-2}{4+2}=\frac{2}{6}=\frac{1}{3}$ and $\text{a}_{43}=\frac{4-3}{4+3}=\frac{1}{7}$
So, the required matrix is $\begin{bmatrix}0&\frac{-1}{3}&\frac{-1}{2}\\\frac {1}{3}&0&\frac{-1}{5}\\\frac{1}{2}&\frac{1}{5}&0\\ \frac{3}{5}&\frac{1}{3}&\frac{1}{7}\end{bmatrix}.$

Question 551 Mark
If $\text{A}[\text{a}_{\text{ij}}]=\begin{bmatrix}2&3&-5\\1&4&9\\0&7&-2\end{bmatrix}$ and $\text{B}=[\text{b}_\text{ij}]=\begin{bmatrix}2&-1\\-3&4\\1&-2\end{bmatrix}$
Then find a11 + b11 + a22b22
Answer
a11 b11 + a22b22 = (2)(2) + (4)(4) = 4 + 16 = 20
Hence, a11b11 + a22b22 = 20

Question 561 Mark
If X and Y are 2 × 2 matrices, then solve the following matrix equations for X and Y.
$2\text{X}+3\text{Y}=\begin{bmatrix}2&3\\4&0\end{bmatrix},\ 3\text{X}+2\text{Y}\begin{bmatrix}-2&2\\1&-5\end{bmatrix}$
Answer
We have,
$3(2\text{X}+3\text{Y})-2(3\text{X}+2\text{Y})=3\begin{bmatrix}2&3\\4&0\end{bmatrix}-2\begin{bmatrix}-2&2\\1&-5\end{bmatrix}$
$\Rightarrow6\text{X}+9\text{Y}-6\text{X}-4\text{Y}=\begin{bmatrix}6&9\\12&0\end{bmatrix}+\begin{bmatrix}4&-4\\-2&10\end{bmatrix}$
$\Rightarrow5\text{Y}=\begin{bmatrix}6+4&9-4\\12-2&0+10\end{bmatrix}$
$\Rightarrow\text{Y}=\frac{1}{5}\begin{bmatrix}10&5\\10&10\end{bmatrix}$
$\Rightarrow\text{Y}=\begin{bmatrix}2&1\\2&2\end{bmatrix}\ \dots(1)$
Also,
$2(2\text{X}+3\text{Y})-3(3\text{X}+2\text{Y})=2\begin{bmatrix}2&3\\4&0\end{bmatrix}-3\begin{bmatrix}-2&2\\1&-5\end{bmatrix}$
$\Rightarrow4\text{X}+6\text{Y}-9\text{X}-6\text{Y}=\begin{bmatrix}4&6\\8&0\end{bmatrix}+\begin{bmatrix}6&-6\\-3&15\end{bmatrix}$
$\Rightarrow-5\text{X}=\begin{bmatrix}6+4&6-6\\8-3&0+15\end{bmatrix}$
$\Rightarrow\text{X}=\frac{1}{-5}\begin{bmatrix}10&0\\5&15\end{bmatrix}$
$\Rightarrow\text{X}=\begin{bmatrix}-2&0\\-1&-3\end{bmatrix}\ \dots(2)$
From (1) and (2), we get
$\text{X}=\begin{bmatrix}-2&0\\-1&-3\end{bmatrix}$ and $\text{Y}=\begin{bmatrix}2&1\\2&2\end{bmatrix}$

Question 571 Mark
Construct a 4 × 3 matrix whose element are:
$\text{a}_\text{ij}=2\text{i}+\frac{\text{i}}{\text{j}}$
Answer
Here,
$\text{a}_{11}=2(1)+\frac{1}{1}=\frac{2+1}{1}=\frac{3}{1}=3,$ $\text{a}_{12}=2(1)+\frac{1}{3}=\frac{4+1}{2}=\frac{5}{2},$ $\text{a}_{13}=2(1)+\frac{1}{3}=\frac{6+1}{3}=\frac{7}{3}$
$\text{a}_{21}=2(2)+\frac{2}{1}=\frac{4+2}{1}=\frac{6}{1}=6,$ $\text{a}_{22}=2(2)+\frac{2}{2}=\frac{8+2}{2}=\frac{10}{2}=5,$ $\text{a}_{23}=2(2)+\frac{2}{3}=\frac{12+2}{3}=\frac{14}{3}$
$\text{a}_{31}=2(3)+\frac{3}{1}=\frac{6+3}{1}=\frac{9}{1}=9,$ $\text{a}_{32}=2(3)+\frac{3}{2}=\frac{12+3}{2}=\frac{15}{2},$ $\text{a}_{33}=2(3)+\frac{3}{5}=\frac{18+3}{3}=\frac{21}{3}=7$
$\text{a}_{41}=2(4)+\frac{4}{1}=\frac{8+4}{1}=\frac{12}{1}=12,$ $\text{a}_{42}=2(4)+\frac{4}{2}=\frac{16+4}{2}=\frac{20}{2}=10$ and $\text{a}_{43}=2(4)+\frac{4}{3}=\frac{24+4}{3}=\frac{28}{3}$
So, the required matrix is $\begin{bmatrix}3&\frac{5}{2}&\frac{7}{3}\\6&5&\frac{14}{3}\\9&\frac{15}{2}&7\\12&10&\frac{28}{3}\end{bmatrix}.$

Question 581 Mark
The bookshop of a particular school has 10 dozen chemistry books, 8 dozen physics books, 10 dozen economics books. Their selling prices are ₹ 80, ₹ 60 and ₹ 40 each respectively. Find the total amount the bookshop will receive from selling all the books using matrix algebra.
Answer
Let the number of books as a 1 x 3 matrix B = $\begin{bmatrix}10\text { dozen}& 8 \text{ dozen}&10\text{ dozen}\\10 \times 12 = 120&8\times 12 = 96& 10 \times12= 120 \end{bmatrix}$
Let the selling prices of each book as a 3 x 1 matrix S = $\begin{bmatrix}80\\60\\40\end{bmatrix}$
$\therefore$ Total amount received by selling all books = BS = $\begin{bmatrix}120&96&120\end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix}80\\60\\40\end{bmatrix}$
= [120(80) + 96(60)  + 120(40)] = [9600  + 5760 + 4800] = [20160]
Therefore, Total amount received by selling all the books = ₹ 20160

Question 621 Mark
Show that the matrix $\text{A}=\begin{bmatrix}0&1&-1\\-1&0&1\\1&-1&0\end{bmatrix}$is a symmentic matrix.
Answer
We have:
$\text{A}'=\begin{bmatrix}0&-1&1\\1&0&-1\\-1&1&0\end{bmatrix}=-\begin{bmatrix}0&1&-1\\-1&0&1\\1&-1&0\end{bmatrix}=-\text{A}$
$\therefore\ \text{ A}'=-\text{A} $
Hence, A is a skew-symmetric matrix.
