Adjoint and inverse of a matrix exercise multiple choice questions question

Answer:

(c) BA = CA
Given: A is an invertible matrix of order 3
Hints: A inverse is possible only when $\left | A \right |\neq 0$
Solution:
$\left | adj A \right | = \left | A \right |^{2}$ $\left [ \therefore \left | adj A \right | = \left | A \right |^{n-1} \right ]$
∴ Option A is correct
Now option B,
We know that in of invertible matrix
$\left ( A^{-1} \right )^{-1}=A$
∴ Option B is also correct
Now option D
$\left ( AB \right )=B^{-1}A^{-1}$ (∴ A & B two invertible matrices of the same order)
Now, option C
B A = C A
⇒B=C
But it is given B ≠ C. Hence Option C is not true.

Adjoint and inverse of a matrix exercise multiple choice questions question 3

Answer:

Answer: option (d) none of these
Given: $A=\left[\begin{array}{ll} 3 & 4 \\ 2 & 4 \end{array}\right] \& B=\left[\begin{array}{cc} -2 & -2 \\ 0 & -1 \end{array}\right]$
Hint: add the matrices A and B then find the inverse
Solution:
$\begin{aligned} &A+B=\left[\begin{array}{ll} 3 & 4 \\ 2 & 4 \end{array}\right]+\left[\begin{array}{cc} -2 & -2 \\ 0 & -1 \end{array}\right] \\ &=\left[\begin{array}{ll} 1 & 2 \\ 2 & 3 \end{array}\right] \\ &|A+B|=3-4=-1 \end{aligned}$
Now, $(A+B)^{-1}=\frac{\operatorname{adj}(A+B)}{|A+B|}$

$\begin{aligned} &C_{11}=(-1)^{1+1} 3=3 \\ &C_{12}=(-1)^{1+2} 2=-2 \\ &C_{21}=(-1)^{2+1} 2=-2 \\ &C_{22}=(-1)^{2+2} 1=1 \\ &\operatorname{Adj}(A+B)=\left[\begin{array}{cc} 3 & -2 \\ -2 & 1 \end{array}\right]^{T}=\left[\begin{array}{cc} 3 & -2 \\ -2 & 1 \end{array}\right] \end{aligned}$
Hence, $(A+B)^{-1}=\frac{\operatorname{adj}(A+B)}{|A+B|}$
$\begin{aligned} &=\frac{1}{-1}\left[\begin{array}{cc} 3 & -2 \\ -2 & 1 \end{array}\right] \\ &=-1\left[\begin{array}{cc} 3 & -2 \\ -2 & 1 \end{array}\right] \\ &=\left[\begin{array}{cc} -3 & 2 \\ 2 & -1 \end{array}\right] \end{aligned}$

We can clearly see that $(A+B)^{-1}$ exists. So, option (c) is incorrect.

Now we will check the other options.
$\begin{aligned} &\mathrm{A}^{-1}=\frac{1}{4}\left[\begin{array}{cc} 4 & -2 \\ -4 & 3 \end{array}\right]^{T}=\frac{1}{4}\left[\begin{array}{cc} 4 & -4 \\ -2 & 3 \end{array}\right] \\ &\mathrm{B}^{-1}=\frac{1}{2}\left[\begin{array}{cc} -1 & 0 \\ 2 & -2 \end{array}\right]^{T}=\frac{1}{2}\left[\begin{array}{cc} -1 & 2 \\ 0 & -2 \end{array}\right] \\ &\mathrm{A}^{-1}+\mathrm{B}^{-1}=\frac{1}{4}\left[\begin{array}{cc} 4 & -2 \\ -4 & 3 \end{array}\right]+\frac{1}{2}\left[\begin{array}{cc} -1 & 2 \\ 0 & -2 \end{array}\right] \\ &=\left[\begin{array}{cc} 1 & -\frac{1}{2} \\ -1 & \frac{3}{4} \end{array}\right]+\left[\begin{array}{rc} -\frac{1}{2} & 0 \\ 1 & -1 \end{array}\right] \\ &=\left[\begin{array}{cc} \frac{1}{2} & \frac{-1}{2} \\ 0 & -\frac{1}{4} \end{array}\right] \\ &\Rightarrow(A+B)^{-1} \neq \mathrm{A}^{-1}+\mathrm{B}^{-1} \end{aligned}$

This shows option (b) is incorrect.

It is not skew symmetric matrix and for this we will Show $\left ( \left ( A+B \right )^{-1} \right )^{T}\neq -\left ( A+B \right )^{-1}$
From the above calculation
$\begin{aligned} &\text { L.H.S }=\left((A+B)^{-1}\right)^{T}=\left[\begin{array}{cc} -3 & 2 \\ 2 & -1 \end{array}\right]^{T}=\left[\begin{array}{cc} -3 & 2 \\ 2 & -1 \end{array}\right] \\ &\text { R.H.S }=-(A+B)^{-1}=-\left[\begin{array}{cc} -3 & 2 \\ 2 & -1 \end{array}\right]=\left[\begin{array}{cc} 3 & -2 \\ -2 & 1 \end{array}\right] \\ &\text { L.H.S } \neq \text { R.H.S } \end{aligned}$

Hence option (d) is correct.

