Matrices Miscellaneous Exercise:

Question:1 Let A = \begin{bmatrix} 0 &1 \\ 0 & 0 \end{bmatrix}, show that (aI + bA)^n = a^n I + na^{n-1} bA, where I is the identity matrix of order 2 and n \in N.

Answer:

Given :

A = \begin{bmatrix} 0 &1 \\ 0 & 0 \end{bmatrix}

To prove : (aI + bA)^n = a^n I + na^{n-1} bA

For n=1, aI + bA = a I + a^{0} bA =a I + bA

The result is true for n=1.

Let result be true for n=k,

(aI + bA)^k = a^k I + ka^{k-1} bA

Now, we prove that the result is true for n=k+1,

(aI + bA)^{k+1} = (aI + bA)^k (aI + bA)

= (a^k I + ka^{k-1} bA)(aI + bA)

=a^{k+1}I+Ka^{k}bAI+a^{k}bAI+ka^{k-1}b^{2}A^{2}

=a^{k+1}I+(k+1)a^{k}bAI+ka^{k-1}b^{2}A^{2}

A^{2} = \begin{bmatrix} 0 &1 \\ 0 & 0 \end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix} 0 &1 \\ 0 & 0 \end{bmatrix}

A^{2} = \begin{bmatrix} 0 &0 \\ 0 & 0 \end{bmatrix}=0

Put the value of A^{2} in above equation,

(aI + bA)^{k+1}=a^{k+1}I+(k+1)a^{k}bAI+ka^{k-1}b^{2}A^{2}

(aI + bA)^{k+1}=a^{k+1}I+(k+1)a^{k}bAI+0

=a^{k+1}I+(k+1)a^{k}bAI

Hence, the result is true for n=k+1.

Thus, we have (aI + bA)^n = a^n I + na^{n-1} bA where A = \begin{bmatrix} 0 &1 \\ 0 & 0 \end{bmatrix},n \in N.

Question 2. If A = \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 1 & 1\\ 1& 1& 1\\ 1& 1& 1 \end{bmatrix} then show that A^n =\begin{bmatrix} 3^{n-1} & 3^{n-1} &3^{n-1} \\ 3^{n-1}& 3^{n-1} & 3^{n-1}\\ 3^{n-1} & 3^{n-1}& 3^{n-1} \end{bmatrix}, n\in N.

Answer:

Given :

A = \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 1 & 1\\ 1& 1& 1\\ 1& 1& 1 \end{bmatrix}

To prove:

A^n =\begin{bmatrix} 3^{n-1} & 3^{n-1} &3^{n-1} \\ 3^{n-1}& 3^{n-1} & 3^{n-1}\\ 3^{n-1} & 3^{n-1}& 3^{n-1} \end{bmatrix}

For n=1, we have

A^1 =\begin{bmatrix} 3^{1-1} & 3^{1-1} &3^{1-1} \\ 3^{1-1}& 3^{1-1} & 3^{1-1}\\ 3^{1-1} & 3^{1-1}& 3^{1-1} \end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix} 3^{0} & 3^{0} &3^{0} \\ 3^{0}& 3^{0} & 3^{0}\\ 3^{0} & 3^{0}& 3^{0} \end{bmatrix}= \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 1 & 1\\ 1& 1& 1\\ 1& 1& 1 \end{bmatrix}=A

Thus, the result is true for n=1.

