Exercise
Question 1.

Using the properties of determinants in evaluate:



Answer:




= (x2 – x + 1) × (x + 1) – (x + 1) × (x – 1)


= x (x2 – x + 1) + 1 (x2 – x + 1) – (x2 – 1)


[∵ (a – b)(a + b) = (a2 – b2)]


= x3 – x2 + x + x2 – x + 1 – x2 + 1


= x3 – x2 + 2



Question 2.

Using the properties of determinants in evaluate:



Answer:

Let

Expanding |A| along C1, we get




= (a + x) [(a + y)(a + z) – yz] – y [(x)(a + z) – xz] + z [xy – x (a + y)]


= (a + x) [a2 + az + ya + yz – yz] – y [ax + xz – xz] + z [xy – xa + xy]


= (a + x) [a2 + az + ya] – y [ax] + z [– xa]


= a(a2 + az + ya) + x(a2 + az + ya) – yax – zxa


= a3 + a2z + ya2 + xa2 + xaz + xya – yax – zxa


= a3 + a2z + ya2 + xa2


= a2 (a + z + y + x)



Question 3.

Using the properties of determinants in evaluate:



Answer:

Let

Expanding |A| along C1, we get




= 0 – xy2 [(x2y)(0) – (x2z)(yz2)] + xz2 [(x2y)(zy2) – 0]


= – xy2 [– (x2yz3)] + xz2 [(x2zy3)]


= x3y3z3 + x3z3y3


= 2x3y3z3



Question 4.

Using the properties of determinants in evaluate:



Answer:

Let

By applying C1→ C1 + C2 + C3, we have




Taking (x + y + z) common from Column C1, we get



By applying R2→ R2 – R1, we get





By applying R3→ R3 – R1, we get





Applying C2→ C2 – C3, we get





Now, expanding along C1, we get


= (x + y + z) [1×{(3y)(2z + x) – (-3z)(x – y)}]


= (x + y + z) [6yz + 3yx + (3z)(x – y)]


= (x + y + z) [6yz + 3yx + 3zx – 3zy]


= (x + y + z) [3yz + 3zx + 3yx]


= 3(x + y + z)(yz + zx + yx)



Question 5.

Using the properties of determinants in evaluate:



Answer:


By applying C1→ C1 + C2 + C3, we get




Taking (3x + 4) common from first column, we get



By applying R2→ R2 – R1, we get




By applying R3→ R3 – R1, we get




Now, expanding along first column, we get


= (3x + 4) [1×{(16) – 0}]


= (3x + 4)(16)


= 16(3x + 4)



Question 6.

Using the properties of determinants in evaluate:



Answer:


By applying R1→ R1 + R2 + R3, we get




Taking (a + b +c) common from the first row, we get



By applying C2→ C2 – C1, we get




By applying C3→ C3 – C1, we get




Now, expanding along first row, we get


= (a + b+ c)[1×{-(a + b + c)×{-(a + b + c)} – 0}]


= (a + b + c)[(a + b + c)2]


= (a + b + c)3



Question 7.

Using the properties of determinants in prove that:



Answer:

Taking LHS,

Firstly, multiply and divide R1, R2, R3 by x, y, z respectively, we get



[rearrange the terms]


Taking xyz common from the first and second column, we get




Applying C3→ C3 + C1, we get



Taking common (xy + yz + xz) common from C3, we get



If any two columns (or rows) of a determinant are identical (all corresponding elements are same), then the value of determinant is zero.


Here, C2 and C3 are identical.


Hence,


∴ LHS = RHS


Hence Proved



Question 8.

Using the properties of determinants in prove that:



Answer:

Taking LHS,

By applying R1→ R1 + R2 + R3, we get




Taking 2 common from the first row, we get



Applying R1→ R1 – R2, we get




Applying R3→ R3 - R1, we get




Applying R2→ R2 – R1, we get




Taking y, z, x common from R1, R2 and R3 respectively, we get



Expanding along C1, we get



= 2xyz [(1){(1) – 0} – (1){0 – 1} + 0}]


= 2xyz [1 + 1]


= 4xyz


= RHS


Hence,


∴ LHS = RHS


Hence Proved



Question 9.

