Matrices Exercise 9A – Selina Concise Mathematics Class 10 ICSE Solutions

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 A2 × 3 and B2 × 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

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.

State, with reason, whether the following are true or false. A, B and C are matrices of order 2 x 2.
(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:

Selina Concise Physics Class 10 ICSE Solutions Current Electricity Selina ICSE Solutions for Class 10 Physics Chapter 8 Current Electricity Exercise 8(A) 1. Define the term current and state its S.I. unit. Solution 1. Current is defined as the rate of flow of charge. I=Q/t Its S.I. unit is Ampere. 2.Define the term electric potential. State it's S.I. unit. Solution 2. Electric potential at a point is defined as the amount of work done in bringing a unit positive charge from infinity to that point. Its unit is the volt. 3.How is the electric potential difference between the two points defined? State its S.I. unit. Solution 3. The potential difference between two points is equal to the work done in moving a unit positive charge from one point to the other.
