Question 1012 Marks
If $A$ and $B$ are square matrices of the same order, explain, why in general:
$(A − B)^2 \neq A^2 − 2AB + B^2$
Answer
$(A - B)^2 - (A - B)(A - B)$
$= A(A - B) - B(A - B) \{$using distributive property$\}$
$= A \times A - AB - BA + B \times B$
$= A^2 - AB - BA + B^2 \neq A^2 - 2AB + B^2$
Since, in general matrix multiplication is not commutative $(AB \neq BA),$
So, $(A - B)^2 \neq A^2 - 2AB + B^2$​​​​​​​

Question 1022 Marks
Compute the products AB and BA whichever exists the following cases:
$\text{A}=\begin{bmatrix}1&-2\\2&3\end{bmatrix}$ and $\text{B}=\begin{bmatrix}1&2&3\\2&3&1\end{bmatrix}$
Answer
$\text{AB}=\begin{bmatrix}1&-2\\2&3\end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix}1&2&3\\2&3&1\end{bmatrix}$
$\Rightarrow\text{AB}=\begin{bmatrix}1-4&2-6&3-2\\2+6&4+9&6+3\end{bmatrix}$
$\Rightarrow\text{AB}=\begin{bmatrix}-3&-4&1\\8&13&9\end{bmatrix}$
Since the number of columns in B is greater then the number of rows in A, BA does not exists.

Question 1032 Marks
If $\begin{bmatrix}1&-1\\-1&1\end{bmatrix},$ satisfies the matrix equation $A^2 = kA,$ write the value of $k.$
Answer
Given,
$\text{A}=\begin{bmatrix}1&-1\\-1&1\end{bmatrix}$
and
$\text{A}^2=\text{kA}$
$\Rightarrow\begin{bmatrix}1&-1\\-1&1\end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix}1&-1\\-1&1\end{bmatrix}=\text{k}\begin{bmatrix}1&-1\\-1&1\end{bmatrix}$
$\Rightarrow\begin{bmatrix}1+1&-1-1\\-1-1&1+1\end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}\text{k}&-\text{k}\\-1&1\end{bmatrix}$
$\Rightarrow\begin{bmatrix}2&-2\\-2&2\end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}\text{k}&-\text{k}\\-\text{k}&\text{k}\end{bmatrix}$
Since, corresponding entries of equal matrices are equal, so $k = 2$

Question 1052 Marks
If $A$ and $B$ are symmetric matrices of the same order, write whether $AB − BA$ is symmetric or skew-symmetric or neither of the two.
Answer
Since $A$ and $B$ are symmetric matrices, $A^T = A$ and $B^T = B.$
Here,
$(AB - BA)^T = (AB)^T - (BA)^T$
$\Rightarrow (AB - BA)^T = B^TA^{T }- A^TB^T [\because (AB)^T = B^TA^T]$
$\Rightarrow (AB - BA)^T = BA - AB [\because B^T = B$ and $A^{T }= A]$
$\Rightarrow (AB - BA)^T = -(AB - BA)$
Therefore, $AB - BA$ is skew - symmetric.

Question 1062 Marks
If $A$ is a square matrix such that $A^2 = A,$ then write the value of $7A − (I + A)^3,$ where $I$ is the identity matrix.
Answer
$A^{2 }= A$
$A^{3 }= A^{2 }= A$
$7A - (I + A)^3$
$= 7A - (I^{3 }+ A^{3 }+ 3A^2I + 3AI^2)$
$= 7A - (I + A + 3A + 3A)$
$= 7A - (I + 7A)$

Question 1092 Marks
Write a square matrix which is both symmetric as well as skew$-$symmetric.
Answer
Let $\text{A}=\begin{bmatrix}0&0\\0&0 \end{bmatrix}$
$\text{A}^{\text{T}{}}=\begin{bmatrix}0&0\\0&0 \end{bmatrix}$
Since $A^T = A, A$ is a symmetric matrix.
Now,
$-\text{A}=-\begin{bmatrix}0&0\\0&0 \end{bmatrix}$
$\Rightarrow-\text{A}=\begin{bmatrix}0&0\\0&0 \end{bmatrix}$
Since $A^T = -A, A$ is a skew$-$symmetric matrix.
Thus, $\text{A}=\begin{bmatrix}0&0\\0&0 \end{bmatrix}$is an exampal of a matrix that is both symmetric and skew$-$symmetric.

