Selina 10th Maths Chapter 9, Class 10 Maths Chapter 9 solutions

Exercise 9A

Question 1.
State, whether the following statements are true or false. If false, give a reason.
(i) If A and B are two matrices of orders 3 × 2 and 2 × 3 respectively; then their sum A + B is possible.
(ii) The matrices A_2 × 3 and B_2 × 3 are conformable for subtraction.
(iii) Transpose of a 2 × 1 matrix is a 2 × 1 matrix.
(iv) Transpose of a square matrix is a square matrix.
(v) A column matrix has many columns and one row.
Solution:
(i) False
The sum A + B is possible when the order of both the matrices A and B are same.
(ii) True
(iii) False
Transpose of a 2 1 matrix is a 1 2 matrix.
(iv) True
(v) False
A column matrix has only one column and many rows.

Question 2.

Solution:
If two matrices are equal, then their corresponding elements are also equal. Therefore, we have:
x = 3,
y + 2 = 1 ⇒ y = -1
z – 1 = 2 ⇒ z = 3

Question 3.

Solution:
If two matrices are equal, then their corresponding elements are also equal.
(i)
a + 5 = 2 ⇒ a = -3
-4 = b + 4 ⇒ b = -8
2 = c – 1 ⇒ c = 3
(ii) a= 3
a – b = -1
⇒ b = a + 1 = 4
b + c = 2
⇒ c = 2 – b = 2 – 4 = -2

Question 4.
If A = [8 -3] and B = [4 -5]; find: (i) A + B (ii) B – A

Solution:

Question 17.

Solution:
We know, the product of two matrices is defined only when the number of columns of first matrix is equal to the number of rows of the second matrix.

Question 18.

Solution:

Question 19.

Solution:

Question 20.
If A and B are any two 2 x 2 matrices such that AB = BA = B and B is not a zero matrix, what can you say about the matrix A?
Solution:
AB = BA = B
We know that AI = IA = I, where I is the identity matrix.
Hence, B is the identity matrix.

(i) A + B = B + A
(ii) A – B = B – A
(iii) (B. C). A = B. (C. A)
(iv) (A + B). C = A. C + B. C
(v) A. (B – C) = A. B – A. C
(vi) (A – B). C = A. C – B. C
(vii) A² – B² = (A + B) (A – B)
(viii) (A – B)² = A² – 2A. B + B²
Solution:
(i) True.
Addition of matrices is commutative.
