(d) Only one solution
Ans: (a)
Explanation:- The given system of equations are

x1 – x2 + x3 = 1
Now converting equations into matrix form, where
A=\begin{bmatrix}1 & 1 & 1\\1 &-2 & 0\\1 & -1 & 1\end{bmatrix} ,
B=\begin{bmatrix}3\\0\\1\end{bmatrix}Now, we know that C=AB, where C is the Augmented matrix
Augmented matrix (AB) =
\begin{bmatrix}1&1&1&3\\1&-1&0&0\\1&-1&1&1\end{bmatrix}\begin{array}{c}R_2-R_1\\R_3-R_1\end{array}\\ \begin{bmatrix}1&1&1&3\\0&-2&-1&-3\\0&-2&1&1\end{bmatrix}R_3-R_2\\ \begin{bmatrix}1&1&1&3\\0&-2&-1&-3\\0&0&2&4\end{bmatrix}\\ \therefore\rho(A)=\rho(AB)=3\\⟹ Unique solution.
So, option (a) is the correct answer.

The characteristics equation is given by,
Characteristic equation is | A – λI | = 0
\begin{vmatrix}2-\lambda&-1&0&0\\0&3-\lambda&0&0\\0&0&-2-\lambda&0\\0&0&-1&4-\lambda\end{vmatrix}=0 \begin{vmatrix}3-\lambda&0&0\\0&-2\lambda&0\\0&-1&4-\lambda\end{vmatrix}=0(2 – λ)(3 – λ)[(-2-λ)(4-λ)] = 0

[2005 : 2 M] Given the matrix \begin{bmatrix}-4&2\\4&3\end{bmatrix}, the eigenvector is
(a) \begin{bmatrix}3\\2\end{bmatrix}
(b) \begin{bmatrix}4\\3\end{bmatrix}
(c) \begin{bmatrix}2\\-1\end{bmatrix}
(d) \begin{bmatrix}-1\\2\end{bmatrix}
Ans: (c)
Explanation :- Given matrix is \begin{bmatrix}-4&2\\4&3\end{bmatrix}
The characteristics equation is ,
A – λI = 0
\begin{bmatrix}-4&2\\4&3\end{bmatrix}-\begin{bmatrix}\lambda&0\\0&\lambda\end{bmatrix}=0 \Rightarrow\begin{bmatrix}-4-\lambda&2\\4&3-\lambda\end{bmatrix}=0(-4 – λ)(3 – λ)-8 = 0
-12 + 4λ – 3λ + λ2 – 8 = 0
λ2 + λ – 20 = 0
(λ + 5)(λ – 4) = 0
∴ λ = -5, 4
Let, eigen vector be \begin{bmatrix}m_1\\m_2\end{bmatrix}; Putting, λ1 = -5
\begin{bmatrix}1&2\\4&8\end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix}m_1\\m_2\end{bmatrix}=0 \begin{bmatrix}1&2\\1&2\end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix}m_1\\m_2\end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}0\\0\end{bmatrix} \Rightarrow\begin{bmatrix}1&2\\0&0\end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix}m_1\\m_2\end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}0\\0\end{bmatrix}m1 + 2m2 = 0
Taking the value, m1 = 2 and m2 = -1
Thus the eigen vector correspondence to eigen value \lambda_1=-5\;is\;X_1=\begin{bmatrix}2\\-1\end{bmatrix}
Option (c) is the correct answer.
[2005 : 2 M] Let, A=\begin{bmatrix}2&-0.1\\0&3\end{bmatrix} and A^{-1}=\begin{bmatrix}\frac12&a\\0&b\end{bmatrix}. Then (a + b) =
(a) frac7{20}
(b) \frac3{20}
(c) \frac{19}{60}
(d) \frac{11}{20}
Ans: (a)
Explanation:- Given that A=\begin{bmatrix}2&-0.1\\0&3\end{bmatrix} ,
Now, we know thatthe identity matrix is given by,
\begin{bmatrix}AA^{-1}\end{bmatrix}=I \Rightarrow\begin{bmatrix}2&-0.1\\0&3\end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix}\frac12&a\\0&b\end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}1&0\\0&1\end{bmatrix} \Rightarrow\begin{bmatrix}1&2a-0.1b\\0&3b\end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}1&0\\0&1\end{bmatrix}⟹ 2a – 0.1b = 0
3b=1\Rightarrow b=\frac13 2a=\frac{0.1}3 \Rightarrow a=\frac{0.1}6=\frac1{60} a+b=\frac1{60}+\frac13=\frac{1+20}{60}=\frac{21}{60}=\frac7{20}So, option (a) is the correct answer.