Now, take n=k,

A^k =\begin{bmatrix} 3^{k-1} & 3^{k-1} &3^{k-1} \\ 3^{k-1}& 3^{k-1} & 3^{k-1}\\ 3^{k-1} & 3^{k-1}& 3^{k-1} \end{bmatrix}

For, n=k+1,

A^{K+1}=A.A^K

= \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 1 & 1\\ 1& 1& 1\\ 1& 1& 1 \end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix} 3^{k-1} & 3^{k-1} &3^{k-1} \\ 3^{k-1}& 3^{k-1} & 3^{k-1}\\ 3^{k-1} & 3^{k-1}& 3^{k-1} \end{bmatrix}

=\begin{bmatrix}3. 3^{k-1} & 3.3^{k-1} &3.3^{k-1} \\3. 3^{k-1}& 3.3^{k-1} & 3.3^{k-1}\\3. 3^{k-1} & 3.3^{k-1}&3. 3^{k-1} \end{bmatrix}

=\begin{bmatrix} 3^{(K+1)-1} &3^{(K+1)-1} &3^{(K+1)-1}\\ 3^{(K+1)-1}&3^{(K+1)-1} &3^{(K+1)-1}\\ 3^{(K+1)-1} & 3^{(K+1)-1}& 3^{(K+1)-1}\end{bmatrix}

Thus, the result is true for n=k+1.

Hence, we have A^n =\begin{bmatrix} 3^{n-1} & 3^{n-1} &3^{n-1} \\ 3^{n-1}& 3^{n-1} & 3^{n-1}\\ 3^{n-1} & 3^{n-1}& 3^{n-1} \end{bmatrix}, n\in N where A = \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 1 & 1\\ 1& 1& 1\\ 1& 1& 1 \end{bmatrix}.

Question 3. If A = \begin{bmatrix} 3 & -4\\ 1& -1 \end{bmatrix}, then prove that A^n = \begin{bmatrix} 1+2n & -4n \\ n & 1-2n \end{bmatrix}, where n is any positive integer.

Answer:

Given :

A = \begin{bmatrix} 3 & -4\\ 1& -1 \end{bmatrix}

To prove:

A^n = \begin{bmatrix} 1+2n & -4n \\ n & 1-2n \end{bmatrix}

For n=1, we have

A^1 = \begin{bmatrix} 1+2\times 1 & -4\times 1\\ 1 & 1-2\times 1 \end{bmatrix}= \begin{bmatrix} 3 & -4\\ 1 & -1 \end{bmatrix}=A

Thus, result is true for n=1.

Now, take result is true for n=k,

A^k = \begin{bmatrix} 1+2k & -4k\\ k & 1-2k \end{bmatrix}

For, n=k+1,

A^{K+1}=A.A^K

= \begin{bmatrix} 3 & -4\\ 1& -1 \end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix} 1+2k & -4k\\ k & 1-2k \end{bmatrix}

=\begin{bmatrix} 3(1+2k)-4k & -12k-4(1-2k)\\ (1+2k)-k &-4k-(1-2k) \end{bmatrix}

=\begin{bmatrix} 3+6k-4k & -12k-4k+8k\\ 1+k &-4k-1+2k \end{bmatrix}

=\begin{bmatrix} 3+2k & -4k-4k\\ 1+k &-2k-1 \end{bmatrix}

=\begin{bmatrix} 1+2(k+1)& -4(k+1)\\ 1+k &1-2(k+1) \end{bmatrix}

Thus, the result is true for n=k+1.

Hence, we have A^n = \begin{bmatrix} 1+2n & -4n \\ n & 1-2n \end{bmatrix}, where A = \begin{bmatrix} 3 & -4\\ 1& -1 \end{bmatrix}.

Question 4. If A and B are symmetric matrices, prove that AB - BA is a skew symmetric matrix.

Answer:

If A, B are symmetric matrices then

A'=A and B' = B

we have, \left ( AB-BA \right )'=\left ( AB \right )'-\left ( BA \right )'=B'A'-A'B'

=BA-AB

= -(AB-BA)

Hence, we have (AB-BA) = -(AB-BA)'

Thus,( AB-BA)' is skew symmetric.

Question 5. Show that the matrix B′AB is symmetric or skew symmetric according as A is symmetric or skew symmetric.

Answer:

Let be a A is symmetric matrix , then A'=A

Consider, (B'AB)' ={B'(AB)}'

={(AB)}'(B')'

= B'A'(B)

= B'(A'B)

Replace A' by A

=B'(AB)

i.e. (B'AB)' =B'(AB)

Thus, if A is a symmetric matrix than B'(AB) is a symmetric matrix.


