Add and express the sum as a mixed fraction:

Question: Add and express the sum as a mixed fraction: (i) $\frac{-12}{5}$ and $\frac{43}{10}$ (ii) $\frac{24}{7}$ and $\frac{-11}{4}$ (iii) $\frac{-31}{6}$ and $\frac{-27}{8}$ (iv) $\frac{101}{6}$ and $\frac{7}{8}$ Solution: (i) We have $\frac{-12}{2}+\frac{43}{10}$. L.C.M. of the denominators 5 and 10 is $10 .$ Now, we will express $\frac{-12}{5}$ in the form in which it takes the denominator 10 . $\frac{-12 \times 2}{5 \times 2}=\frac{-24}{10}$ $\therefore \frac{-12}{5}+\frac{43}{10}=\frac{-2...

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

Question: If a matrix has 8 elements, what are the possible orders it can have? What if it has 5 elements? Solution: We know that if a matrix is of order $m \times n$, then it has $m n$ elements. The possible orders of a matrix with 8 elements are given below: $1 \times 8,2 \times 4,4 \times 2,8 \times 1$ Thus, there are 4 possible orders of the matrix.
