= 1


4. If  and  are real numbers and  Show that either  or

Ans. Given:

  

 

Here,   Either

 ……….(i)

Or

  

  [Expanding along first row]

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  and  and  

  and  and  ……….(ii)

Therefore, from eq. (i) and (ii), either  or


5. Solve the equation:  

Ans. Given:

  

 

Either

  ……….(i)

Or

  

 

 

 

But this is contrary as given that .

Therefore, from eq. (i),  is only the solution.


6. Prove that:  

Ans. L.H.S. =

=

=

=  

=  =  

=  =  = R.H.S.    Proved.


7. If  and B =  find  

Ans. Given:  and B =

Since,   [Reversal law] ……….(i)

Now

=  =

Therefore,  exists.

  and  and

 adj. B =  =

 

From eq. (i),

 

=


8. Let A =  verify that:

(i)    

(ii)  

Ans. Given: Matrix A =

 

  =

Therefore,  exists.

  and

and

 adj. A =  = B (say)

  =            ………(i)

 

=  =

Therefore,  exists.

  and

and

 adj. B =  =

 

=

=  ….(ii)

Now to find  (say), where

C =

=

C =

C =  =  =

Therefore,  exists.

  and

and

 adj. A =

=  ……….(iii)

Again

=

=  = A (given)

(i)

 =

[From eq. (ii) and (iii)]

Using properties of determinants in Exercises 11 to 15, prove that:

11.  

Ans. L.H.S. =  =  

=

=  

Expanding along third column,

=

=

=

=

=

=  = R.H.S.


12.  

Ans. L.H.S. =

=

=  (say) ……….(i)

Now

=

=

=

 From eq. (i), L.H.S. =  ……….(ii)

Now

=  

Expanding along third column,

=

=

=

=

=

 From eq. (i), L.H.S. =

=  = R.H.S.


13.  

Ans. L.H.S. =

=  

=

=  

=

=

=

=

=  = R.H.S.

14.  

Ans. L.H.S. =

=  

=

=

=  = 1 = R.H.S.


15.  = 0

Ans. L.H.S. =

=

=  

=

=

=  [ C2 and C3 have become identical]

= 0 = R.H.S.

16. Solve the system of the following equations: (Using matrices):

 

Ans. Putting  and  in the given equations,

  

 the matrix form of given equations is  [AX= B]

Here,   A =  X =  and B =

 

=

=

  exists and unique solution is  ……….(i)

Now    and

and

 adj. A =  =

And

 From eq. (i),

 

=

=

 

 


Choose the correct answer in Exercise 17 to 19.

17. If  are in A.P., then the determinant  is:

(A) 0  

(B) 1  

(C)     

(D)  

Ans. According to question,  ……….(i)

Let

=  

=

[From eq. (i)] = 0 [ R2 and R3 have become identical]

Therefore, option (A) is correct.

(A)

(B)  

(C)

(D)  

Ans. Given: Matrix A =

 

 

  exists and unique solution is  ……….(i)

Now    and  and

 adj. A =  =

And

=

=

=

Therefore, option (A) is correct.