Now, let A be a skew-symmetric matrix, then A'=-A.

(B'AB)' ={B'(AB)}'

={(AB)}'(B')'

= B'A'(B)

= B'(A'B)

Replace A' by -A,

=B'(-AB)

= - B'AB

i.e. (B'AB)' = - B'AB.

Thus, if A is a skew-symmetric matrix then - B'AB is a skew-symmetric matrix.

Hence, the matrix B′AB is symmetric or skew-symmetric according to as A is symmetric or skew-symmetric.

Question 6. Find the values of x, y, z if the matrix A = \begin{bmatrix} 0 & 2y & z\\ x & y & -z\\ x & -y &z \end{bmatrix} satisfy the equation A'A = I

Answer:

A = \begin{bmatrix} 0 & 2y & z\\ x & y & -z\\ x & -y &z \end{bmatrix}

A' = \begin{bmatrix} 0 & x & x\\ 2y & y & -y\\ z & -z &z \end{bmatrix}

A'A = I

\begin{bmatrix} 0 & x & x\\ 2y & y & -y\\ z & -z &z \end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix} 0 & 2y & z\\ x & y & -z\\ x & -y &z \end{bmatrix}= \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 0& 0\\ 0 & 1 & 0\\ 0 & 0 &1\end{bmatrix}

\begin{bmatrix} x^{2}+x^{2} & xy-xy& -xz+xz\\ xy-xy& 4y^{2}+y^{2}+y^{2} & 2yz-yz-yz\\ -zx+zx & 2yz-yz-yz &z^{2}+z^{2}+z^{2}\end{bmatrix}= \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 0& 0\\ 0 & 1 & 0\\ 0 & 0 &1\end{bmatrix}

\begin{bmatrix} 2x^{2} & 0& 0\\ 0& 6y^{2} & 0\\ 0 & 0 &3z^{2}\end{bmatrix}= \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 0& 0\\ 0 & 1 & 0\\ 0 & 0 &1\end{bmatrix}

Thus equating the terms element wise

2x^{2} = 1 6y^{2} = 1 3z^{2} = 1

x^{2} = \frac{1}{2} y^{2} = \frac{1}{6} z^{2}=\frac{1}{3}

x = \pm \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} y= \pm \frac{1}{\sqrt{6}} z=\pm \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}

Question 7. For what values of x: \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 2 & 1 \end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix} 1 & 2 & 0\\ 2 & 0 &1 \\ 1& 0& 2\end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix} 0\\ 2 \\ x \end{bmatrix} = O?

Answer:

\begin{bmatrix} 1 & 2 & 1 \end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix} 1 & 2 & 0\\ 2 & 0 &1 \\ 1& 0& 2\end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix} 0\\ 2 \\ x \end{bmatrix} = O

\begin{bmatrix} 1+4+1 & 2+0+0 & 0+2+2 \end{bmatrix} \begin{bmatrix} 0\\ 2 \\ x \end{bmatrix} = O

\begin{bmatrix} 6& 2& 4 \end{bmatrix} \begin{bmatrix} 0\\ 2 \\ x \end{bmatrix} = O

\begin{bmatrix} 0+4+4x \end{bmatrix} = O

4+4x=0

4x=-4

x=-1

Thus, value of x is -1.

Question 8. If A = \begin{bmatrix} 3 &1 \\ -1 & 2 \end{bmatrix}, show that A^2 -5A + 7I= 0.

