10 If A is a square matrix of order 3 and |A| = 5, then |adj A| _______. 1

(a) 5 (b) 25 (c) 125 (d) 1/5

ASSERTION - REASONING BASED QUESTIONS:

(a) Both Assertion and Reason are correct and reason is the correct explanation for assertion
(b) Both Assertion and Reason are correct but reason is not the correct explanation for assertion.
(c) Assertion is true but the reason is false.
(d) Assertion is false but the reason is true.

11 Assertion (A): If the order of A is 3 × 4, the order of B is 3 × 4 and the order of C is 5 × 4, then the order 1
of (ATB) CT is 4 × 5.
Reason (R): To multiply an m × n matrix by n × p matrix the n must be the same and result is an m × p
matrix. Also, A be a matrix of order m × n then the order of transpose matrix is n × m.

13 Assertion (A): The system of equations 2x – y = – 2; 3x + 4y = 3 has unique solution and x = −5/11 and 1
y = 12/11.
Reason (R): The system of equations AX = B has a unique solution, if |A| ≠ 0.

14 Assertion (A): Minor of an element of a determinant of order n (n ≥ 2) is a determinant of order n. 1

Reason (R): If A is an invertible matrix of order 2, then det (A–1) is equal to 1/| A |.

37 On her birth day, Seema decided to donate some money to children of an orphanage home. If there
were 8 children less, everyone would have got ₹ 10 more. However, if there were 16 children more,
everyone would have got ₹ 10 less. Let the number of children be x and the amount distributed by
Seema for one child be y (in ₹).

39 The Palace of Peace and Reconciliation, also known as the Pyramid of

peace and Accord is a 62 metre high Pyramid in Mursultan, the capital of
Kazakhstan, that serves as a non-denominational national spiritual centre
and an event venue. It is designed by faster and partners with a stained
glass apex. It has 25 smaller equilateral triangles as shown in the figure.
