Exercise 5.1 Page No: 5.6

1. If a matrix has 8 elements, what are the possible orders it can have? What if it has 5 elements?

Solution:

If a matrix is of order m × n elements, it has m n elements. So, if the matrix has 8 elements, we will find the ordered pairs m and n.

m n = 8

Then, ordered pairs m and n will be

m × n be (8 × 1),(1 × 8),(4 × 2),(2 × 4)

Now, if it has 5 elements

Possible orders are (5 × 1), (1 × 5).

Solution:

(i)

Now, Comparing with equation (1) and (2)

a₂₂ = 4 and b₂₁ = – 3

a₂₂ + b₂₁ = 4 + (– 3) = 1

(ii)

Now, Comparing with equation (1) and (2)

a₁₁ = 2, a₂₂ = 4, b₁₁ = 2, b₂₂ = 4

a₁₁ b₁₁ + a₂₂ b₂₂ = 2 × 2 + 4 × 4 = 4 + 16 = 20

3. Let A be a matrix of order 3 × 4. If R₁ denotes the first row of A and C₂ denotes its second column, then determine the orders of matrices R₁ and C₂.

Solution:

Given A be a matrix of order 3 × 4.

So, A = [a_{i j}] _3×4

R₁ = first row of A = [a₁₁, a₁₂, a₁₃, a₁₄]

8. Find x, y, a and b if

Solution:

Given

Given that two matrices are equal.

We know that if two matrices are equal then the elements of each matrices are also equal.

Therefore by equating them we get,

3x + 4y = 2 …… (1)

x – 2y = 4 …… (2)

a + b = 5 …… (3)

2a – b = – 5 …… (4)

Multiplying equation (2) by 2 and adding to equation (1), we get

3x + 4y + 2x – 4y = 2 + 8

⇒ 5x = 10

⇒ x = 2

Now, substituting the value of x in equation (1)

3 × 2 + 4y = 2

⇒ 6 + 4y = 2

⇒ 4y = 2 – 6

⇒ 4y = – 4

⇒ y = – 1

Now by adding equation (3) and (4)

a + b + 2a – b = 5 + (– 5)

⇒ 3a = 5 – 5 = 0

⇒ a = 0

Now, again by substituting the value of a in equation (3), we get

0 + b = 5

⇒ b = 5

∴ a = 0, b = 5, x = 2 and y = – 1

9. Find x, y, a and b if

Solution:

We know that if two matrices are equal then the elements of each matrices are also equal.

Given that two matrices are equal.

Therefore by equating them we get,

2a + b = 4 …… (1)

And a – 2b = – 3 …… (2)

And 5c – d = 11 …… (3)

4c + 3d = 24 …… (4)

Multiplying equation (1) by 2 and adding to equation (2)

4a + 2b + a – 2b = 8 – 3

⇒ 5a = 5

⇒ a = 1

Now, substituting the value of a in equation (1)

2 × 1 + b = 4

⇒ 2 + b = 4

⇒ b = 4 – 2

⇒ b = 2

Multiplying equation (3) by 3 and adding to equation (4)

15c – 3d + 4c + 3d = 33 + 24

⇒ 19c = 57

⇒ c = 3

Now, substituting the value of c in equation (4)

4 × 3 + 3d = 24

⇒ 12 + 3d = 24

⇒ 3d = 24 – 12

⇒ 3d = 12

⇒ d = 4

∴ a = 1, b = 2, c = 3 and d = 4

10. Find the values of a, b, c and d from the following equations:

Solution:

Given

We know that if two matrices are equal then the elements of each matrices are also equal.

Given that two matrices are equal.

Therefore by equating them we get,

2a + b = 4 …… (1)

And a – 2b = – 3 …… (2)

And 5c – d = 11 …… (3)

4c + 3d = 24 …… (4)

Multiplying equation (1) by 2 and adding to equation (2)

4a + 2b + a – 2b = 8 – 3

⇒ 5a = 5

⇒ a = 1

Now, substituting the value of a in equation (1)

2 × 1 + b = 4

⇒ 2 + b = 4

⇒ b = 4 – 2

⇒ b = 2

Multiplying equation (3) by 3 and adding to equation (4)

15c – 3d + 4c + 3d = 33 + 24

⇒ 19c = 57

⇒ c = 3

Now, substituting the value of c in equation (4)

4 × 3 + 3d = 24

⇒ 12 + 3d = 24

⇒ 3d = 24 – 12

⇒ 3d = 12

⇒ d = 4

∴ a = 1, b = 2, c = 3 and d = 4