Using the properties of determinants in prove that:



Answer:

Taking LHS,

Applying R1→ R1 – R2, we get





[∵(a2 – b2) = (a – b)(a + b)]


Taking (a – 1) common from the first row, we get



Applying R2→ R2 – R3, we get





Taking (a – 1) common from the second row, we get



Now, expanding along C3, we get


= (a – 1)2 [1{(a + 1) – 2}]


= (a – 1)2 [a + 1 – 2]


= (a – 1)3


= RHS


Hence, LHS = RHS


Hence Proved



Question 10.

If A + B + C = 0, then prove that


Answer:

Given: A + B + C = 0

To Prove:


Taking LHS,


Expanding along the first row, we get




= [1{1 – cos2A} – cos C {cos C – cos B cos A} + cos B {cos C cos A – cos B}]


= {1 – cos2A} – {cos2C – cos A cos B cos C} + {cos A cos B cos C – cos2B}


= {sin2A} – cos2C + cos A cos B cos C + cos A cos B cos C – cos2B


[∵ cos2x + sin2x = 1]


= sin2A – cos2C – cos2B + 2cos A cos B cos C


= -(cos2B – sin2A)– cos2C + 2cos A cos B cos C


= -[cos(B + A)cos(B – A)] + cos C [2 cos A cos B – cos C]


[∵ cos2B – sin2A = cos(B + A)cos(B – A)]


= -[cos(B + A)cos(B – A)] + cos C [cos(A + B) + cos(A – B) – cos C]…(i)


[∵ 2cos A cos B = cos(A + B) + cos(A – B)]


It is given that A + B + C = 0


⇒ A + B = - C


Putting the value of A + B in eq (i), we get


= -[cos(- C) cos(B – A)] + cos C [cos(-C) + cos (A – B) – cos C]


= -cos C cos(B – A) + cos C[cos C + cos(A – B) – cos C]


[∵ cos(-C) = cos C]


Now, cos(A – B) = cos A cos B + sin A sin B


= -cos C{cos B cos A + sin B sin A} + cos C [cos A cos B + sin A sin B]


= 0 = RHS


Hence Proved



Question 11.

Answer:

The coordinates of the vertices of an equilateral triangle are (x1, y1), (x2, y2), (x3, y3).

So, the area of triangle with given vertices is given by



Given that the length of the sides of an equilateral triangle = a


Also, area of equilateral triangle =



Now, squaring both the sides, we get





Hence Proved



Question 12.

Find the value of θ satisfying


Answer:

We have,

Expanding along R1, we get




⇒ (1){-6 – {(-7) cos2θ}} – 1{8 – 7cos2θ} + sin3θ {28 – 21} = 0


⇒ – 6 + 7cos2θ – 8 + 7cos2θ + 7sin3θ = 0


⇒ 14cos2θ + 7sin3θ – 14 = 0


⇒ 2cos2θ + sin3θ – 2 = 0


Now, we know that


cos 2θ = 1 – 2sin2θ


sin 3θ = 3sinθ – 4sin3θ


⇒ 2(1 – 2sin2θ) + (3sinθ – 4sin3θ) – 2 = 0


⇒ 2 – 4sin2θ + 3sinθ – 4sin3θ – 2 = 0


⇒ -2 + 4sin2θ - 3sinθ + 4sin3θ + 2 = 0


⇒ sinθ (4sinθ – 3 + 4sin2θ) = 0


⇒ sinθ (4sin2θ – 6sinθ + 2sinθ – 3) = 0


⇒ sinθ [2sinθ(2sinθ – 3) + 1(2sinθ – 3)] = 0


⇒ sinθ (2sinθ + 1)(2sinθ – 3) = 0


⇒ sinθ = 0 or 2sinθ + 1 = 0 or 2sinθ – 3 = 0


⇒ θ = nπ or 2sinθ = -1 or 2sinθ = 3



⇒ θ = nπ ; m, n ∈ Z




Question 13.

If then find values of x.


