Matrices Class 12 Ex 3.1

Ex 3.1 Class 12 Maths Question 1.
In the matrix $A=left[ begin{matrix} 2 \ 35 \ sqrt { 3 } end{matrix}begin{matrix} 5 \ -2 \ 1 end{matrix}begin{matrix} 19 \ 5/2 \ -5 end{matrix}begin{matrix} -7 \ 12 \ 17 end{matrix} right]$
(i) The order of the matrix
(ii) The number of elements
(iii) Write the elements a₁₃, a₂₁, a₃₃, a₂₄, a₂₃
Solution:
(i) The matrix A has three rows and 4 columns.
The order of the matrix is 3 x 4.
(ii) There are 3 x 4 = 12 elements in the matrix A
(iii) a₁₃ = 19, a₂₁ = 35, a₃₃ = – 5, a₂₄ = 12, a₂₃ = $\ frac { 5 }{ 2 }$

Ex 3.1 Class 12 Maths Question 2.
If a matrix has 24 elements, what are the possible orders it can have? What, if it has 13 elements?
Solution:
(i) 24 = 1 x 24 = 2 x 12 = 3 x 8 = 4 x 6
Thus there are 8 matrices having 24 elements their order are (1 x 24), (24 x 1), (2 x 12), (12 x 2),(3 x 8), (8 x 3), (4 x 6), (6 x 4).
(ii) 13 = 1 x 13,
There are 2 matrices of 13 elements of order (1 x 13) and (13 x 1).

Ex 3.1 Class 12 Maths Question 3.
If a matrix has 18 elements, what are the possible orders it can have ? What, if it has 5 elements.
Solution:
We know that if a matrix is of order m × n, it has mn elements.
=> 18 = 1 x 18 = 2 x 9 = 3 x 6
Thus, all possible ordered pairs of the matrix
having 18 elements are:
(1,18), (18,1), (2,9), (9,2), (3,6), (6,3)
If it has 5 elements, then possible order are: (1,5), (5,1)

Ex 3.1 Class 12 Maths Question 4.
Construct a 2 x 2 matrix, A= [a_ij] whose elements are given by:
$(i)quad { a }_{ ij }=frac { { (i+j) }^{ 2 } }{ 2 }$
$(ii)quad { a }_{ ij }=frac { i }{ j }$
$(iii)quad { a }_{ ij }=frac { { (i+2j) }^{ 2 } }{ 2 }$
Solution:
$A={ left[ { a }_{ ij } right] }_{ 2times 2 }=begin{bmatrix} { a }_{ 11 } & { a }_{ 12 } \ { a }_{ 21 } & { a }_{ 22 } end{bmatrix}$
$(i)quad { a }_{ ij }=frac { { (i+j) }^{ 2 } }{ 2 }$

Ex 3.1 Class 12 Maths Question 6.
Find the values of x, y, z from the following equations:
$(i)begin{bmatrix} 4 & 3 \ x & 5 end{bmatrix}=begin{bmatrix} y & z \ 1 & 5 end{bmatrix}$
$(ii)begin{bmatrix} x+y & 2 \ 5+z & xy end{bmatrix}=begin{bmatrix} 6 & 2 \ 5 & 8 end{bmatrix}$
$(iii)left[ begin{matrix} begin{matrix} x+ & y+ & z end{matrix} \ begin{matrix} x & +y end{matrix} \ begin{matrix} y & +z end{matrix} end{matrix} right] =left[ begin{matrix} 9 \ 5 \ 7 end{matrix} right]$
Solution:
$(i)begin{bmatrix} 4 & 3 \ x & 5 end{bmatrix}=begin{bmatrix} y & z \ 1 & 5 end{bmatrix}$
Clearly x = 1,y = 4,z = 3
$(ii)begin{bmatrix} x+y & 2 \ 5+z & xy end{bmatrix}=begin{bmatrix} 6 & 2 \ 5 & 8 end{bmatrix}$
Now 5 + z = 5 => z = 0
Now x + y = 6 and xy = 8
∴ y = 6 – x and x(6 – x) = 8
6x – x² = 8
x² – 6x + 8 = 0
(x – 4)(x – 2) = 0
=>x = 2,4
When x = 2, y = 6 – 2 = 4
and when x = 4,y = 6 – 4 = 2
Hence x = 2,y = 4,z = 0 or x = 4,y = 2,z = 0.
(iii) Equating the corresponding elements.
=> x+y+z=9 …..(i)
x+z = 5 …(ii)
y+ z = 7 …(iii)
Adding eqs. (ii) & (iii)
x + y + 2z = 12
=> (x+y+z) + z = 12,
9+z = 12 (from equ (i))
z = 3
x + z = 5
=>x + 3 = 5 => x = 2
and y+z = 7
=>y+3 = 7
=> y = 4
=> x = 2, y = 4 and z = 3

