Question number 1 to 31 carry 1 mark each.
Q.1: Show that all the diagonal elements of a skew symmetric matrix are zero.
Ans: Let 𝐴 == [𝑎𝑖𝑗 ] be a skew-symmetric matrix
So,
𝑎𝑖𝑗 = −𝑎𝑗𝑖 𝑓𝑜𝑟 𝑎𝑙𝑙 𝑖, 𝑗
 𝑎𝑖𝑖 = −𝑎𝑖𝑖 𝑓𝑜𝑟 𝑎𝑙𝑙 𝑣𝑎𝑙𝑢𝑒𝑠 𝑜𝑓 𝑖

 2𝑎𝑖𝑖 = 0 => 𝑎𝑖𝑖 = 0 𝑓𝑜𝑟 𝑎𝑙𝑙 𝑣𝑎𝑙𝑢𝑒𝑠 𝑜𝑓 𝑖
 𝑎11 = 𝑎22 = 𝑎33 = ⋯ = 𝑎𝑛𝑛 = 0.

1 3 𝑦 0 5 6
Ans: 2[ ]+[ ]=[ ]
0 𝑥 1 2 1 8
2 6 𝑦 0 5 6
⇒ [ ]+[ ]=[ ]
0 2𝑥 1 2 1 8
2+𝑦 6 5 6
⇒ [ ]=[ ]
1 2𝑥 + 2 1 8
∴ 2+𝑦 =5 ⇒𝑦=3
𝑎𝑛𝑑 2𝑥 + 2 = 8 ⇒ 2𝑥 = 6 ⇒ 𝑥 = 3
∴ 𝑥 = 3, 𝑦 = 3.

Q.23: If a matrix has 5 elements, write all possible orders it can have.
Ans: Since a matrix of order 𝑚 × 𝑛 has 𝑚𝑛 elements, therefore, to find all possible orders
of a matrix with 5 elements, we have to find all possible ordered pairs (𝑚, 𝑛) of
positive integers whose product in 5. Hence possible orders are 1 × 5 𝑎𝑛𝑑 5 × 1.

14 2𝑦 − 6 15 14
⇒ 2𝑥 + 3 = 7; 2𝑦 − 4 = 14
⇒ 2𝑥 = 4 ; 2𝑦 − 4 = 14

= 7𝐴 − (𝐼 + 𝐴)(𝐼 + 𝐴)(𝐼 + 𝐴)
= 7𝐴 − (𝐼 + 𝐴)(𝐼. 𝐼 + 𝐼. 𝐴 + 𝐴. 𝐼 + 𝐴. 𝐴)
= 7𝐴 − (𝐼 + 𝐴)(𝐼 + 𝐴 + 𝐴 + 𝐴)
(∵ 𝐼. 𝐴 = 𝐴. 𝐼 = 𝐴 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝐴2 = 𝐴)
= 7𝐴 − (𝐼 + 𝐴)(𝐼 + 3𝐴)
= 7𝐴 − (𝐼. 𝐼 + 𝐼. 3𝐴 + 𝐴𝐼 + 𝐴. 3𝐴)
= 7𝐴 − (𝐼 + 3𝐴 + 𝐴 + 3𝐴)

[2𝑥 − 𝑦 𝑤 ] = [ 0 5]
⇒ 𝑥 − 𝑦 = 1, 𝑧 = 4
2𝑥 − 𝑦 = 0, 𝑤 = 5
Solving these eq. for 𝑥, 𝑦, we get
𝑥 = 1, 𝑦=2
∴ 𝑥 + 𝑦 = 1 + 2 = 3.