Answer:

We have,

By applying C1→ C1 + C2 + C3, we get




Taking (12 + x) common from the first column, we get



By applying C2→ C2 + C3, we get




Applying R2→ R2 – R3, we get




Applying R3→ R3 – R1, we get




Expanding along first column, we get


⇒ (12 + x)[(1){0 – (2x)(-2x)}] = 0


⇒ (12 + x)(4x2) = 0


⇒ 12 + x = 0 or 4x2 = 0


⇒ x = -12 or x = 0


Hence, the value of x = -12 and 0



Question 14.

If a1, a2, a3, ..., ar are in G.P., then prove that the determinant is independent of r.


Answer:

Given: a1, a2…, ar are in G.P

We know that, ar+1 = AR(r+1)-1 = ARr …(i)


[∵an = arn-1, where a = first term and r = common ratio]


where A = First term of given G.P


and R = common ratio of G.P


…[from(i)]


Taking ARr, ARr+6 and ARr+10 common from R1, R2 and R3 respectively, we get



If any two columns (or rows) of a determinant are identical (all corresponding elements are same), then the value of determinant is zero.


Here, R1 and R2 are identical.



Hence Proved



Question 15.

Show that the points (a + 5, a – 4), (a – 2, a + 3) and (a, a) do not lie on a straight line for any value of a.


Answer:

Given points are (a + 5, a – 4), (a – 2, a + 3) and (a, a)

To Prove: these points don’t lie on straight line for any value of a


So, we have to show that these points form a triangle.


Area of triangle:-




Applying R2→ R2 – R1, we get




Applying R3→ R3 – R1, we get




Now, expanding along third column, we get




Hence, given points form a triangle i.e. points do not lie on a straight line.


Hence Proved



Question 16.

Show that the Δ ABC is an isosceles triangle if the determinant



Answer:

We have,


Applying C2→ C2 – C1, we get






Taking common cos B – cos A from second column, we get



Applying C3→ C3 – C1, we get





Taking common cos C – cos A from column third, we get



Now, expanding along first row, we get


⇒ (cos B – cos A)(cos C – cos A)[(1){cos C + cos A + 1 – (cos B + cos A + 1)}] = 0


⇒ (cos B – cos A)(cos C – cos A)[cos C + cos A + 1 – cos B – cos A – 1] = 0


⇒ (cos B – cos A)(cos C – cos A)(cos C – cos B) = 0


⇒ cos B – cos A = 0 or cos C – cos A = 0 or cos C – cos B = 0


⇒ cos B = cos A or cos C = cos A or cos C = cos B


⇒ B = A or C = A or C = B


Hence, ΔABC is an isosceles triangle.



Question 17.

Find A–1 if and show that


Answer:

We have,

We have to find A-1 and


Firstly, we find |A|


Expanding |A| along C1, we get




= 0 – 1 {0 – 1} + 1 {1 – 0}


= 1 + 1


= 2


Now, we have to find adj A and for that we have to find co-factors:













Now, we have to show that








= A-1


Hence Proved



Question 18.

If find A–1. Using A–1, solve the system of linear equations x – 2y = 10, 2x – y – z = 8, –2y + z = 7.


Answer:

We have,

We have to find A-1 and


Firstly, we find |A|


Expanding |A| along C1, we get




= (-1 + 2) + 2 (0) + 0


= 1


Now, we have to find adj A and for that we have to find co-factors:













Now, the system of linear equation is


x – 2y = 10


2x – y – z = 8


-2y + z = 7


We know that, AX = B


Here,


and we can see that this matrix is the transpose of the given matrix. So, transpose of A-1 is



⇒ X = A-1B





∴ x = 0, y = -5 and z = -3



Question 19.

Using matrix method, solve the system of equations 3x + 2y – 2z = 3, x + 2y + 3z = 6, 2x – y + z = 2


Answer:

Given system of equations is:

3x + 2y – 2z = 3,


x + 2y + 3z = 6,


2x – y + z = 2


We know that,


AX = B


i.e.


∴ X = A-1 B


So, firstly, we have to find the A-1 and


Firstly, we find |A|


Expanding |A| along C1, we get




= 3(2 + 3) – 1(2 – 2) + 2(6 + 4)


= 3(5) + 2(10)


= 15 + 20


= 35


Now, we have to find adj A and for that we have to find co-factors:













Now, X = A-1B






∴ x = 1, y = 1 and z = 1



Question 20.

