View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
Null matrix
Option C (Null matrix) is correct because the adjoint of the transpose of a matrix is the same as the transpose of the adjoint of the matrix, resulting in a null matrix when subtracted.

Let AA be a 2×22 \times 2 matrix

Statement −1:adj⁡(adj⁡A)=A-1: \operatorname{adj}(\operatorname{adj} \mathrm{A})=\mathrm{A}

Statement -2 : ∣adj⁡A∣=∣A∣|\operatorname{adj} \mathrm{A}|=|\mathrm{A}|
View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
Statement-1 is true, Statement-2 is true. Statement-2 is not a correct explanation for Statement-1.
Option A is correct. For a 2x2 matrix, adj(adj A) = A and |adj A| = |A|, but the second statement doesn't explain the first.

The restrictions on n,kn, k and pp so that PY+WYP Y+W Y will be defined are
View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
k=3,p=nk=3, p=n
Option A (k=3, p=n) is correct because for PY + WY to be defined, the number of columns in P must equal the number of rows in Y, and the resulting matrices PY and WY must have the same dimensions.

If A=[5a−b32]\mathrm{A}=\left[\begin{array}{cc}5 \mathrm{a} & -\mathrm{b} \\ 3 & 2\end{array}\right] and A\mathrm{A} adj A=AAT\mathrm{A}=\mathrm{AA}^{\mathrm{T}}, then 5a+b5 \mathrm{a}+\mathrm{b} is equal to:
View answer and explanation
Correct option: D
5
Option D (5) is correct. By using the property A(adjA)=∣A∣I=AATA(adj A) = |A|I = AA^T, we can deduce that adjA=ATadj A = A^T. Comparing the elements of adjAadj A and ATA^T allows us to solve for aa and bb, and then calculate 5a+b5a + b.

If AA is a square matrix, then adj⁡A⊤−(adj⁡A)⊤\operatorname{adj} A^{\top}-(\operatorname{adj} A)^{\top} is equal to
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
null matrix
Option C (null matrix) is correct because the adjoint of the transpose of a matrix is the transpose of the adjoint of the matrix, hence their difference is a null matrix.

Let AA be a 2×22 \times 2 matrix

Statement-1 adj⁡(adj⁡A)=A\operatorname{adj}(\operatorname{adj} A)=A

Statement-2 ∣adj⁡A∣=∣A∣|\operatorname{adj} A|=|A|

Correct option: B
Statement-1 is true, Statement-2 is true; Statement-2 is not a correct explanation for Statement-1
Option B (Statement-1 is true, Statement-2 is true; Statement-2 is not a correct explanation for Statement-1) is correct because both statements are true based on properties of adjoints, but one doesn't explain the other.

Let AA and BB are symmetric matrices of order 3.

Statement-1 A(BA)A(B A) and (AB)A(A B) A are symmetric matrices.

Statement-2 ABA B is symmetric matrix, if matrix multiplication of AA with BB is commutative.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
Statement-1 is true, Statement-2 is true; Statement-2 is not a correct explanation for Statement-1
Statement-1 is true because A(BA) and (AB)A are symmetric matrices due to the associative property and symmetry of A and B. Statement-2 is also true because if AB = BA, then AB is symmetric. However, statement-2 is not a correct explanation for statement-1.