Question 1172 Marks
Find x, y, a and b if $\begin{bmatrix}2\text{x}-3\text{y}&\text{a}-\text{b}&3\\1&\text{x}+4\text{y}&3\text{a}+4\text{b}\end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}1&-2&3\\1&6&29\end{bmatrix}$
Answer
Since the corresponding elements of two equal matrices are equal,
$\begin{bmatrix}2\text{x}-3\text{y}&\text{a}-\text{b}&3\\1&\text{x}+4\text{y}&3\text{a}+4\text{b}\end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}1&-2&3\\1&6&29\end{bmatrix}$
⇒ 2x - 3y = 1 ...(1)
⇒ x + 4y = 6
⇒ x = 6 - 4y ...(2)
Putting the value of x in eq. (1), we get
2(6 - 4y) - 3y = 1
⇒ 12 - 8y - 3y = 1
⇒ 12 + 11y = 1
⇒ -11y = -11
$\Rightarrow\text{y}=\frac{-11}{-11}=1$
Putting the value of y in eq. (2), we get
x = 6 - 4(1)
⇒ x = 6 - 4
⇒ x = 2
Now,
a - b = -2
⇒ a = -2 + b ...(3)
3a + 4b = 29 ...(4)
Putting the value of a in eq. (4), we get
3(-2 + b) + 4b = 29
⇒ -6 + 3b + 4b = 29
⇒ -6 + 7b = 29
⇒ 7b = 29 + 6
⇒ 7b = 35
$\Rightarrow\text{b}=\frac{35}{7}=5$
Putting the value of b in eq. (3), we get
a = -2 + 5
⇒ a = 3
$\therefore$ a = 3, b = 5, x = 2 and y = 1

Answer
Given,
$n$ is odd natural number and $A$ is kew symmetric matrix.
$\Rightarrow A^{T }= -A$
Now,
$(A^n)^{T }= (A^T)^{n }$
$\Rightarrow (A^n)^{T }= (-A)^{n }\{$since, $a^{T }= -A\}$
$\Rightarrow (A^n)^T = (-1)^n A^n$
$\Rightarrow (A^n)^T = -A^n \{$since, $n$ is odd natural number$\}$
We know that, a square matrix $A$ is skew symmetric if $A^T = -A$
So,
$A^n$ is a skew symmetric matrix.

Question 1262 Marks
A matrix $X$ has $a + b$ rows and $a + 2$ columns while the matrix $Y$ has $b + 1$ rows and $a + 3$ columns. Both matrices $XY$ and $YX$ exist. Find $a$ and $b.$ Can you say $XY$ and $YX$ are of the same type? Are they equal.
Answer
Here, $[X]_{(a+b) \times (a+2)} [Y]_{(b+1) \times (a+3)} $ Since $XY$ exists, the number of columns in $X$ is equal to the number of rows in $Y.$
$\Rightarrow a + 2 = b + 1 ...(1)$
Similarly, since $YX$ exists, the number of columns in $Y$ is equal to the number of rows in $X.$
$\Rightarrow a + b = a + 3 $
$\Rightarrow b = 3$
Putting the value of $b$ in $(1),$ we get $a + 2 ≈ 3 + 1 $
$\Rightarrow a = 2$
Since the order of the matrices $XY$ and $YX$ is not same,
$XY$ and $YX$ are not of the same type and they are unequal.

$\Rightarrow\text{y}=\frac{54}{6}=9$
Putting the value of y in eq. (1), we get
x - 2 = 9
⇒ x = 9 + 2
⇒ x = 11
$\therefore$ x = 11, y = 9 and z = 3

Question 1282 Marks
Find the values of $x, y$ and $z$ from the following equations:
$\begin{bmatrix}\text{x+y} & 2 \\5+\text{z} & \text {xy} \end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}6 & 2 \\5& 8 \end{bmatrix}$
Answer
We are given that
$\begin{bmatrix}\text{x+y} & 2 \\5+\text{z} & \text {xy} \end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}6 & 2 \\5& 8 \end{bmatrix}$
By defination of equality of matrices,
$x + y = 6 ...(1)$
$5 + z = 5 ...(2)$
$xy = 8 ...(3)$
Form $(2), z = 0$
Form $y = 6 - x ...(4)$
Putting $y = 6 - x$ in $(3),$ we get.
$x(6 - x) =$ or $6 x - x^{2 } - 8 = 0$
$\therefore x^2 - 6x + 8 = 0 ? (x - 2) (x - 4) = 0;$
$? x = 2.4$
$\therefore$ from $(4), y = 6 - 2, 6 - 4 = 4, 2$
$\therefore$ we have
$x =2, y = 4, z = 0; x = 4, y = 2, z = 0$

Answer
$2\begin{bmatrix}3&4\\5&\text{x} \end{bmatrix}+\begin{bmatrix}1&\text{y}\\0&1 \end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}7&0\\10&5 \end{bmatrix}$
$\Rightarrow\begin{bmatrix}6+1&8+\text{y}\\10+0&2\text{x}+1 \end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}7&0\\10&5 \end{bmatrix}$
$\Rightarrow\begin{bmatrix}7&8+\text{y}\\10&2\text{x}+1 \end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}7&0\\10&5 \end{bmatrix}$
⇒ 8 + y = 0 and 2x + 1 = 5
⇒ y = - 8 and 2x = 4
⇒ y = - 8 and x = 2
Hence, x - y = 2 - (- 8) = 10.

