CHAPTER NAME- MATRICES

Concise Mathematics Class 10 ICSE Solutions


Solutions of chapter 9 Exercise. 9(A)
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 and 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.Given: , find x, y and z.

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.Solve for a, b and c if

(i)

(ii)

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

2
b=a+1=4

b+c=2

c = 2 - b = 2 - 4 = -2

Question 4.If A = and B = ; find: (i) A + B (ii) B - A

Solution:

(i) A + B =

(ii) B - A

Question 5.If A= ,B= and C = ; find:

(i) B + C (ii) A - C

(iii) A + B - C (iv) A - B +C

Solution:

(i)B + C =

(ii)A - C =

(iii)A + B - C =

3
= =

(iv)A - B +C =

= =

Question 6.Wherever possible, write each of the following as a


single matrix.

(i)

(ii)

(iii)

Solution:

(i)

(ii)

(iii) Addition is not possible, because both matrices are not of same order.

Question 7.Find, x and y from the following equations :

4
Solution:

(i)

Equating the corresponding elements, we get,

3 - x = 7 and y + 2 = 2

Thus, we get, x = - 4 and y = 0.

(ii)

Equating the corresponding elements, we get,

-8 + y = -3 and x - 2 =2

Thus, we get, x = 4 and y = 5.

Question 8.Given: M = , find its transpose matrix Mt. If


possible, find:

(i) M + Mt (ii) Mt - M
5
Solution:

M=

Mt =

(i)

(i)

Question 9.Write the additive inverse of matrices A, B and C:

Where

Solution 9

We know additive inverse of a matrix is its negative.

Additive inverse of A =

Additive inverse of B =

Additive inverse of C =

Question 10.Given ; find the matrix X


in each of the following:

(i) X + B = C - A

6
(ii) A - X = B + C

Solution:

(i) X + B = C - A

(ii) A - X = B + C

Question 11.Given ; find the matrix X in


each of the following:

(i) A + X = B

(ii) A - X = B

(iii) X - B = A

Solution:

(i) A + X = B

X=B-A

7
(ii) A - X = B

X=A-B

(iii) X - B = A

X=A+B
