Q. Let A be a 2 × 2 matrix Statement- $1: \operatorname{adj}(\operatorname{adj} A)=A$ Statement-2: $|$ adj $A|=| A |$ (1) Statement–1 is true, Statement–2 is false. (2) Statement–1 is false, Statement–2 is true. (3) Statement–1 is true, Statement–2 is true;Statement–2 is a correct explanation for Statement–1. (4) Statement–1 is true, Statement–2 is true; Statement–2 is not a correct explanation for statement–1. [AIEEE- 2009]
Ans. (4) Let $A=\left(\begin{array}{ll}{a} & {b} \\ {c} & {d}\end{array}\right)$ $\operatorname{adj}(\mathrm{A})=\left(\begin{array}{cc}{\mathrm{d}} & {-\mathrm{b}} \\ {-\mathrm{c}} & {\mathrm{a}}\end{array}\right)$ $\operatorname{adj}(\operatorname{adj} A)=\left(\begin{array}{ll}{a} & {b} \\ {c} & {d}\end{array}\right)=A$ statement is right Statement 2 We know $\mathrm{A}$ adj $(\mathrm{A})=|\mathrm{A}| \mathrm{I}_{\mathrm{n}}$ taking determinant $|\mathrm{A} \cdot \operatorname{adj}(\mathrm{A})|=\| \mathrm{A}\left|\mathrm{I}_{\mathrm{n}}\right|$ $\Rightarrow|\operatorname{adj}(\mathrm{A})|=|\mathrm{A}|^{\mathrm{n}-1}$ Here $\mathrm{n}=2$ (order) so $|\operatorname{adj} \mathrm{A}||\mathrm{A}|^{2-1}=|\mathrm{A}|$ so statement 2 is also true and 2 is not explanation for statement 1
Q. The number of 3× 3 non-singular matrices, with four entries as 1 and all other entries as 0, is :- (1) Less than 4            (2) 5             (3) 6              (4) At least 7 [AIEEE-2010]
Ans. (4)
Q. Let A be a $2 \times 2$ matrix with non-zero entries and let $\mathrm{A}^{2}=\mathrm{I},$ where I is $2 \times 2$ identity matrix. Define $\operatorname{Tr}(\mathrm{A})=$ sum of diagonal elements of $\mathrm{A}$ and $|\mathrm{A}|=$ determinant of matrix $\mathrm{A}$. Statement- $1: \operatorname{Tr}(\mathrm{A})=0$ Statement-2: $|\mathrm{A}|=1$ (1) Statement–1 is true, Statement–2 is true; Statement–2 is a correct explanation for Statement–1. (2) Statement–1 is true, Statement–2 is true; Statement–2 is not a correct explanation for statement–1. (3) Statement–1 is true, Statement–2 is false. (4) Statement–1 is false, Statement–2 is true. [AIEEE-2010]
Ans. (3) Statement 1: Let $\mathrm{A}=\left(\begin{array}{ll}{\mathrm{a}} & {\mathrm{b}} \\ {\mathrm{c}} & {\mathrm{d}}\end{array}\right) \mathrm{a}, \mathrm{b}, \mathrm{c}, \mathrm{d},$ are non zero $A^{2}=\left(\begin{array}{ll}{a} & {b} \\ {c} & {d}\end{array}\right)\left(\begin{array}{ll}{a} & {b} \\ {c} & {d}\end{array}\right)=\left(\begin{array}{ll}{1} & {0} \\ {0} & {1}\end{array}\right)$ $\Rightarrow a^{2}+b c=1$ $\Rightarrow \mathrm{ab}+\mathrm{bd}=0 \Rightarrow \mathrm{b}(\mathrm{a}+\mathrm{d})=0$ so $\mathrm{b} \neq 0,(\mathrm{a}+\mathrm{d})=0$ $a+d=0 \Rightarrow \operatorname{tr}(A)=0$ Statement 2: $|A|=a d-b c=-a^{2}-b c=-\left(a^{2}+b c\right)=-1$ So Statement 2 is false.
Q. Let A and B be two symmetric matrices of order 3. Statement-1 : A(BA) and (AB)A are symmetric matrices. Statement-2 : AB is symmetric matrix if matrix multiplication of A with B is commutative. (1) Statement-1 is true, Statement-2 is false. (2) Statement-1 is false, Statement-2 is true (3) Statement-1 is true, Statement-2 is true; Statement-2 is a correct explanation for Statement-1 (4) Statement-1 is true, Statement-2 is true; Statement-2 is not a correct explanation for Statement-1. [AIEEE-2011]
Ans. (4) $A^{T}=A$ $\mathrm{B}^{\mathrm{T}}=\mathrm{B}$ Statement- 1 $(\mathrm{A}(\mathrm{BA}))^{\mathrm{T}}=(\mathrm{BA})^{\mathrm{T}} \mathrm{A}^{\mathrm{T}}$ $=\mathrm{A}^{\mathrm{T}} \mathrm{B}^{\mathrm{T}} \mathrm{A}^{\mathrm{T}}=\mathrm{A}(\mathrm{BA}) \rightarrow \text { symmetric }$ $((\mathrm{AB}) \mathrm{A}))^{\mathrm{T}}=\mathrm{A}^{\mathrm{T}} \mathrm{B}^{\mathrm{T}} \mathrm{A}^{\mathrm{T}}=(\mathrm{AB}) \mathrm{A} \rightarrow$ symmetric Statement - 1 is true Statement- 2: $(\mathrm{AB})^{\mathrm{T}}=\mathrm{B}^{\mathrm{T}} \mathrm{A}^{\mathrm{T}}=\mathrm{B} \mathrm{A}$ if $\mathrm{AB}=\mathrm{B} \mathrm{A}$ then $(\mathrm{AB})^{\mathrm{T}}=\mathrm{B} \mathrm{A}=\mathrm{AB}$ Statement- 2 is true but Not a correct expalnation.
Q. Statement-1 : Determinant of a skew-symmetric matrix of order 3 is zero. Statement-1 : For any matrix A, det(AT) = det(A) and det(–A) = –det(A). Where det(B) denotes the determinant of matrix B. Then : (1) Statement-1 is true and statement-2 is false (2) Both statements are true (3) Both statements are false (4) Statement-1 is false and statement-2 is true. [AIEEE-2011]
Ans. (1) Statement- 1: The value of determinant of skew symmetric matrix of odd order is always zero. So Statement-I. is true. Statement-II : This Statement is not always true depends on the order of matrix. $|-A|=-|A|$ if order is odd, so Statement--II is wrong. Statement-I is true and Statement-II is false.

Let $\mathrm{A}=\left(\begin{array}{lll}{1} & {0} & {0} \\ {2} & {1} & {0} \\ {3} & {2} & {1}\end{array}\right) .$ If $\mathrm{u}_{1}$ and $\mathrm{u}_{2}$ are column matrices such that $\mathrm{Au}_{1}=\left(\begin{array}{l}{1} \\ {0} \\ {0}\end{array}\right)$ and $\mathrm{Au}_{2}=\left(\begin{array}{l}{0} \\ {1} \\ {0}\end{array}\right),$ then $\mathrm{u}_{1}+\mathrm{u}_{2}$ is equal to : [AIEEE-2012]
Ans. (1)