Question 1302 Marks
Let $A$ and $B$ be square matrices of the same order. Does $(A + B)^2 = A^2 + 2AB + B^2$ hold? If not, why?
Answer
$\text{LHS} = (A + B)^2$
$= (A + B)(A + B)$
$= A(A + B) + B(A + B)$
$= A^2 + AB + BA + B^2$
We know that a matrix does not have commutative property.
So, $AB \neq BA$
Thus, $(A + B)^2 \neq A^2 + 2AB + B^2$

If $\begin{bmatrix}\text{xy}&4\\\text{z}+6&\text{x}+\text{y} \end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}8&\text{w}\\0&6 \end{bmatrix},$ write the value of (x + y + z).
Answer
$\begin{bmatrix}\text{xy}&4\\\text{z}+6&\text{x}+\text{y} \end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}8&\text{w}\\0&6 \end{bmatrix}$
Corresponding elements of equal matrices are equal.
$\therefore$ z + 6 = 0 and x + y = 6

Question 1332 Marks
The monthly incomes of Aryan and Babban are in the ratio 3 : 4 and their monthly expenditures are in the ratio 5 : 7. If each saves Rs. 15,000 per month, find their monthly incomes using matrix method. This problem reflects which value?
Answer
Let the monthly incomes of Aryan and Babban be 3x and 4x, respectively.
Suppose their monthly expenditures are 5y and 7y, respectively
Since each saves Rs. 15,000 per month,
Monthly saving of Aryan: 3x - 5y = 15,000
Monthly saving of Babban: 4x - 7y = 15,000
The above system of equations can be written in the matrix form as follows:
$\begin{bmatrix}3&-5\\4&-7\end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix}\text{x}\\\text{y} \end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}15000\\15000 \end{bmatrix}$
Or,
AX = B, where $\text{A}=\begin{bmatrix}3&-5\\4&-7\end{bmatrix},\text{X}=\begin{bmatrix}\text{x}\\\text{y} \end{bmatrix}$ and $\text{B}=\begin{bmatrix}15000\\15000 \end{bmatrix}$
Now,
$|\text{A}|=\begin{vmatrix}3&-5\\4&-7\end{vmatrix}=-21-(-20)=-1$
$\text{Adj A}=\begin{bmatrix}-7&-4\\5&3\end{bmatrix}^\text{T}=\begin{bmatrix}-7&5\\-4&3\end{bmatrix}$
So, $\text{A}^{-1}=\frac{1}{|\text{A}|}\text{ adj A}=-1=\begin{bmatrix}-7&5\\-4&3\end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}7&-5\\4&-3\end{bmatrix}$
$\therefore\ \text{X}=\text{A}^{-1}\text{B}$
$\Rightarrow\begin{bmatrix}\text{x}\\\text{y}\end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}7&-5\\4&-3\end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix}15000\\15000 \end{bmatrix}$
$\Rightarrow\begin{bmatrix}\text{x}\\\text{y}\end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}105000-75000\\60000-45000 \end{bmatrix}$
$\Rightarrow\begin{bmatrix}\text{x}\\\text{y} \end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}30000\\15000\end{bmatrix}$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}=30,000$ and $\text{y}=15,000$
Therefore,
Monthly income of Aryan = 3 × Rs. 30,000 = Rs. 90,000
Monthly income of Babban = 4 × Rs. 30,000 = Rs. 1,20,000
From this problem, we are encouraged to understand the power of savings.
We should save certain part of our monthly income for the future.

