Question 41. For each real number x such that 1<x<1,let A(x) be the matrix (1x)1[1xx1] and z=x+y1+xyThen,
  1.    A(z)=A(x)+A(y)
  2.    A(z)=A(x)+[A(y)]−1
  3.    A(z)=A(x)A(y)
  4.    A(z)=A(x)–A(y)
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> A(z)=A(x)A(y)
:
C
A(z)=A(x+y1+xy)=[1+xy(1x)(1y)]1(x+y1+xy)(x+y1+xy)1
A(x).A(y)=A(z)
Question 42. If A is a skew-symmetric matrix of order 3, then the matrix A4 is
  1.    skew symmetric
  2.    symmetric
  3.    diagonal
  4.    none of those
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> symmetric
:
B
We are given that the matrix A is skew symmetric which implies that,
AT=A --------(1)
(A4)T=(A.A.A.A.)T=ATATATAT (By applying the property of transpose of a matrix)
(-A) (-A) (-A) (-A) (Using equation (1))
=(1)4A4=A4
i.e,(A4)T=(A4)
A4 is symmetric.
Question 43. If A is a non-diagonal involutory matrix, then
  1.    A - I = 0
  2.    A + I = 0
  3.    A - I is non zero singular
  4.    none of these
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> A - I is non zero singular
:
C
A2=IA2I=0
(A+I)(A-I)=0
either |A+I|=0 or
|AI|=0
If |AI|0, then (A+I)(AI)=0A+I=0 which is not so
|AI| and AI0.
Question 44. All the elements in a matrix A are complex numbers with imaginary parts not equal to zero. If A is the conjugate of the matrix A, aij is the general element of matrix A, then what is the general element of the matrix, A+A2.
  1.    2lm(aij)
  2.    lm(aij)
  3.    Re(aij)
  4.    Re(aij)2 
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Re(aij)
:
C
By taking complex conjugate of a matrix we reverse the sign of imaginary parts of all the elements in the original matrix. i.e., if the element in A is x + iy, then the corresponding element in Ais x - iy.
So when A and Ais added the imaginary parts cancel out and the sum becomes 2 times the real part of element in A.
i.e., since (aij) is general element in A, the general element in A+Abecomes 2Re(aij).
General element in A+A2=Re(aij).
