    Answer:$a_{22}+b_{21}= 1$
    Given:
    $A= \left [ a_{ij} \right ]= \begin{bmatrix} 2 & 3 &-5 \\ 1& 4 & 9 \\ 0& 7 &-2 \end{bmatrix}$ and $B= \left [ b_{ij} \right ]= \begin{bmatrix} 2 &-1 \\ -3& 4\\ 1& 2 \end{bmatrix}$
    Here we have to find out the values of $a_{22}+b_{21}$
    Hint:
    Simply we select the elements in the matrix which elements required and simplify
    Solution: We know that
    $A= \left [ a_{ij} \right ]= \begin{bmatrix} a_{11} &a_{12} &a_{13} \\ a_{21} & a_{22} & a_{23}\\ a_{31}& a_{32} & a_{33} \end{bmatrix}$ $\cdot \cdot \cdot \left ( i \right )$
    $B= \left [ b_{ij} \right ]= \begin{bmatrix} b_{11} &b_{12} \\ a_{21} & a_{22} \\ a_{31}& a_{32} \end{bmatrix}$ $\cdot \cdot \cdot \left ( ii \right )$
    Also given that
    $A= \left [ a_{ij} \right ]= \begin{bmatrix} 2 & 3 &-5 \\ 1& 4 & 9 \\ 0& 7 &-2 \end{bmatrix}$ and $B= \left [ b_{ij} \right ]= \begin{bmatrix} 2 &-1 \\ -3& 4\\ 1& 2 \end{bmatrix}$
    Now comparing with eqn (i) and (ii) we have,
    $a_{22}= 4$, $b_{21}= -3$
    Hence $a_{22}+b_{21}= 4+\left ( -3 \right )= 1$
    This is the required answer.

    $A= \left [ a_{ij} \right ]= \begin{bmatrix} 2 & 3 &-5 \\ 1& 4 & 9 \\ 0& 7 &-2 \end{bmatrix}$ and $B= \left [ b_{ij} \right ]= \begin{bmatrix} 2 &-1 \\ -3& 4\\ 1& 2 \end{bmatrix}$
    Now comparing with eqn(i) and (ii) we have,
    $a_{11}= 2$ $a_{22}= 4$
    $b_{11}= 2$ $b_{22}= 4$
    Hence, $a_{11}b_{11}+a_{22}b_{22}= 2\times 2+4\times 4$
    $= 4+16$
    $a_{11}b_{11}+a_{22}b_{22}= 20$

    Here we have to determine the order of matrices $R_{1}$ and $C_{2}$
    Hint: We have to write the order along row and again along column
    Solution: Here $A$ be a matrix of order $3\times 4$
    So, $A= \left [ a_{ij} \right ]_{3\times 4}$
    $R_{1}$= first row of $A= \begin{bmatrix} a_{11} & a_{12} & a_{13} & a_{14} \end{bmatrix}$
    So, order of Matrix $R_{1}= 1\times 4$
    Again, $C_{2}$ = second column of
    $A= \begin{bmatrix} a_{12}\\ a_{22}\\ a_{32} \end{bmatrix}$
    Therefore, order of $C_{2}= 3\times 1$ .

    Answer:$a= 0,b=5,x=2$ and $y= -1$
    Given: Here given that

    We have to find the value of $a,b,x$ and $y$
    Hint: If two matrices are equal then the elements of each matrix are also equal.
    Solution: Given that two matrices are equal
    $\therefore$ By equating them, we get

    $x-2y$ ……(ii)
    $a+b= 5$ ……. (iii)
    $2a-b= -5$ …….. (iv)
    Multiplying equation (ii) by 2 and adding to equation (i), we get
    $\! \! \! \! \! \! \! \! 3x+4y+2x-4y= 2+8\\\Rightarrow 5x= 10\\\Rightarrow x= 2$
    Now substituting the value of $x$ in eqn (i), we get

    Now by adding eqn(iii) and eqn (iv)
    $a+b+2a-b=5+\left ( -5 \right )$
    $\Rightarrow 3a= 5-5$
    $\Rightarrow a= 0$

    $a-2b=-3$ ……(ii)
    $5c-d=11$ ……(iii)
    and $4c+3d=24$ ……(iv)
    Multiplying eqn(i) by 2 and adding to eqn(ii) we get
    $4a+2b+a-2b=8-3$
    $\Rightarrow 5a=5$
    $\Rightarrow a=1$
    Now, substituting the value of a in eqn(i)
    $2\times 1+b=4$
    $\Rightarrow b=4-2$
    $\Rightarrow b=2$
    Multiplying eqn(iii) by 3 and adding to eqn(iv) we get
    $15c-3d+4c+3d=33+24\\\\\Rightarrow 19c=57\\\\\Rightarrow c=3$
    Now, substituting the value of c in eqn(iv) we get
    $4\times 3+3d=24\\\\\Rightarrow 12+3d=24\\\\\Rightarrow 3d=24-12\\\\\Rightarrow d=\frac{12}{3}\\\\\Rightarrow d=4$

