Section – 1: Matrix Test (15 questions in 10 minutes)
Directions for questions 1-5: Answer the questions on the basis of transformations made on the given
matrix.

Condition A: The transformations are made individually. For example transformation 2 will not be
made on result on transformation 1.

COLUMN 1 COLUMN 2 COLUMN 3 COLUMN 4

ROW 1 1 1 1 1

ROW 2 2 4 8 16

ROW 3 3 9 27 81

ROW 4 4 16 64 256

Transformation 1: Column 2 is interchanged with column 4 and then row 3 is interchanged with Row 4.

with Row 1.

4. After transformation 3 what will be the element in Row 3 and Column 1?

a) 1 b) 16 c) 81 d) 256

5. If transformation 1 is performed after performing transformation 3 i.e. 1 is performed on the
