All the important questions and solutions of matrices of Class 12 available here contain stepwise solutions. The RBSE Class 12 important questions and solutions available at BYJU’S will guide the students in clearing the exams with flying colours.

Chapter 3 of RBSE Class 12 has two exercises which cover various concepts of matrices along with the required solved examples. This chapter contains questions in different patterns such as finding the order of a given matrix, finding the given matrix when a particular equation is provided to get the elements of that matrix. Also, students will learn simple arithmetic operations on matrices, namely addition, subtraction and multiplication.

RBSE Maths Chapter 3: Exercise 3.1 Textbook Important Questions and Solutions

Question 1: If

$\begin{array}{l} [\begin{array}{c} k + 4 & - 1 \\ 3 & k - 6 \end{array}] = [\begin{array}{c} a & - 1 \\ 3 & - 4 \end{array}] \end{array}$

, then find the value of a.

Solution:

Given,

\begin{array}{l} [\begin{array}{c} k + 4 & - 1 \\ 3 & k - 6 \end{array}] = [\begin{array}{c} a & - 1 \\ 3 & - 4 \end{array}] \end{array}

By equating the corresponding elements,

k – 6 = -4

k = 6 – 4

k = 2

And

k + 4 = a

2 + 4 = a

⇒ a = 6

Question 2: Find a matrix A = [a_ij] of order 2 x 2 whose elements are defined by a_ij = 2i – 3j.

Solution:

Given,

a_ij = 2i – 3j

a₁₁ = 2(1) – 3(1) = 2 – 3 = -1

a₁₂ = 2(1) – 3(2) = 2 – 6 = -4

a₂₁ = 2(2) – 3(1) = 4 – 3 = 1

a₂₂ = 2(2) – 3(2) = 4 – 6 = -2

Therefore, the required matrix

\begin{array}{l} = [\begin{array}{c} - 1 & - 4 \\ 1 & - 2 \end{array}] \end{array}

Question 3: Find the values of a and b, if

Solution:

Given,

RBSE class 12 maths chapter 3 imp que 3 sol

By comparing the corresponding elements,

a + b = 6

b = 6 – a ….(i)

ab = 8 ….(ii)

From (i) and (ii),

a(6 – a)= 8

6a – a² – 8=0

⇒ a² – 6a + 8 = 0

⇒ a² – 2a – 4a + 8 = 0

⇒ a(a – 2) – 4(a – 2) = 0

⇒ (a – 2)(a – 4) = 0

⇒ a – 2 = 0, a – 4 = 0

⇒ a = 2, a = 4

If a = 2, b = 6 – 2 = 4

If a = 4, b = 6 – 4 = 2

Therefore, the values of a and b are 2, 4 and 4, 2, respectively.

Question 4: For what values of a, b and c, matrices A and B are equal matrices. Where:

Solution:

Given,

RBSE class 12 maths chapter 3 imp que 4 sol

By equating the corresponding terms,

a – 2 = b

⇒ a – b = 2 …(i)

3 = c

12c = 6b

⇒ b = 12c/6 = 2c = 2 × 3 = 6

From (i),

a – 6 = 2

a = 2 + 6 = 8

Therefore, a = 8, b = 6 and c = 3.

\begin{array}{l} = [\begin{array}{c} a x + h y + g z & h x + b y + f z & g x + f y + c z \end{array}] [\begin{array}{c} x \\ y \\ z \end{array}] \end{array}

= (ax + hy + gz)x + (hx + by + fz)v + (gr + fy + cz)z

= ax² + hxy + gzx + hxy + by² + fyz + gzx + fyz + cz²

= ax² + by² + cz² + 2hxy + 2fyz + 2gzx

= RHS

Hence Proved.

and
$\begin{array}{l} I = [\begin{array}{c} 1 & 0 \\ 0 & 1 \end{array}] \end{array}$

and

\begin{array}{l} I = [\begin{array}{c} 1 & 0 \\ 0 & 1 \end{array}] \end{array}

Consider, A² = 8A + KI

Now, by equating the corresponding elements,

1 = 8 + K

⇒ K = 1 – 8 = -7

Therefore, the value of K = -7.

Solution:

Given,

Order of the matrix A = 3 x 4

∴ Order of the matrix A^T = 4 x 3

Also, given that: A^TB and AB^T are defined.

Hence, the order of B is 3 x 4.
