Important Questions with Solution


Note: Section A- Objective type questions (1-2 marks).
Section B- Long answer type questions (4 marks)
SECTION A

Question 1The value of Determinant

a) -7
b) 7
c) 8
d) 10

Ans 1: Δ =6 -0 -1

Δ =6(3-4)-1(2-1)
Δ = 6(-1)- 1(1) = -7.
Hence option (a) is correct

Question 2 Which of the following statement is true


a) Determinant is square matrix
b) Determinant is a number associated with a matrix
c) Determinant is a number associated with a square matrix
d) None of these.
Ans 2:
We know that Determinant is a number associated with a square matrix A = [aij] of order
n×n where aij is (ij)th element
Hence option (c) is correct.
Question 3 If A is an invertible matrix then det (A-1) equals
a) det (A)

b)
c) 1
d) 0
Ans 3: A is invertible matrix ⇒ 0

AA-1 = I or = =1

=1 = = det(A-1)=

Hence option (b) is correct

Question 4 The value of


a) 1
a) 0
b) -1
c) 2
Ans 4: sin 30° cos 60° + cos 30° sin 60°
=sin(30° + 60°) = sin 90° = 1.
Hence option (a) is correct

Question 5 If A is square matrix of order 3*3, then the value of |KA|


a) K|A|
b) K²|A|
c) K3|A|
d) 2K|A|

Ans 5: Let A = then |A| =

KA =

|KA| =

|KA| = K3 = K3 |A|

Hence option (c) is correct.


Question 6 If the area of a triangle is 35 square unit and vertices are (2,-6), (5, 4) and (k,4),
then the value of k is
a) 12,2
b) -2,12
c) 8,10
d) 10,2

Ans 6: Area of triangle =

35= [2(4 - 4) +6(5 - k)+1(20 - 4k)]


35*2 = 50 -10k
70-50 = -10k
K= -2,12
Hence option (b) is correct
Question 7 If A, is square matrix of order 3×3 then value of |adj A|
a) |A|
b) |A|²
c) |A|³
d) 3|A|
Ans 7:
∴ we know that |adj A| = |A|n-1 here n = 3
∴ |adj A| = |A|²
Hence option (b) is correct

Question 8If = and adjoint of aij is Aij then value of Δ can be expressed as

a) a11 A31 + a12 A32 + a13 A33


b) a11 A11 + a12 A21 + a13 A31
c) a21 A11 + a22 A12 + a23 A13
d) a11 A11 + a21 A21 + a31 A31
Ans 8: ∆ = we know that determinant is a sum of product of elements and their corresponding
adjoints of any row or column now here elements are a11, a21, a31
their corresponding adjoints are A11, A21, A31
⇒∆ = a11 A11 + a21 A21 + a31 A31
Hence option (d) is correct
Question 9 If points (k+1,1),(2k+1,3) and (2k+2,2k) are collinear then value of k will be
a) 1,2
b) 2,
c) 2,
d) -2,2

Ans 9: =0

R1 R1 – R2 and R2 R2 – R3

=0

-k(3-2k) + 2(-1)+0 = 0
-3k +2k2-2 = 0
2k2 -3k-2 = 0
2k2 -4k+k-2 = 0
2k(k-2)+1(k-2) =0
K=2,-1/2
Hence option (b) is correct
