    RD Sharma Class 12 Solutions Chapter 6 MCQ Adjoint & Inverse of Matrix - Other Exercise

    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.

    Adjoint and inverse of a matrix exercise multiple choice questions question 4

    Answer:

    $\text { (b) }\left[\begin{array}{cc} d & -b \\ -c & a \end{array}\right]$
    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

    Adjoint and inverse of a matrix exercise multiple choice questions question 6
    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.

    Answer:

    : 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.

    Answer:

    : option (a) 144
    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.

    Adjoint and inverse of a matrix exercise multiple choice questions question 9

    Answer:

    option (c) Det (A)
    Given: B is non-singular matrix and A is square matrix
    Hint: Use the property B-1B=I
    Solution:
    $\begin{aligned} &\operatorname{det}\left(B^{-1} A B\right) \\ &=\operatorname{det}\left(B^{-1} B A\right) \\ &=\operatorname{det}(I A) \quad\left(\text { since }, B^{-1} B=I\right) \\ &=\operatorname{det}(A) \end{aligned}$
    Hence, option (c) is correct.

    Solution:
    $A\left ( adj A \right )=\begin{bmatrix} 10 &0 \\ 0 & 10 \end{bmatrix}$
    $A (adj A) = 10 I$
    We know that
    $A^{-1}=\frac{1}{|\mathrm{~A}|}(\operatorname{adj} \mathrm{A})$
    Pre- multiplying by ‘A’
    $\begin{aligned} &A A^{-1}=\frac{A(\operatorname{adjA})}{|A|} \\ &I=\frac{A(\operatorname{adjA})}{|A|} \\ &A(\operatorname{adj} A)=|A|I \\ &\Rightarrow|A|=10 \end{aligned}$
    Hence option (c) is correct

    Answer:

    option (d) none of these
    Given: $A^{5}=0 \text { such that } A^{n} \neq \mathrm{I} \text { for } 1 \leq n \leq 4$
    Hint: zero matrix is that whose every element is zero
    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

    option (d)$\lambda \neq 0$
    Given: A satisfies the equation $x^{3}-5x^{2}+4x+ \lambda =0$
    Hint: since A satisfies the equation so put x = A
    Solution :
    Since A satisfies the equation ∴ $A^{3}-5A^{2}+4A+ \lambda =0$
    A-1 Exist if $\lambda \neq 0$
    since if $\lambda =0$ then the above equation gives A = 0 and in that case A-1 will not exist