Answer:

A = \begin{bmatrix} 3 &1 \\ -1 & 2 \end{bmatrix}

A^{2} = \begin{bmatrix} 3 &1 \\ -1 & 2 \end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix} 3 &1 \\ -1 & 2 \end{bmatrix}

A^{2} = \begin{bmatrix} 9-1 &3+2 \\ -3-2 & -1+4 \end{bmatrix}

A^{2} = \begin{bmatrix} 8 &5 \\ -5 & 3 \end{bmatrix}

I= \begin{bmatrix} 1 &0 \\ 0& 1 \end{bmatrix}

To prove: A^2 -5A + 7I= 0

L.H.S : A^2 -5A + 7I

= \begin{bmatrix} 8 &5 \\ -5 & 3 \end{bmatrix}-5 \begin{bmatrix} 3 &1 \\ -1 & 2 \end{bmatrix}+ 7 \begin{bmatrix} 1 &0 \\ 0& 1 \end{bmatrix}

=\begin{bmatrix} 8-15+7 &5-5+0 \\ -5+5+0& 3-10+7 \end{bmatrix}

=\begin{bmatrix} 0 &0 \\ 0& 0 \end{bmatrix} =0=R.H.S

Hence, we proved that

A^2 -5A + 7I= 0.

Question 9. Find x, if \begin{bmatrix} x & -5 & -1 \end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix} 1 & 0 & 2\\ 0 & 2 & 1\\ 2 & 0 & 3 \end{bmatrix} \begin{bmatrix} x\\ 4\\ 1 \end{bmatrix} = 0.

Answer:

\begin{bmatrix} x & -5 & -1 \end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix} 1 & 0 & 2\\ 0 & 2 & 1\\ 2 & 0 & 3 \end{bmatrix} \begin{bmatrix} x\\ 4\\ 1 \end{bmatrix} = 0

\begin{bmatrix} x +0-2& 0-10+0 & 2x-5-3 \end{bmatrix} \begin{bmatrix} x\\ 4\\ 1 \end{bmatrix} = 0

\begin{bmatrix} x -2& -10 & 2x-8 \end{bmatrix} \begin{bmatrix} x\\ 4\\ 1 \end{bmatrix} = 0

\begin{bmatrix}x (x -2)-40+(2x-8) \end{bmatrix} = 0

\begin{bmatrix}x ^{2}-2x-40+2x-8\end{bmatrix} = 0

\therefore \, \, x ^{2}-48= 0

x ^{2}=48

thus the value of x is

x =\pm 4\sqrt{3}

Question 10(a) A manufacturer produces three products x, y, z which he sells in two markets.
Annual sales are indicated below:

Market Products
I 10,000 2,000 18,000
II 6,000 20,000 8,000

If unit sale prices of x, y and z are ` 2.50, ` 1.50 and ` 1.00, respectively, find the total revenue in each market with the help of matrix algebra.

Answer:

The unit sale prices of x, y and z are ` 2.50, ` 1.50 and ` 1.00, respectively.

The total revenue in the market I with the help of matrix algebra can be represented as :

\begin{bmatrix} 10000& 2000 & 18000 \end{bmatrix} \begin{bmatrix} 2.50\\ 1.50\\ 1.00 \end{bmatrix}

= 10000\times 2.50+2000\times 1.50+18000\times 1.00

= 25000+3000+18000

= 46000

The total revenue in market II with the help of matrix algebra can be represented as :

\begin{bmatrix} 6000& 20000 & 8000 \end{bmatrix} \begin{bmatrix} 2.50\\ 1.50\\ 1.00 \end{bmatrix}

= 6000\times 2.50+20000\times 1.50+8000\times 1.00

= 15000+30000+8000

= 53000

Hence, total revenue in the market I is 46000 and total revenue in market II is 53000.

Question 10(b). A manufacturer produces three products x, y, z which he sells in two markets.
Annual sales are indicated below:

Market Products
I 10,000 2,000 18,000
II 6,000 20,000 8,000

If the unit costs of the above three commodities are ` 2.00, ` 1.00 and 50 paise respectively. Find the gross profit.

Answer:

The unit costs of the above three commodities are ` 2.00, ` 1.00 and 50 paise respectively.