Answer
If $B$ is a skew$-$symmetric matrix, then $B^T = -B.$
$(\text{ABA}^\text{T})^\text{T}=(\text{A}^\text{T})^\text{T}\text{B}^\text{T}\text{A}^\text{T}$ $\big[\because\ (\text{ABC})^\text{T}=\text{C}^\text{T}\text{B}^\text{T}\text{A}^\text{T}\big]$
$\Rightarrow(\text{ABA}^\text{T})^\text{T}=\text{AB}^\text{T}\text{A}^\text{T}$ $\big[\because\ (\text{A}^\text{T})^\text{T}=\text{A}\big]$
$\Rightarrow(\text{ABA}^\text{T})^\text{T}=\text{A}(-\text{B})\text{A}^\text{T}$ $\big[\because\ \text{B}^\text{T}=-\text{B}\big]$
$\Rightarrow(\text{ABA}^\text{T})^\text{T}=-\text{ABA}^\text{T}$
$\therefore (\text{ABA}^\text{T})$ is a skew$-$symmetric matrix.

Question 1352 Marks
If $\begin{bmatrix}2\text{x}+1&5\text{x}\\0&\text{y}^2+1\end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}\text{x}+3&10\\0&26\end{bmatrix},$ find the value of (x + y).
Answer
As the given matrices are equal, therefore, their corresponding elements must be equal.
Comparing the corresponding elements, we get
$\begin{bmatrix}2\text{x} + 1 = \text{x} + 3&5\text{x}=10\\0=0&\text{y}^2+1=26\end{bmatrix}$
On simplifying, we get
x = 2 and $\text{y}=\pm5$
Therefore, x + y = 2 + 5 = 7
or x + y = 2 - 5 = -3
Hence, the value of (x + y) is 7, -3.

Answer
As the given m atrices are equal, therefore their corresponding elements must be equal.
Comparing the corresponding elements, we get
2a + b = 4 ...(i)
a - 2b = -3 ...(ii)
5c - d = 11 ...(iii)
4c + 3d = 24 ...(iv)
Multiplying (i) by 2 and adding to (ii)
5a = 5 ⇒ a = 1
(i) ⇒ b = 4 - 2 × 1 = 2
Multiplying (iii) by 3 and adding to (iv)
19c = 57 ⇒ c = 3
(iii) ⇒ d = 5 × 3 - 11 = 4
Hence, a = 1, b = 2, c = 3, d = 4

Question 1392 Marks
The monthly incomes of Aryan and Babban are in the ratio 3 : 4 and their monthly expenditures are in the ratio 5 : 7. If each saves ₹ 15,000 per month, find their monthly incomes using matrix method. This problem reflects which value?
Answer
Let the monthly incomes of Aryan and Babban be 3x and 4x, respectively.
Suppose their monthly expenditures are 5y and 7y, respectively.
Since each saves Rs. 15,000 per month,
Monthly saving of Aryan: 3x - 5y = 15,000
Monthly saving of Babban: 4x - 7y = 15,000
The above system of equations can be written in the matrix form as follows:
$\begin{bmatrix}3&-5\\4&-7\end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix}\text{x}\\\text{y}\end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}15000\\15000\end{bmatrix}$
or,
AX = B, where $\text{A}=\begin{bmatrix}3&-5\\4&-7\end{bmatrix},\ \text{X}=\begin{bmatrix}\text{x}\\\text{y}\end{bmatrix}$ and $\text{B}=\begin{bmatrix}15000\\15000\end{bmatrix}$
Now,
$\big|\text{A}\big|=\begin{vmatrix}3&-5\\4&-7\end{vmatrix}=-21-(-20)=-1$
$\text{Adj}\ \text{A}=\begin{bmatrix}-7&-4\\5&3\end{bmatrix}^\text{T}=\begin{bmatrix}-7&5\\-4&3\end{bmatrix}$
So, $\text{A}^{-1}=\frac{1}{\big|\text{A}\big|}\text{ adj }\text{A}=-1\begin{bmatrix}-7&5\\-4&3\end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}7&-5\\4&-3\end{bmatrix}$
$\therefore\ \text{X}=\text{A}^{-1}\text{B}$
$ \Rightarrow\begin{bmatrix}\text{x}\\\text{y}\end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}7&-5\\4&-3\end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix}15000\\15000\end{bmatrix}$
$ \Rightarrow\begin{bmatrix}\text{x}\\\text{y}\end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}105000-75000\\60000-45000\end{bmatrix}$
$\Rightarrow\begin{bmatrix}\text{x}\\\text{y}\end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}30000\\15000\end{bmatrix}$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}=30,000$ and $\text{y}=15,000$
Therefore,
Monthly income of Aryan = 3 × Rs. 30,000 = Rs. 90,000
Monthly income of Babban = 4 × Rs. 30,000 = Rs. 1,20,000
From this problem, we are encouraged to understand the power of savings. We should save certain part of our monthly income for the future.

Also,
$3\text{y}=6+\text{x}+\text{y}$
$\Rightarrow3\text{y}-\text{y}=6+\text{x}$