$\text { (b) }\left[\begin{array}{cc} d & -b \\ -c & a \end{array}\right]$
Given: $s=\left[\begin{array}{cc} a & b \\ c & d \end{array}\right]$
Hint: find adjoint S by finding cofactors and transposing it.
Solution :
$\begin{aligned} &S=\left[\begin{array}{ll} a & b \\ c & d \end{array}\right] \\ &C_{11}=(-1)^{1+1} d=d \\ &C_{12}=(-1)^{1+2} c=-c \\ &C_{21}=(-1)^{2+1} b=-b \\ &C_{22}=(-1)^{2+2} a=a \\ &\text { Adj } S=\left[\begin{array}{cc} d & -c \\ -b & a \end{array}\right]^{T}=\left[\begin{array}{cc} d & -b \\ -c & a \end{array}\right] \end{aligned}$

Adjoint and inverse of a matrix exercise multiple choice questions question 5

Answer:

Option (b) Singular
Given: A is a singular matrix
Hint: $\left | A \right |=0$ when matrix is singular
Solution:
We know that
$\begin{aligned} &A(a d j A)=|A| \times 1=0 \times 1=0 \\ &\Rightarrow A(\operatorname{adj} A)=0 \end{aligned}$
Hence, matrix is singular then adjoint is also singular. So, option b is correct

Answer:

option (a) AB is non-singular
Given: A & B are non-singular matrix
Hint: A & B are singular matrices only when the$\left | A \right |\& \left | B \right |$ is equal to Zero
Solution:
If A & B are non-singular matrices of order nxn

$\begin{aligned} &\therefore|\mathrm{A}| \neq 0 \text { and }|\mathrm{B}| \neq 0 \\ &|\mathrm{AB}|=|\mathrm{A}||\mathrm{B}| \\ &\Rightarrow \therefore|\mathrm{AB}| \neq 0 \end{aligned}$
∴ AB is non-singular
Hence option (a) is correct.

: option (c) a⁶
Given: $A=\left[\begin{array}{lll} a & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & a & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & a \end{array}\right]$
Hint: Find $\left | adj A \right |$ , find adj A
Solution:
$\begin{aligned} &A=\left[\begin{array}{lll} a & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & a & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & a \end{array}\right]\\ &\operatorname{Adj} A=\left[\begin{array}{ccc} a^{2} & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & a^{2} & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & a^{2} \end{array}\right]^{T}\\ &=\left[\begin{array}{ccc} a^{2} & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & a^{2} & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & a^{2} \end{array}\right]\\ &|\operatorname{adjA}|=a^{2}\left(a^{4}-0\right)=a^{2} \cdot a^{4}=a^{6} \end{aligned}$
Hence, option c is correct.

Given: $A= \begin{bmatrix} 1& 2 & -1 \\ -1& 1& 2\\ 2& -1& 1 \end{bmatrix}$
Hint: calculate adjoint of A and put the value in it.
Solution:
$\begin{aligned} &A=\left[\begin{array}{ccc} 1 & 2 & -1 \\ -1 & 1 & 2 \\ 2 & -1 & 1 \end{array}\right] \\ &|A|=1(1+2)-2(-1-4)-1(1-2) \\ &=3+10+1=14 \\ &|A| \neq 0 \\ &\Rightarrow \operatorname{adj}(\operatorname{adj} A)=|A|^{(n-1)^{2}} \mid \end{aligned}$
Where n=3 because of 3×3 matrices
$\begin{aligned} &=|A|^{(3-1)^{2}} \\ &=|A|^{2^{2}} \\ &=|A|^{4} \\ &=14^{4} \quad(\therefore|\mathrm{A}|=14) \\ \end{aligned}$
Hence, option (a) is correct.

$A (adj A) = 10 I$
We know that
$A^{-1}=\frac{1}{|\mathrm{~A}|}(\operatorname{adj} \mathrm{A})$
Pre- multiplying by ‘A’
$\begin{aligned} &A A^{-1}=\frac{A(\operatorname{adjA})}{|A|} \\ &I=\frac{A(\operatorname{adjA})}{|A|} \\ &A(\operatorname{adj} A)=|A|I \\ &\Rightarrow|A|=10 \end{aligned}$

Solution:
$\begin{aligned} &\mathrm{I}-\mathrm{A}^{5}=(\mathrm{I}-\mathrm{A})\left(\mathrm{I}+\mathrm{A}+\mathrm{A}^{2}+\mathrm{A}^{3}+\mathrm{A}^{4}\right) \\ &\mathrm{I}=(\mathrm{I}-\mathrm{A})\left(\mathrm{I}+\mathrm{A}+\mathrm{A}^{2}+\mathrm{A}^{3}+\mathrm{A}^{4}\right) \quad\left(\therefore \mathrm{A}^{5}=0\right) \\ &\frac{I}{(I-A)}=\left(\mathrm{I}+\mathrm{A}+\mathrm{A}^{2}+\mathrm{A}^{3}+\mathrm{A}^{4}\right) \\ &(\mathrm{I}-\mathrm{A})^{-1}=\left(\mathrm{I}+\mathrm{A}+\mathrm{A}^{2}+\mathrm{A}^{3}+\mathrm{A}^{4}\right) \end{aligned}$
Hence, option (d) is correct