The total cost price in market I with the help of matrix algebra can be represented as :

\begin{bmatrix} 10000& 2000 & 18000 \end{bmatrix} \begin{bmatrix} 2.00\\ 1.00\\ 0.50 \end{bmatrix}

= 10000\times 2.00+2000\times 1.00+18000\times 0.50

= 20000+2000+9000

= 31000

Total revenue in the market I is 46000 , gross profit in the market is = 46000-31000=Rs. 15000

The total cost price in market II with the help of matrix algebra can be represented as :

\begin{bmatrix} 6000& 20000 & 8000 \end{bmatrix} \begin{bmatrix} 2.00\\ 1.00\\ 0.50 \end{bmatrix}

= 6000\times 2.0+20000\times 1.0+8000\times 0.50

= 12000+20000+4000

= 36000

Total revenue in market II is 53000, gross profit in the market is= 53000-36000= Rs. 17000

Question 11. Find the matrix X so that X\begin{bmatrix} 1 & 2 &3 \\ 4 & 5 & 6 \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} -7 & -8 & -9\\ 2 &4 & 6 \end{bmatrix}

Answer:

X\begin{bmatrix} 1 & 2 &3 \\ 4 & 5 & 6 \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} -7 & -8 & -9\\ 2 &4 & 6 \end{bmatrix}

The matrix given on R.H.S is 2\times 3 matrix and on LH.S is 2\times 3 matrix.Therefore, X has to be 2\times 2 matrix.

Let X be \begin{bmatrix} a & c\\ b & d \end{bmatrix}

\begin{bmatrix} a & c\\ b & d \end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix} 1 & 2 &3 \\ 4 & 5 & 6 \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} -7 & -8 & -9\\ 2 &4 & 6 \end{bmatrix}

\begin{bmatrix} a+4c & 2a+5c &3a+6c \\ b+4d & 2b+5d & 3b+6d \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} -7 & -8 & -9\\ 2 &4 & 6 \end{bmatrix}

a+4c=-7 2a+5c=-8 3a+6c=-9

b+4d=2 2b+5d=4 3b+6d=6

Taking, a+4c=-7

a=-4c-7

2a+5c=-8

-8c-14+5c=-8

-3c=6

c=-2

a=-4\times -2-7

a=8-7=1

b+4d=2

b=-4d+2

2b+5d=4

\Rightarrow -8d+4+5d=4

\Rightarrow -3d=0

\Rightarrow d=0

b=-4d+2

\Rightarrow b=-4\times 0+2=2

Hence, we have a=1, b=2,c=-2,d=0

Matrix X is \begin{bmatrix} 1 & -2\\ 2 & 0 \end{bmatrix}.

Question 12. If A and B are square matrices of the same order such that AB = BA, then prove by induction that AB^n = B^n A. Further, prove that (AB)^n = A^n B^nfor all n \in N.

Answer:

A and B are square matrices of the same order such that AB = BA,

To prove : AB^n = B^n A, n \in N

For n=1, we have AB^1 = B^1 A

Thus, the result is true for n=1.

Let the result be true for n=k,then we have AB^k = B^k A


Now, taking n=k+1 , we have AB^{k+1} = AB^k .B

AB^{k+1} = (B^kA) .B

AB^{k+1} = (B^k) .AB

AB^{k+1} = (B^k) .BA

AB^{k+1} = (B^k.B) .A

AB^{k+1} = (B^{k+1}) .A

Thus, the result is true for n=k+1.

Hence, we have AB^n = B^n A, n \in N.

To prove: (AB)^n = A^n B^n

For n=1, we have (AB)^1 = A^1 B^1

Thus, the result is true for n=1.

Let the result be true for n=k,then we have (AB)^k = A^k B^k

Now, taking n=k+1 , we have (AB)^{k+1} = (A B)^k.(AB)

(AB)^{k+1} = A^k B^k.(AB)

(AB)^{k+1} = A^{K}( B^kA)B

(AB)^{k+1} = A^{K}( AB^k)B

(AB)^{k+1} = (A^{K}A)(B^kB)

(AB)^{k+1} = (A^{k+1})(B^{k+1})

Thus, the result is true for n=k+1.

