For questions 4 and 5


Statement I is called Assertion (A) and Statement II is called reason (R).
Read the given statements carefully and choose the correct answer from the four
options .
(a) Both the statements are true and Statement II is a correct explanation of I
(b) Both the statements are true and Statement II is not the correct explanation
of I .
(c) Statement I is true , Statement II is false
(d) Statement I is false , Statement II is true .
4. Let A and B be two symmetric matrices of the same order . (1)
Statement I :AB-BA is skew symmetric
Statement II: AB+BA is symmetric
Solution 4 . 𝐴′ = 𝐴; 𝐵′ = 𝐵
Now (𝐴𝐵 − 𝐵𝐴)′ = (𝐴𝐵)′ − (𝐵𝐴)′ = 𝐵′ 𝐴′ − 𝐴′ 𝐵′ = 𝐵𝐴 − 𝐴𝐵
(𝐴𝐵 − 𝐵𝐴)′ = −(𝐴𝐵 − 𝐵𝐴) ⇒ 𝐴𝐵 − 𝐵𝐴 𝑖𝑠 𝑠𝑘𝑒𝑤 𝑠𝑦𝑚𝑚𝑒𝑡𝑟𝑖𝑐
(𝐴𝐵 + 𝐵𝐴)′ = (𝐴𝐵)′ + (𝐵𝐴)′ = 𝐵′ 𝐴′ + 𝐴′ 𝐵′ = 𝐵𝐴 + 𝐴𝐵
AB+BA is symmetric
Option b

5. Suppose A and B be two square matrices of order 2 (1)

Statement I : A.adjA=|𝐴|I
Statement II: adj(AB)=adj(A).adj(B).

8. A diet is to contain 30 units of vitamin A, 40 units of vitamin B and 20 units of


vitamin C. Three types of foods 𝐹1 , 𝐹2 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝐹3 are available . One unit of food 𝐹1
contains 3 units of vitamin A, 2 units of vitamin B and 1 unit of vitamin C . One
unit of food 𝐹2 contains 1 unit of vitamin A, 2 units of vitamin B and 1 unit of
vitamin C. One unit of food 𝐹3 contains 5 units of vitamin A , 3 units of vitamin B
and 2 units of vitamin C .

Based on above information ,answer the following questions :


i) If the diet contains x units of food 𝐹1 , y units of food 𝐹2 and z units of
food 𝐹3 ,then what is the matrix equation representing the above situation
?
ii) If A is the matrix in above situation ,what is the value of |𝑎𝑑𝑗 𝐴| ?
iii) What is the values of x,y, z in this case ?
iv) What is the value of |𝐴−1 | ?