    $2z=6$ ….. (iii)
    $18z=6y$ ….. (iv)
    $y+2=x$ ….. (v)

    Since corresponding entries of equal matrices are equal, So
    $x=3$ ….. (i)
    $3x-y=2$ ….. (ii)
    $2x+z=4$ ….. (iii)
    $3y-w=7$ ….. (iv)
    Put the value of $x=3$ in eqn(ii) we get
    $3\times 3-y=2\\\Rightarrow y=9-2\\\Rightarrow y=7$
    Put the value of $y=7$ in eqn(iv) we get
    $3y-w=7\\\Rightarrow 3\times 7-w=7\\\Rightarrow w=21-7\\\Rightarrow w=14$
    Put the value of $x=3$ in eqn(iii) we get
    $2x+z=4\\\Rightarrow 2\times 3+z=4\\\Rightarrow z=4-6\\\Rightarrow z=-2$

    Solution: Here $\begin{bmatrix} x-y & z \\ 2x-y & w \end{bmatrix}$$= \begin{bmatrix} -1 &4\\ 0 & 5 \end{bmatrix}$
    Since corresponding entries of equal matrices are equal, So
    $x-y=-1$ ….. (i)
    $z=4$ ….. (ii)
    $2x-y=0$ ….. (iii)
    $w=5$ ….. (iv)
    Solving eqn(i) and (iii), we get
    $\! \! \! \! \! \! x-y=-1\\2x-y=0\\-x=-1$
    Putting the value of $x=1$ in eqn (i), we get
    $1-y=-1\\\Rightarrow y=1+1\\\Rightarrow y=2$
    Equation (ii) and (iv) gives the values of $z$ and $w$ respectively. So, $z=4,w=5$
    Hence, $x=1,y=2,z=4$ and $w=5$


    Algebra of Matrices Exercise 4.1 Question 14

    Answer: $x=-3,y=-5,z=2,a=-2,b=-7,c=-1$

    Here we have to find out all the values of $x,y,z,a,b,c$
    Hint: By definition of equal matrices is $A=\left [ a_{ij} \right ]_{m\times n}$ and $B=\left [ b_{ij} \right ]_{m\times n}$ are equal then
    $a_{ij}=b_{ij}$ for $i=1,2,3....m$ and $j=1,2,3....n$
    Solution: Given that $\begin{bmatrix} x+3 &z+4 & 2y-7\\ 4x+6 &a-1 &0 \\ b-3& 3b &z+2c \end{bmatrix}$ $= \begin{bmatrix} 0 &6 &3y-2 \\ 2x & -3 &2c+2 \\ 2b+4 & -21 & 0 \end{bmatrix}$
    Equating the entries, we get
    $x+3=0\\\Rightarrow x=-3$ ; $z+4=6\\\Rightarrow z=2$ ; $2y-7=3y-2\\\Rightarrow 2y-3y=-2+7\\\Rightarrow -y=+5\\\Rightarrow y=-5$
    Similarly,
    $a-1=-3$ and $z+2c=0$
    $\Rightarrow a=-3+1$ and $2+2c=0$
    $\Rightarrow a=-2$ and $c=-1$
    Lastly,
    $b-3=2b+4\\\Rightarrow b-2b=4+3\\\Rightarrow -b=7\\\Rightarrow b=-7$
    Hence, $x=-3,y=-5,z=2,a=-2,b=-7,c=-1$

    Here we have to calculate the value of $x+y$
    Hint: Here we will use equality of matrices.
    Solution: Here $\begin{bmatrix} 2x+1 &5x \\ 0 &y^{2}+1 \end{bmatrix}$$= \begin{bmatrix} x+3 &10\\ 0 & 26 \end{bmatrix}$
    The corresponding entries of equal matrices are equal, So
    $2x+1=x+3\\\Rightarrow 2x-x= 3-1\\\Rightarrow x=2$
    $y^{2}+1=26\\\Rightarrow y^{2}=26-1\\\Rightarrow y=\sqrt{25}\\\Rightarrow y=\pm 5$
    Case 1: If $x=2$ and $y=+5$
    $\Rightarrow x+y=2+5=7$
    Case 2: If $x=2$ and $y=-5$
    $\Rightarrow x+y=2+\left ( -5 \right )=-3$
    Hence $x+y=7$ or $-3$