Hence, we have AB^n = B^n A and (AB)^n = A^n B^nfor all n \in N.

Question 13 Choose the correct answer in the following questions:

If A = \begin{bmatrix} \alpha &\beta\\ \gamma &-\alpha \end{bmatrix} is such that A^2 = I

(A) 1 + \alpha^2 + \beta \gamma = 0

(B) 1 - \alpha^2 + \beta \gamma = 0

(C) 1 - \alpha^2 - \beta \gamma = 0

(D) 1 + \alpha^2 - \beta \gamma = 0

Answer:

A = \begin{bmatrix} \alpha &\beta\\ \gamma &-\alpha \end{bmatrix}

A^2 = I

\begin{bmatrix} \alpha &\beta\\ \gamma &-\alpha \end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix} \alpha &\beta\\ \gamma &-\alpha \end{bmatrix}= \begin{bmatrix} 1 &0\\0&1 \end{bmatrix}

\begin{bmatrix} \alpha^{2} +\beta \gamma&\alpha \beta-\alpha \beta\\\alpha \gamma-\alpha \gamma&\beta \gamma+\alpha^{2} \end{bmatrix}= \begin{bmatrix} 1 &0\\0&1 \end{bmatrix}

\begin{bmatrix} \alpha^{2} +\beta \gamma&0\\0&\beta \gamma+\alpha^{2} \end{bmatrix}= \begin{bmatrix} 1 &0\\0&1 \end{bmatrix}

Thus we obtained that

\alpha^{2} +\beta \gamma=1

\Rightarrow 1-\alpha^{2} -\beta \gamma=0

Option C is correct.

Question 14. If the matrix A is both symmetric and skew-symmetric, then

(A) A is a diagonal matrix
(B) A is a zero matrix
(C) A is a square matrix
(D) None of these

Answer:

If the matrix A is both symmetric and skew-symmetric, then

A'=A and A'=-A

A'=A'

\Rightarrow \, \, \, \, \, \, \, A=-A

\Rightarrow \, \, \, \, \, \, \, A+A=0

\Rightarrow \, \, \, \, \, \, \, 2A=0

\Rightarrow \, \, \, \, \, \, \, A=0

Hence, A is a zero matrix.

Option B is correct.

Question 15. If A is square matrix such that A^{2}=A, then (I + A)^3 - 7 A is equal to

(A) A
(B) I – A
(C) I
(D) 3A

Answer:

A is a square matrix such that A^{2}=A

(I + A)^3 - 7 A

=I^{3}+A^{3}+3I^{2}A+3IA^{2}-7A

=I+A^{2}.A+3A+3A^{2}-7A

=I+A.A+3A+3A-7A (Replace A^{2} by A)

=I+A^{2}+6A-7A

=I+A-A

=I

Hence, we have (I + A)^3 - 7 A=I

Option C is correct.

Hello Aspirant , Hope your doing great . As per your query , your eligible for JEE mains in the year of 2025 , Every candidate can appear for the JEE Main exam 6 times over three consecutive years . The JEE Main exam is held two times every year, in January and April.

Hi there,

Hope you are doing fine

Yes you are certainly eligible for giving the jee exam in the year 2025. You must pass the maths exam with at least 75% criteria as required by jee and provide the marksheet and the passing certificate while registering for the exam.


Pursuing maths as an additional subject while taking biology as your main subject does not offer any hindrance in you appearing for the jee examination. It is indeed an privilege to pursue both maths and biology as the subjects and prepare for the same.

There will be no issue in filling the form while registering for the exam as it will only require your basic details and marksheet which you can provide by attaching the marksheet of maths also. Also, a detailed roadmap is also available on the official websites on how to fill the registration form. So you can fill the form easily.


Hope this resolves your query.
