Wired Faculty App

A = open square brackets table row 1 2 2 row 2 1 cell negative 2 end cell row straight a 2 straight b end table close square brackets is a matrix satisfying the equation AAT = 9I, Where I is 3 x 3 identity matrix, then the ordered pair (a,b) is equal to

  • (2,-1)

  • (-2,1)

  • (2,1)

  • (-2,-1)

Solution

D.

(-2,-1)

Given, 
WiredFaculty.
It is given that,
WiredFaculty
On comparing we get,
a+ 4 +2b = 0
a+ 2b = -4   ... (i)
2a + 2-2b = 0
a-b= -1    ... (ii)
a2 + 4 +b2 = 9  ... (iii)
On solving eqs. (i) and (ii) we get
a = - 2, b = - 1
Hence, (a,b) ≡ (-2,-1)

Consider the system of linear equation
x1 + 2x2 + x3 = 3
2x1 + 3x2 + x3 = 3
3x1 + 5x2 + 2x3 = 1
The system has

  • infinite number of solutions

  • exactly 3 solutions

  • a unique solution

  • no solution

Solution

D.

no solution

Subtracting the Eq. (ii) – Eq. (i)
We get x1 + x2 = 0
Subtract equations
Eq. (iii) – 2 × eq. (ii)
x1 + x2 = 5

Therefore, no solutions

If A = open square brackets table row cell 5 straight a end cell cell negative straight b end cell row 3 2 end table close square brackets and A adj A = AAT, then 5a +b is equal to

  • -1

  • 5

  • 4

  • 5

Solution

B.

5

Given, A =open square brackets table row cell 5 straight a end cell cell negative straight b end cell row 3 2 end table close square brackets and A adj A = AAT, Clearly, A (adj A) = |A|In|
WiredFaculty
Now, substituting the value of b in Eq. (iii) we get 
5a = 2
Hence, 5a + b = 2 +3 = 5

If A is a 3x3 non- singular matrix such that AAT = ATA, then BBT is equal to

  • l +B
  • l

  • B-1

  • (B-1)T

Solution

B.

l

If A is non - singular matrix then |A| ≠0
AAT = ATA and B = A-1AT
BBT = (A-1AT)(A-1AT)T
= A-1ATA(A-1)T       [∵ (AB)T= BTAT]
=A-1AAT(A-1)T        [∵ AAT = ATA]
=AT(A-1)T              [ ∵A-1A = l]
=A-1A)T                 [∵ (AB)T = BTAT]
lT = l