Given find BA and use this to solve the system of equations y + 2z = 7, x – y = 3, 2x + 3y + 4z = 17.


Answer:

We have,





BA = 6I …(i)


Now, given system of equations is:


y + 2z = 7,


x – y = 3,


2x + 3y + 4z = 17


So,



Applying R1→ R2, we get



Applying R2→ R3, we get



Now, …(ii)


So, BA = 6I [from eq(i)]



and



Now, putting the value of B-1, in eq. (ii), we get






∴ x = 4 , y = 2 and z = -1



Question 21.

If a + b + c ≠ 0 and then prove that a = b = c.


Answer:

Let

Applying C1→ C1 + C2 + C3, we get



Taking (a + b + c) common from the first column, we get



Now, Expanding along C1, we get


= (a + b + c)[(1)(bc – a2) – (1)(b2 – ac) + (1)(ba – c2)]


= (a + b + c)[bc – a2 – b2 + ac + ab – c2]


= (a + b + c)[-(a2 + b2 + c2 – ab – bc – ac)]





[∵ (a – b)2 = a2 + b2 – 2ab]


Given that Δ = 0



⇒ (a + b + c)[(a – b)2 + (b – c)2 + (c – a)2] = 0


Either (a + b + c) = 0 or (a – b)2 + (b – c)2 + (c – a)2 = 0


but it is given that (a + b + c) ≠ 0


∴(a – b)2 + (b – c)2 + (c – a)2 = 0


⇒ a – b = b – c = c – a = 0


⇒ a = b = c


Hence Proved



Question 22.

Prove that is divisible by a + b + c and find the quotient.


Answer:

We have,

Applying R1→ R1 – R2, we get






Taking (a + b+ c) common from first row, we get



Applying R2→ R2 – R3, we get




Taking (a + b+ c) common from second row, we get



Applying C1→ C1 + C2 + C3, we get




Now, expanding along C1, we get


= (a + b + c)2[ab + bc + ca – (a2 + b2 + c2){(c – b)(b – a) – (a – c)2}]


= (a + b + c)2[ab + bc + ca – (a2 + b2 + c2){(cb – ac – b2 + ab – (a + c2 – 2ac)}]


= (a + b + c)2[ab + bc + ca – (a2 + b2 + c2){(cb – ac – b2 + ab – a - c2 + 2ac)}]


= (a + b + c)2[ab + bc + ca – (a2 + b2 + c2){ac + bc + ab – (a2 + b2 + c2)}]


=(a + b + c)2[ab + bc + ca – (a2 + b2 + c2)]2


=(a + b + c)(a + b + c)[ab + bc + ca – (a2 + b2 + c2)


Hence, given determinant is divisible by (a + b + c) and Quotient is (a + b + c)[ab + bc + ca – (a2 + b2 + c2)



Question 23.

If x + y + z = 0, prove that


Answer:

Given: x + y + z = 0

To Prove:


Taking LHS,


Expanding along the first row, we get


= xa{(za)(ya) – (xc)(xb)} – (yb){(yc)(ya) – (zb)(xb)} + (zc){(yc)(xc) – (zb)(za)}


= xa{a2yz – x2bc} – yb{y2ac – b2xz} + zc{c2xy – z2ab}


= a3xyz – x3abc – y3abc + b3xyz + c3xyz – z3abc


= xyz(a3 + b3 + c3) – abc(x3 + y3 + z3)


It is given that x + y + z = 0


⇒ x3 + y3 + z3 = 3xyz


= xyz(a3 + b3 + c3) – abc (3xyz)


= xyz(a3 + b3 + c3 – 3abc)



Hence Proved



Question 24.

If then value of x is
A. 3

B. ± 3

C. ± 6

D. 6


Answer:

We have,



⇒ (2x)(x) – (5)(8) = (6)(3) – (7)(-2)


⇒ 2x2 – 40 = 18 – (-14)


⇒ 2x2 – 40 = 18 + 14


⇒ x2 – 20 = 9 + 7


⇒ x2 – 20 = 16


⇒ x2 = 16 + 20


⇒ x2 = 36


⇒ x = √36


⇒ x = ±6


Hence, the correct option is (c)


Question 25.