    Answer:
    $\! \! \! \! \! \! \! \! \! x=2\: or\: 4\\y=4\: or\: 2\\z=-6\\w=4$
    Given: $\begin{bmatrix} xy &4 \\ z+6&x+y \end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix} 8 &w \\ 0& 6 \end{bmatrix}$
    Here we have to find the value of $x,y,z,w$
    Hint: Here we will use equality of matrices.
    Solution:
    $\begin{bmatrix} xy &4 \\ z+6&x+y \end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix} 8 &w \\ 0& 6 \end{bmatrix}$
    The corresponding entries of equal matrices are equal, So
    $xy=8$ ….. (i)
    $w=4$ ….. (ii)
    $z+6=0$ ….. (iii)
    $x+y=6$ ….. (iv)
    From equation (ii) and (iii) we get
    $z=-6$ and $w=4$
    From eqn (iv) we have,
    $x+y=6\Rightarrow x=6-y$
    Substituting the value of $x$ in eqn (i), we get
    $\! \! \! \! \! \! \! \! \left ( 6-y \right )y=8\\\Rightarrow y^{2}-6y+8=0\\\Rightarrow \left ( y-2 \right )\left ( y-4 \right )=0\\\Rightarrow y=2 \: or\: 4$
    Substituting the value of $y$ in eqn (i), we get
    $x=4,2$
    Hence value of $x,y,z,w$ are $4,2;2,4;-6$ and $4$ respectively


    Algebra of Matrices Exercise 4.1 Question 17 (i)

    Answer:$\left [ a \right ]_{1\times 1}$
    Given: Here we have to give an example of row matrix which is also a column matrix
    Hint:
    Solution: We know that
    Order of row matrix = $1\times n$
    Order of column matrix = $m\times 1$
    So, order of a row as column matrix = $1\times 1$
    Hence required matrix =$\left [ a \right ]_{1\times 1}$


    Algebra of Matrices Exercise 4.1 Question 17 (ii)

    Answer: $\begin{bmatrix} 4 & 0 & 0\\ 0 &-3 &0 \\ 0& 0 &2 \end{bmatrix}$
    Here we have to give an example of diagonal matrix which is not scalar
    Given:
    Hint: A diagonal matrix has only $a_{11}\: a_{22}\: a_{33}$ for a $3\times 3$ matrix such that $a_{11}\: a_{22}\: a_{33}$ are equal or different and all other entries zero
    Solution: We know that a diagonal matrix has only $a_{11}\: a_{22}\: a_{33}$ for a $3\times 3$ matrix such that $a_{11}\: a_{22}\: a_{33}$ are equal or different and all other entries zero. While scalar matrix has $a_{11}= a_{22}= a_{33}= m$ (say)
    So, a diagonal matrix which is not scalar must have $a_{11}\neq a_{22}\neq a_{33}$ and $a_{ij}=0$ for $i\neq j$ .
    Hence Required matrix = $\begin{bmatrix} 4 & 0 & 0\\ 0 &-3 &0 \\ 0& 0 &2 \end{bmatrix}$


    Algebra of Matrices Exercise 4.1 Question 17 (iii)

    Answer:$\begin{bmatrix} 3 & 2 &-1 \\ 0 & 4 &3 \\ 0 & 0 & -6 \end{bmatrix}$
    Here we have to create an example of triangular matrix.
    Given:
    Hint: A triangular matrix is a square matrix
    Solution: We know that a triangular matrix is a square matrix
    $A=\left [ a_{ij} \right ]$ such that$a_{ij}=0$ for $i> j$

    Hence required matrix


    Algebra of Matrices Exercise 4.1 Question 18

    Answer: $A=\begin{bmatrix} 5 &3 & 4\\ 7 &2 &3 \end{bmatrix}$
    and $B=\begin{bmatrix} 8 &7 & 6\\ 10 &5 &7 \end{bmatrix}$
    Given: Here the sales figure of two car dealers during January 2013
    Here we have to write $2\times 3$ summarizing sales data.
    Hint: Simply summarize for dealer A and dealer B
    Solution: Given data is
    For January 2013:
    $\begin{matrix} &Delux & Premium & Stadard\\ dealer A & 5 & 3& 4\\ dealerB &7 & 2 & 3 \end{matrix}$
    Hence, $A=\begin{bmatrix} Delux &Premium &Standard \\ 5& 3 & 4\\ 7 &2 &3 \end{bmatrix}$
    And For January – February:
    $\begin{matrix} & Deluxe &Premium & Stadard\\ dealerA & 8 & 7& 6\\ dealerB &10 & 5 & 7 \end{matrix}$
    Hence, $B=\begin{bmatrix} &Deluxe &Premium &Stadard \\ dealerA & 8 &7 &6 \\ dealerB & 10 &5 & 7 \end{bmatrix}$


    Algebra of Matrices Exercise 4.1 Question 19

    Answer: $A$ and $B$ are not equal for any value of$y$

    Given: $A=\begin{bmatrix} 2x+1 &2y \\ 0 & y^{2}+2 \end{bmatrix}$ and

    $B=\begin{bmatrix} x+3 &y^{2}+2 \\ 0 & -6 \end{bmatrix}$

    We have to find out the value of $x$ and $y$
    Hint: We will use equality of matrices.
    Solution: Here $A=B$
    Since equal matrix have all corresponding entries equal. So,