Ex 3.1 Class 12 Maths Question 7.
Find the values of a,b,c and d from the equation:
$begin{bmatrix} a-b & 2a+c \ 2a-b & 3c+d end{bmatrix}=begin{bmatrix} -1 & 5 \ 0 & 13 end{bmatrix}$
Solution:
$begin{bmatrix} a-b & 2a+c \ 2a-b & 3c+d end{bmatrix}=begin{bmatrix} -1 & 5 \ 0 & 13 end{bmatrix}$

(b) Not possible to find
(c) $y=7,x=frac { -2 }{ 3 }$

Solution:
$begin{bmatrix} 3x+7 & 5 \ y+1 & 2-3x end{bmatrix},begin{bmatrix} 0 & y-2 \ 8 & 4 end{bmatrix}$
(a) $x=frac { -1 }{ 3 } ,y=7$

$3begin{bmatrix} x & quad y \ z & quad w end{bmatrix}=begin{bmatrix} x & quad 6 \ -1 & quad 2w end{bmatrix}+begin{bmatrix} 4 & quad x+y \ z+w & 3 end{bmatrix}$
find the values of x,y,z and w.
Solution:
$3begin{bmatrix} x & quad y \ z & quad w end{bmatrix}=begin{bmatrix} x & quad 6 \ -1 & quad 2w end{bmatrix}+begin{bmatrix} 4 & quad x+y \ z+w & 3 end{bmatrix}$
=> $begin{bmatrix} 3x & quad 3y \ 3z & quad 3w end{bmatrix}=begin{bmatrix} x+4 & quad 6+x+y \ -1+z+w & quad 2w+3 end{bmatrix}$
=> 3x = x + 4 => x = 2
and 3y = 6 + x + y => y = 4
Also, 3w = 2w + 3 => w = 3
Again, 3z = – 1 + z + w
=> 2z = – 1 + 3
=> 2z = 2
=> z = 1
Hence x = 2 ,y = 4, z = 1, w = 3.

NCERT Solutions for Class 12 Maths Chapter 3 Matrices Ex 3.2 Q20.1

Assuming X, Y, Z, W and P are the matrices of order 2 x n, 3 x k, 2 x p, n x 3 and p x k respectively. Choose the correct answer in Question 21 and 22.

Ex 3.2 Class 12 Maths Question 21.
The restrictions on n, k and p so that PY + WY will be defined are
(a) k = 3 ,p = n
(b) k is arbitrary,p = 2
(c) pis arbitrary, k = 3
(d) k = 2,p = 3
Solution:
Given : x_2xn, y_3xn, z_2xp, w_nx3,P_pxk
Now py +wy = P_pxk x y_3+k x w_nx3 x y_3xk
Clearly, k = 3 and p = n
Hence, option (a) is correct p x 2.

Ex 3.2 Class 12 Maths Question 22.
If n = p, then the order of the matrix 7X – 5Z is:
(a) p x 2
(b) 2 x n
(c) n x 3
(d) p x n.
Solution:
7X – 5Z = 7X_2xn – 5X_2xp
∴ We can add two matrices if their order is same n = P
∴ Order of 7X – 5Z is 2 x n.
Hence, option (b) is correct 2 x n.

If A, B are symmetric matrices of same order then AB-BA is a
(a) Skew – symmetric matrix
(b) Symmetric matrix
(c) Zero matrix
(d) Identity matrix