Answer:

We have,

Applying C2→ C2 + C3, we get



Taking (a + b + c) common from second column, we get



Applying C1 → C1 – C3, we get




Expanding along first row, we get


= (a + b + c)[(-b){c – b} – (1){-c2 – (-ab)} + a{-c – (-a)}]


= (a + b + c)(-bc + b2 + c2 – ab – ac + a2)


= a(-bc + b2 + c2 – ab – ac + a2) + b(-bc + b2 + c2 – ab – ac + a2) + c(-bc + b2 + c2 – ab – ac + a2)


= -abc + ab2 + ac2 – a2b – a2c + a3 – b2c + b3 + bc2 – ab2 – abc + a2b – bc2 + b2c + c3 – abc – ac2 + a2c


= a3 + b3 + c3 – 3abc

[given]



Now, expanding along second column, we get


⇒ -(k) {-3 – 3} = 18


⇒ -k (-6) = 18


⇒ 6k = 18


⇒ k = 3


Hence, the correct option is (b)


Question 27.

The determinant equals
A. abc (b–c) (c – a) (a – b)

B. (b–c) (c – a) (a – b)

C. (a + b + c) (b – c) (c – a) (a – b)

Hence, the correct option is (d).


Question 28.

The number of distinct real roots of in the interval is
A. 0

B. –1

C. 1

D. None of these


Answer:

We have,

Applying C1→ C1 + C2 + C3, we get




Taking (2cos X + sin X) common from the first column, we get



Applying R2→ R2 – R1, we get




Applying R3→ R3 – R1, we get




Expanding |A| along C1, we get


⇒ (2cos X + sin X) [(1){(sin X – cos X)(sin X – cos X)}]


⇒ (2cos X + sin X)(sin X – cos X)2 = 0


⇒ 2cos X = -sin X or (sin X – cos X)2 = 0



⇒ tan X = -2 or tan X = 1


but tan X = -2 is not possible as for


So, tan X = 1



Hence, only one real distinct root exist.


Hence, the correct option is (c)


Question 29.

If A, B and C are angles of a triangle, then the determinant is equal to
A. 0

B. –1

C. 1

D. None of these


Answer:

We have,

Expanding along C1, we get




= [(-1){1 – cos2A} – cos C{-cos C – cos Acos B} + cos B{cos A cos C + cos B}]


= -1 + cos2A + cos2C + cos A cos B cos C + cos A cos B cos C + cos2B


= -1 + cos2A + cos2B + cos2C + 2cos A cos B cos C


Here, we use formula


1 + cos2A = 2cos2A



Taking L.C.M, we get




Now, we use the formula:


cos(A + B) cos(A – B) = 2cos Acos B


so, cos2A + cos2B = 2 cos(A + B) cos(A – B)




…(i)


Since, A, B and C are the angles of a triangle and we know that the sum of the angles of a triangle = 180° or π


⇒ A + B + C = π


⇒ A + B = π – C


Putting the value of (A+B) in eq. (i), we get



[∵ cos(π – x) = -cos X]



= -cos C{cos(A – B) – cos C} + 2cos Acos Bcos C


= -cos C[cos(A – B) – cos{π – (A + B)}] + 2cos Acos Bcos C


= -cos C[cos(A – B) + cos(A + B)] + + 2cos Acos Bcos C


= -cos C[2cos Acos B] + 2cos Acos Bcos C


= 0

A.

B.

C.

D.


Answer:

Given


Performing operations C1→ C2 – C3 and C2→ C2 – C3



= 0 – 0 + 1 (sin θ. cos θ)


Multiply and divide by 2,


= 1/2 (2sin θ cos θ)


We know that 2 sin θ cos θ = sin 2θ


= 1/2 (sin 2θ)


Since the maximum value of sin 2θ is 1, θ = 45°.


∴ Δ = 1/2 (sin 2(45°))


= 1/2 sin 90°


= 1/2 (1)


∴ Δ = 1/2


Question 32.

