MCQ 1511 Mark
If $\text{A}=\begin{bmatrix} 2 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 2 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 2 \end{bmatrix},$ then $A^5 =$
  • A
    $5A$
  • B
    $10A$
  • $16A$
  • D
    $32A$
Answer
Correct option: C.
$16A$
$\text{A}=\begin{bmatrix} 2 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 2 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 2 \end{bmatrix}$
$\Rightarrow\text{A}=2\begin{bmatrix} 1 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 1 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 1 \end{bmatrix}$
$\Rightarrow\text{A}=2\text{I}$
$\Rightarrow\text{A}^5=(2\text{I})^5$
$\Rightarrow\text{A}^5=16\times2\text{I}$
$\Rightarrow\text{A}^5=16\begin{bmatrix} 2 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 2 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 2 \end{bmatrix}$
$\Rightarrow\text{A}^5=16\text{A}$

Question 1541 Mark
Let $\text{P}$ and $\text{Q}$ be $3\times3$ matrices with $\text{P}\neq\text{Q}.$ If $\text{P}^3=\text{Q}^3$ and $\text{P}^2\text{Q}=\text{Q}^2\text{P}$ then determinant of $(\text{P}^2+\text{Q}^2)$ is equal to:
  1. -2
  2. 1
  3. 0
  4. -1
Answer
  1. 0
Solution:
$\text{P}^3=\text{Q}^3$

$\Rightarrow\text{P}^3- \text{P}^2\text{Q}=\text{Q}^3- \text{Q}^2\text{P}$

$\Rightarrow\text{P}^2(\text{P- Q})=\text{Q}^2(\text{Q- P})$

$\Rightarrow \text{P}^2(\text{P- Q})-\text{Q}^2(\text{Q- P})=0$

$\Rightarrow (\text{P}^2+\text{Q}^2)(\text{P}-\text{Q})=0\Rightarrow|\text{P}^2+\text{Q}^2|=0$

Question 1551 Mark
Find the determinant of the matrix $\text{A}=\begin{bmatrix}-\cos\theta&-tan\theta\\\cot\theta&\cos\theta\end{bmatrix}$ is:
  1. $\sin^2\theta$
  2. $\sin\theta$
  3. $-\sin\theta$
  4. $-\sin^2\theta$
Answer
  1. $\sin^2\theta$
Solution:
Given that, $\text{A}=\begin{bmatrix}-\cos\theta&-tan\theta\\\cot\theta&\cos\theta\end{bmatrix}$
$|\text{A}|=\begin{bmatrix}-\cos\theta&-tan\theta\\\cot\theta&\cos\theta\end{bmatrix}$
$|\text{A}|=-\cos⁡\theta (\cos⁡\theta )-\cot\theta(-\tan⁡\theta) $
$|\text{A}|=-\cos^2\theta⁡+1=\sin^2⁡\theta.$

Choose the correct answer from given four options in each of the Exercise:
If $x, y, z$ are all different from zero and $\begin{vmatrix}1+\text{x}&1&1\\1&1+\text{y}&1\\1&1&1+\text{z}\end{vmatrix}=0,$ then the value of $x^{-1} + y^{-1} + z^{-1}$ is:
  • A
    $xyz$
  • B
    $x^{-1} + y^{-1} + z^{-1}$
  • C
    $-x - y - z$
  • $-1$
Answer
Correct option: D.
$-1$

We have, $\begin{vmatrix}1+\text{x}&1&1\\1&1+\text{y}&1\\1&1&1+\text{z}\end{vmatrix}=0$
$\text{Applying C}_1\rightarrow\text{C}_1-\text{C}_3\text{ and C}_2\rightarrow\text{C}_2-\text{C}_3,$
$\Rightarrow\ \begin{vmatrix}\text{x}&0&1\\0&\text{y}&1\\-\text{z}&-\text{z}&1+\text{z}\end{vmatrix}=0$
Expanding along $R_1,$
$\text{x}\big[\text{y}(1+\text{z})+\text{z}\big]-0+1(\text{yz})=0$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}(\text{y}+\text{yz}+\text{z})+\text{zy}=0$
$\Rightarrow\text{xy}+\text{xyz}+\text{xz}+\text{xz}=0$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{xy}}{\text{xyz}}+\frac{\text{xyz}}{\text{xyz}}+\frac{\text{xz}}{\text{xyz}} +\frac{\text{yz}}{\text{xyz}} =0 [$On dividing by $(xyz)$ from both sides$]$
$\Rightarrow\ \frac{1}{\text{x}}+\frac{1}{\text{y}}+\frac{1}{\text{z}}+1=0$
$\Rightarrow\ \frac{1}{\text{x}}+\frac{1}{\text{y}}+\frac{1}{\text{z}}=-1$
$\therefore​​​​​​\text{x}^{-1}+\text{y}^{-1}+\text{z}^{-1}=-1$

The maximum value of $\triangle=\begin{vmatrix}1&1&1\\1&1+\sin\theta&1\\1+\cos\theta&1&1\end{vmatrix}$ is $(\theta$ is real$):$
  • $\frac{1}{2}$
  • B
    $\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$
  • C
    $\sqrt{2}$
  • D
    $-\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$
Answer
Correct option: A.
$\frac{1}{2}$

$\triangle=\begin{vmatrix}1&1&1\\1&1+\sin\theta&1\\1+\cos\theta&1&1\end{vmatrix}$
$=\begin{vmatrix}1&1&1\\0&\sin\theta&0\\\cos\theta&0&0\end{vmatrix} [$Applying $R_2 \rightarrow R_2 - R_1$ and $R_3 \rightarrow R_3 - R_1]$
$=-\sin\theta\cos\theta$
$=-\frac{\sin2\theta}{2}$
Now, maximum and minimum value of $\sin\theta$ is $1$ and $-1.$
So, the maximum value of $-\sin\theta$ is $1.$
So, the maximum value of $-\sin2\theta$ is $1.$
Therefore, the maximum value of $-\frac{\sin2\theta}{2}$ is $\frac{1}{2}$
Hence, the correct option is $(a)$

$=\text{y}^2\begin{vmatrix}-2&1&1\\\text{x}+2\text{y}&\text{x}&\text{x}+\text{y}\\-1&2&-1\end{vmatrix} [$Taking $(y)$ common from $R_1$ and from $R_3]$
