COMMON FOR B.A & B.Sc
(w.e.f. 2015-16 admitted batch)
Time: 3 Hours Maximum Marks: 75
SECTION-A
Answer any FIVE questions. Each question carries FIVE marks. 5 x 5 = 25 Marks
1) Let p, q, r be the fixed elements of a field F. Show that the set W of all triads (x, y, z) of elements
of F, such that px qy rz 0 is a vector subspace of V3 (F).
2) Express the vector α = (1, -2, 5) as a linear combination of the vectors 𝑒1 = (1, 1, 1), 𝑒2 = (1, 2, 3)
and 𝑒3 = (2, -1, 1).
3) If α , β , γ are L.I vectors of the vector space V(R) then show that α + β , β + γ , γ + α are also L.I
vectors.
4) Describe explicitly the linear transformation T: R2 R2 such that T (1, 2) = (3, 0), and T (2, 1) =
(1,2).
5) Let U(F) and V(F) be two vector spaces and T : U F V F be a linear transformation.
Prove that the range set R(T) is a subspace of V(F).