If ,
A. f (a) = 0

B. f (b) = 0

C. f (0) = 0

D. f (1) = 0


Answer:

Given


Option (A):



= 0 – 0 + (a – b) [2a (a + c) – 0 (a + b)]


= (a – b) [2a2 + 2ac – 0]


= (a – b) (2a2 + 2ac) ≠ 0


Option (B):



= 0 – (b - a) [(b + a) (0) – (b – c) (2b)] + 0


= - (b – a) [0 - 2b2 + 2bc]


= (a – b) (2b2 – 2bc) ≠ 0


Option (C):



= 0 + a [a (0) – (-bc)] – b [ac – b (0)]


= a [bc] – b [ac]


= abc – abc = 0


Option (D):



= 0 – (1 - a) [(1 + a) (0) – (1 – c) (1 + b)] + (1 – b) [ (1 + a) (1 + c) – 0 (1 + b)]


= - (1 – a) [- (1 – c) (1 + b)] + (1 – b) [(1 + a) (1 + c)]


= (1 – a) (1 – c) (1 + b) + (1 – b) (1 + a) (1 + c) ≠ 0


Hence, option (C) satisfies.


Question 33.

If , then A-1 exists if
A. λ = 2

B. λ ≠ 2

C. λ ≠ -2

D. None of these


Answer:

Given


⇒ |A| = 2 (6 – 5) - λ (0 – 5) + (-3) (0 – 2)


= 2 + 5λ + 6


= 5λ + 8


We know that A-1 exists if A is non – singular matrix i.e. |A| ≠ 0.


∴ 5λ + 8 ≠ 0


⇒ 5λ ≠ -8



So, A-1 exists if and only if .


Question 34.

If A and B are invertible matrices, then which of the following is not correct?
A. adj A = |A|. A-1

B. det (A)-1 = [det (A)]-1

C. (AB)-1 = B-1 A-1

D. (A + B)-1 = B-1 + A-1


Answer:

Given A and B are invertible matrices.


Consider (AB) B-1 A-1


⇒ (AB) B-1 A-1 = A(BB-1) A-1


= AIA-1 = (AI) A-1


= AA-1 = I


⇒ (AB)-1 = B-1 A-1 … option (C)


Also AA-1 = I


⇒ |AA-1| = |I|


⇒ |A| |A-1| = 1



∴ det (A)-1 = [det (A)]-1 … (B)


We know that


⇒ adj A = |A|. A-1 … option (A)



But


∴ (A + B)-1 ≠ B-1 + A-1


Hence, option (D) is not correct.


Question 35.

If x, y, z are all different from zero and , then value of x-1 + y-1 + z-1 is
A. x y z

B. x-1 y-1 z-1

Answer:

Given


Applying C1→ C �1 – C3 and C2→ C2 – C3,



Expanding along R1,


⇒ x [y (1 + z) + z] – 0 + 1 (yz) = 0


⇒ xy + xyz + xz + yz = 0


Dividing by xyz on both sides,




Hence, option (D) satisfies.

= x [x2 – (x + y) (x + 2y)] – (x + y) [(x + 2y) (x) – (x + y)2] + (x + 2y) [(x + 2y)2 – x (x + y)]


= x [x2 – x2 – 3xy – 2y2] – (x + y) [x2 + 2xy – x2 – 2xy – y2] + (x + 2y) [x2 + 4xy + 4y2 – x2 – xy]


= x [-3xy – 2y2] – (x + y) [-y2] + (x + 2y) [3xy + 4y2]


= -3x2y – 2xy2 + xy2 + y3 +3x2y + 4xy2 + 6xy2 + 8y3


= 9y3 + 9xy2


= 9y2 (x + y) … option (B)


Hence, option B satisfies.

= 1 [2a2 + 4] + 2 [4a] + 5 [8] = 86


= 2a2 + 4 + 8a + 40 = 86


= 2a2 + 8a + 44 = 86


= 2a2 + 8a = 42


= 2 (a2 + 4a) = 42


= (a2 + 4a) = 21


⇒ a2 + 4a – 21 = 0


⇒ (a + 7) (a – 3) = 0


∴ a = -7 or 3


Sum of these numbers is -7 + 3 = -4. [Option (C)]