(c) \begin{bmatrix}1&0&0&0\\0&1&0&0\\0&0&1&0\\0&0&0&1\end{bmatrix}
(d) \begin{bmatrix}\frac14&0&0&0\\0&\frac14&0&0\\0&0&\frac14&0\\0&0&0&\frac14\end{bmatrix}
Ans: (c)
Explanation:- Given that A=\begin{bmatrix}1&1&1&1\\1&1&-1&-1\\1&-1&0&0\\0&0&1&-1\end{bmatrix}\;\begin{bmatrix}AA^T\end{bmatrix}^{-1}
\left[AA^T\right]^{-1}=IFor orthogonal matrix AAT = I i.e. unity matrix.
Inverse of I = I
So, option (c) is the correct answer.

(a) 0
(b) 1
(c) 2
(d) 3
Ans: (c)
Explanation:- Given matrix is \begin{bmatrix}1&1&1\\1&-1&0\\1&1&1\end{bmatrix}
Let us apply row transformation for finding the rank of the matrix,
R3 ⟶ R1 – R3
\begin{bmatrix}1&1&1\\1&-1&0\\0&0&0\end{bmatrix}∴ Rank = 2
So, the rank is 2 and correct option is (c) .
[2006 : 2 M] The eigenvalues and the corresponding eigenvectors of a 2 x 2 matrix are given by

λ2 = 4 | V_2=\begin{bmatrix}1\\-1\end{bmatrix} |
The matrix is
(a) \begin{bmatrix}6&2\\2&6\end{bmatrix}
(b) \begin{bmatrix}4&6\\6&4\end{bmatrix}
(c) \begin{bmatrix}2&4\\4&2\end{bmatrix}
(d) \begin{bmatrix}4&8\\8&4\end{bmatrix}
Ans: (a)
Explanation:- Now, it is given that the value of eigen values are λ1 = 8, λ2 = 4,
So, for finding the matrix we will solve by taking \left[\lambda I-A\right]=0
\left[\lambda I-A\right]=0 \begin{bmatrix}\lambda&0\\0&\lambda\end{bmatrix}-\begin{bmatrix}6&2\\2&6\end{bmatrix}=1(λ-6)2 – 4 = 0
λ = 8, 4
∗ By property of eigen matrix sum of diagonal elements should be equal to sum of eigen values.
So, option (a) is the correct answer.
[2006 : 2 M] For the matrix \begin{bmatrix}4&2\\2&4\end{bmatrix} the eigenvalue corresponding to the eigenvector \begin{bmatrix}101\\101\end{bmatrix} is
(a) 2
(b) 4
(c) 6
(d) 8
Ans: (c)
Explanation:- It is given that,
M=\begin{bmatrix} 4&2\\2&4\end{bmatrix} M-\lambda I=\begin{bmatrix}4-\lambda&2\\2&4-\lambda\end{bmatrix}Given eigen vector
\therefore\begin{bmatrix}4-\lambda&2\\2&4-\lambda\end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix}101\\101\end{bmatrix}=0 \Rightarrow\left(4-\lambda\right)\left(101\right)+2\left(101\right)=0⇒ 4 – λ + 2 = 0
λ = 6
So, option (c) is the correct answer.
