Hence M50 = 349 M

3. Text Solution:
Given 𝐴2 = 𝐴

Consider,(𝐼 + 𝐴)3 − 7𝐴 = 𝐼 3 + 𝐴3 + 3𝐼 2 𝐴 + 3𝐼𝐴2 − 7𝐴

= 𝐼 + 𝐴2 + 3𝐴 + 3𝐴 − 7𝐴

= 𝐼 + 7𝐴 − 7𝐴

⇒ (𝐼 + 𝐴)3 − 7𝐴 = 𝐼

Hence, (𝐼 + 𝐴)3 − 7𝐴 is equal to 𝐼

5. Text Solution:
Correct option is C. A and B are square matrices of the same order
We know that "Addition of matrices is possible only when they are of same order"
CLASS-12 Chapter-Matrices ( Assignment-01)
Let A be a matrix of order m × n and B be a matrix of order p × q
Since, A + B is defined. So, order of A and B must be same.
⇒ m = p and n = q
Also, product of two matrices A, B is possible if number of columns in A is same as
number of rows in B.
⇒n=p⇒m=n
∴ A and B are square matrices of same order.
Video Solution:

6. Text Solution:
The correct option is B
A = AT
We have discussed that a square matrix A is called as symmetric matrix if the matrix is
equal to its transpose.
1 2
Eg. Lets take a 2 × 2 matrix [ ]
2 2
1 2
If we take its transpose the transpose matrix will be [ ] which is equal to the original
2 2
matrix itself.
So these type of matrices which remain same after taking the transpose are called as
symmetric matrices.

value of y, on putting in eqution (1).
x(6 - x) = 8
6x - x² = 8
x² - 6x + 8 = 0
x² - 2x - 4x + 8 = 0
x(x - 2) - 4(x - 2) = 0
(x - 2) (x - 4) = 0
x = 2, x = 4

8. Text Solution:
CLASS-12 Chapter-Matrices ( Assignment-01)
number of chemistry books = 120
number of physics books = 96
number of economics books = 120
Selling price of one chemistry book = Rs 80
Selling price of one physics book = Rs 60
Selling price of one economics book = Rs 40
80
Total amount = [120 96 120] [60]

= 120 × 80 + 96 × 60 + 120 × 40
= 20160

10. Text Solution:

𝛼 0 1 0
Given: 𝐴 = [ ], 𝐵 = [ ]

𝛼 0 𝛼 0 2
⇒ 𝐴2 = [ ][ ] = [ 𝛼 0]

Also, given A2= B
2
⇒ [ 𝛼 0] = [1 0
]
𝛼+1 1 5 1
⇒ 𝛼 2 = 1 and 𝛼 + 1 = 5
Which is not possible at the same time.
∴ No real values of α exists.

11. Text Solution:

𝐴𝐵 + 𝐵𝐴 is symmetric matrix

12. Text Solution:

Given 𝐴2 − 𝐴 + 𝐼 = 0
⇒ 𝐼 = 𝐴 − 𝐴2
Multiplying on B.S. by A–1
∴ 𝐼𝐴−1 = 𝐴𝐴−1 − 𝐴2 ⋅ 𝐴−1 ⇒ 𝐴−1 = 𝐼 − 𝐴

We have, matrix 𝐴 = [−1 0 3 ] is a Skew-Symmetric Matrix.

For a skew-symmetric matrix⇔ 𝐴𝑇 = −𝐴.
First, let us find 𝐴𝑇 .

Since for a skew-symmetric matrix 𝐴 = −𝐴.
So,
0 −1 𝑥 0 −1 2
[1 0 −3] = [ 1 0 −3]
−2 3 0 −𝑥 3 0
By comparing the corresponding elements of the two matrices,
we get, the value of 𝑥 = 2.

15. Text Solution:

The number of elements of a matrix is given by the numeric value of order or the product
of row number and column number.
The number of element of matrix is 7
7 can be arranged as the product of,
7=7×1
7=1×7
So the order of the matrix can be 1 × 7 or 7 × 1.

16. Text Solution:

Let 𝐴 be any square matrix. Then we can say,

1 1
𝐴 = (𝐴 + 𝐴′ ) + (𝐴 − 𝐴′ )
2 2
𝐴=𝑀+𝑁
1 1
Where 𝑀 = (𝐴 + 𝐴′ ) and 𝑁 = (𝐴 − 𝐴′ ).
2 2
CLASS-12 Chapter-Matrices ( Assignment-01)
1 ′
Now, 𝑀′ = { (𝐴 + 𝐴′ )}
2
1
⇒ 𝑀′ = (𝐴 + 𝐴′ ) [ as (𝑘𝐴)′ = 𝑘𝐴′ ]
2
1
⇒ 𝑀′ = {𝐴′ + (𝐴′ )} [ as (𝐴 + 𝐵)′ = 𝐴′ + 𝐵′ ]
2
1
⇒ 𝑀′ = (𝐴′ + 𝐴) [as(𝐴′ )′ = 𝐴]
2
1
⇒ 𝑀′ = (𝐴 + 𝐴′ )
2
′
⇒𝑀 =𝑀
So, 𝑀 is symmetric.
1 ′
Now, 𝑁 ′ = { (𝐴 − 𝐴′ )}
2
1
⇒ 𝑁 = (𝐴 −)′
′ [as(𝑘𝐴)′ = 𝑘𝐴′ ]
2
1
⇒ 𝑁 ′ = {𝐴′ − (𝐴′ )′ } [as(𝐴 − 𝐵)′ = 𝐴′ − 𝐵′ ]
2
1
⇒ 𝑁 ′ = (𝐴′ − 𝐴) [as(𝐴′ )′ = 𝐴]
2
1
⇒ 𝑁 ′ = − (𝐴′ − 𝐴)
2
′
⇒ 𝑁 = −𝑁
So, 𝑁 is skew symmetric.
Thus, 𝐴 = 𝑀 + 𝑁, where 𝑀 is symmetric and 𝑁 is skew symmetric.
Hence proved.