    $2x+1=x+3$ ….. (i)

    $2y=y^{2}+2$ ….. (ii)

    $y2-5y=-6$ ….. (iii)

    Solving equation (i), We get

    $2x+1=x+3\\\Rightarrow 2x-x=3-1\\\Rightarrow x=2$

    Solving equation (ii), We get

    $2y=y^{2}+2\\\Rightarrow y^{2}-2y+2=0\\\Rightarrow D=b^{2}-4ac$

    $\! \! \! \! \! \! \! \! \! =\left ( -2 \right )^{2}-4\left ( 1 \right )\left ( 2 \right )\\=4-8\\=-4$

    Here $D< 0$
    So, there is no real value of $y$ from equation (ii)
    Solving equation (iii), We get

    $y^{2}5y=-6\\\Rightarrow y^{2}-5y+6=0\\\left ( y-3 \right )\left ( y-2 \right )=0\\y=3\: or\: 2$

    From solution of equation (i) (ii) and (iii)
    we can say that $A$ and $B$ cannot equal for any value of$y$


    Algebra of Matrices Exercise 4.1 Question 20

    Answer:$x= 3,y= 1$
    Given:$\begin{bmatrix} x+10 & y^{2}+2y\\ 0& -4 \end{bmatrix}$$= \begin{bmatrix} 3x+4 & 3\\ 0& y^{2}-5y \end{bmatrix}$
    We have to find out the value of $x$ and $y$
    Hint: We will use equality of matrices.
    Solution: Here $\begin{bmatrix} x+10 & y^{2}+2y\\ 0& -4 \end{bmatrix}$$= \begin{bmatrix} 3x+4 & 3\\ 0& y^{2}-5y \end{bmatrix}$
    Since, corresponding entries of equal matrices are equal. So,
    $x+10=3x+4$ ….. (i)
    $y^{2}+2y= 3$ ….. (ii)
    $-4= y^{2}-5y$ ….. (iii)
    Solving equation (i), We get
    $x+10= 3x+4\\\Rightarrow 2x=6\\\Rightarrow x=3$
    Solving equation (ii), We get
    $y^{2}+2y-3=0\\\Rightarrow y+3y-y-3=0\\\Rightarrow y\left ( y+3 \right )-1\left ( y+3 \right )=0\\\Rightarrow y=1\: or\: -3$
    Solving equation (iii), We get
    $-4=y^{2}-5y\\\Rightarrow y^{2}-5y+4=0\\\Rightarrow y^{2}-4y-y+4=0\\\Rightarrow y\left ( y-1 \right )-1( \left ( y-4 \right ) =0\\\Rightarrow \left ( y-1 \right )\left ( y-4 \right )=0\\\Rightarrow y=1\: or\: 4$
    From equation (ii) and (iii)
    We have common value of $y= 1$
    So, $x= 3,y= 1$


    Algebra of Matrices Exercise 4.1 Question 21

    Answer:$A= B$
    Given:
    $A= \begin{bmatrix} a+4 &3b \\ 8 &-6 \end{bmatrix},B\begin{bmatrix} 2a+2 &b^{2}+2 \\ 8 & b^{2}-10 \end{bmatrix}$
    We have to find out the value of $a$ and $b$
    Hint: We will use equality of matrices.
    Solution:
    $A= \begin{bmatrix} a+4 &3b \\ 8 &-6 \end{bmatrix},B\begin{bmatrix} 2a+2 &b^{2}+2 \\ 8 & b^{2}-10 \end{bmatrix}$
    $\because A= B$
    Corresponding elements of two equal matrix are equal.
    $a+4= 2a+2$ ….. (i)
    $3b=b^{2}+2$ ….. (ii)
    $b^{2}-10= -6$ ….. (iii)
    Solving equation (i), We get
    $a+4=2a+2\\\Rightarrow 2a-a=4-2\\\Rightarrow a=2$
    Solving equation (ii), We get
    $b^{2}-3b+2=0\\\Rightarrow b^{2}-2b-b+2= 0\\\Rightarrow b\left ( b-2 \right )-1\left ( b-2 \right )= 0\\\Rightarrow \left ( b-1 \right )\left ( b-2 \right )= 0\\\Rightarrow = 1\: or\: 2$
    Solving equation (iii), We get
    $b^{2}-10= -6\\\Rightarrow b^{2}= -6+10\\\Rightarrow b^{2}= 4\\\Rightarrow b= \pm 2$
    Here, we have common value of $b= 2$ from equation (ii) and (iii)
    Hence, $a=2,b= 2$
