1. State, whether the following statements are true or false. If false, give a reason.

(i) If A and B are two matrices of orders 3 x 2 and 2 x 3 respectively; then their sum A + B is possible.

(ii) The matrices A2 x 3 and B2 x 3 are conformable for subtraction.

(iii) Transpose of a 2 x 1 matrix is a 2 x 1 matrix.

(iv) Transpose of a square matrix is a square matrix.

(v) A column matrix has many columns and one row.

Solution:

(i) False.

The sum of matrices A + B is possible only when the order of both the matrices A and B are same.

(ii) True

(iii) False

Transpose of a 2 x 1 matrix is a 1 x 2 matrix.

(iv) True

(v) False

A column matrix has only one column and many rows.

2. Given: Selina Solutions Concise Class 10 Maths Chapter 9 ex. 9(A) - 1, find x, y and z.

Solution:

If two matrices are said to be equal, then their corresponding elements are also equal.

Therefore,

x = 3,

y + 2 = 1 so, y = -1

z – 1 = 2 so, z = 3

3. Solve for a, b and c if

(i) Selina Solutions Concise Class 10 Maths Chapter 9 ex. 9(A) - 2

(ii) Selina Solutions Concise Class 10 Maths Chapter 9 ex. 9(A) - 3

Solution:

If two matrices are said to be equal, then their corresponding elements are also equal.

Then,

(i) a + 5 = 2 ⇒ a = -3

-4 = b + 4 ⇒ b = -8

2 = c – 1 ⇒ c = 3

(ii) a = 3

a – b = -1

⇒ b = a + 1 = 4

b + c = 2

⇒ c = 2 – b = 2 – 4 = -2

4. If A = [8 -3] and B = [4 -5]; find:

(i) A + B (ii) B – A

Solution:

(i) A + B = [8 -3] + [4 -5] = [8+4 -3-5] = [12 -8]

(ii) B – A = [4 -5] – [8 -3] = [4-8 -5-(-3)] = [-4 -2]

5. If A=Selina Solutions Concise Class 10 Maths Chapter 9 ex. 9(A) - 4, B = Selina Solutions Concise Class 10 Maths Chapter 9 ex. 9(A) - 5 and C = Selina Solutions Concise Class 10 Maths Chapter 9 ex. 9(A) - 6; find:

(i) B + C (ii) A – C

(iii) A + B – C (iv) A – B +C

Solution:

(i)B + C = Selina Solutions Concise Class 10 Maths Chapter 9 ex. 9(A) - 7

(ii)A – C = Selina Solutions Concise Class 10 Maths Chapter 9 ex. 9(A) - 8

(iii) Selina Solutions Concise Class 10 Maths Chapter 9 ex. 9(A) - 9

(iv) Selina Solutions Concise Class 10 Maths Chapter 9 ex. 9(A) - 10
