EXERCISE 3.1
1. In the matrix 𝐴 = [
2 5 19 −7
35 −25
212
√3 1 −5 17
], write:
(i) The order of the matrix,
(ii) The number of elements,
(iii) Write the elements 𝑎13, 𝑎21, 𝑎33, 𝑎24, 𝑎23.
Solution:
Given:
𝐴 = [
2 5 19 −7
35 −25
212
√3 1 −5 17
]
Number of rows = 3
Number of columns = 4
Step 1:
(i) The order of the matrix=number of rows × number of columns
Hence the order of the given matrix = 3 × 4
Step 2:
(𝑖𝑖) Since, the order of matrix is 3 × 4
So, the number of elements = 3 × 4 = 12
(𝑖𝑖𝑖) From the given matrix, we can observe the elements:
𝑎13 = 19
𝑎21 = 35
𝑎33 = −5
𝑎24 = 12
𝑎23 =5

2. If a matrix has 24 elements, what are the possible orders it can have? What, if it has 13 elements?
Solution:
Given:
The number of elements = 24
Step 1:
Therefore, the possible orders are as follows:
1 × 24, 2 × 12, 3 × 8, 4 × 6, 6 × 4,8 × 3, 12 × 2 and 24 × 1
Step 2:
Now, if it has 13 elements,
then the possible orders are 13 × 1 and 1 × 13
3. If a matrix has 18 elements, what are the possible orders it can have? What, if it has 5 elements?
Solution:
Given:
Total number of elements in matrix = 18
Step 1:
Therefore, the possible orders are as follows:
1 × 18, 2 × 9, 3 × 6, 6 × 3, 9 × 2 and 18 × 1
Step 2:
So, if it has 5 elements,
then the possible orders are 5 × 1 and 1 × 5

Solution:
Given:
𝐴 = [1 2 −35 0 21 −1 1
], 𝐵 = [3 −1 24 2 52 0 3
] and 𝐶 = [4 1 20 3 21 −2 3

Step 1:
So, 𝐴 + 𝐵 = [1 2 −35 0 21 −1 1

]
= [1 + 3 2 − 1 −3 + 25 + 4 0 + 2 2 + 51 + 2 −1 + 0 1 + 3

Step 1:
⇒ [2𝑥3𝑥

19. A trust fund has ₹ 30,000 that must be invested in two different types of bonds. The first bond pays 5% interest per year, and the second bond pays 7% interest per year. Using matrix multiplication, determine how to divide ₹ 30,000 among the two types of bonds. If the trust fund must obtain an annual total interest of: [5 Marks]
(a) ₹1800
(b) ₹2000
Solution:
Given:
Trust fund= ₹ 30,000
First bond pays interest = 5% per year
Second bond pays interest = 7% per year
Step 1:
Let the amount invested in first bond = ₹ 𝑥
The amount invested in second bond = ₹(30000 − 𝑥)
(𝑎) If the total annual interest is ₹1800, then
Investment in Bonds (in ₹) Annual Interest Rate Interest (in ≤]
[𝑥
30,000 − 𝑥] [5%7%

Step 2:
By solving, we get
𝑥 × 5% + (30000 − 𝑥) × 7%=1800
⇒5𝑥

100(30000 − 𝑥) = 1800
⇒ 5𝑥 + 210000 − 7𝑥 = 180000
⇒ −2𝑥 = −30000
𝑥 = 15000
Step 3:
So, amount investment at 5% = ₹15000
The amount investment at 7% = ₹(30000 − 𝑥)
= ₹(30000 − 15000) = ₹15000

Step 5:
By solving, we get
𝑥 × 5% + (30000 − 𝑥) × 7% = 2000
⇒5𝑥
100+
7
100(30000 − 𝑥) = 2000
⇒ 5𝑥 + 210000 − 7𝑥 = 200000
⇒ −2𝑥 = −10000
⇒ 𝑥 = 5000
Step 6:
So, amount investment at 5% = ₹5000
The amount investment at 7% = ₹(30000 − 𝑥)
= ₹(30000 − 5000) = ₹25000
Therefore, the amount invested in first bond is ₹ 5000 and second bond is ₹25000. [𝟏

respectively.
The restriction on 𝑛, 𝑘 and 𝑝 so that 𝑃𝑌 + 𝑊𝑌 will be defined are: [2 Marks]
(A) 𝑘 = 3, 𝑝 = 𝑛
(B) 𝑘 is arbitrary, 𝑝 = 2
(C) 𝑝 is arbitrary, 𝑘 = 3
(D) 𝑘 = 2, 𝑝 = 3
Solution:
Given:
The order of 𝑃 = 𝑝 × 𝑘
The order of 𝑌 = 3 × 𝑘.
Step 1:
So, 𝑃𝑌 will be defined if, 𝑘 = 3.
Hence, the order of 𝑃𝑌 is 𝑝 × 𝑘.
Step 2:
Order of 𝑊 = 𝑛 × 3 and order of 𝑌 = 3 × 𝑘
According to order, WY is defined and its order is 𝑛 × 𝑘.
𝑃𝑌 + 𝑊𝑌 is defined, if the order of PY and WY are equal.
⇒ 𝑝 × 𝑘 = 𝑛 × 𝑘
⇒ 𝑝 = 𝑛,
Therefore, the option (A) is correct.

Step 1:
During the addition or subtraction, the order of matrix doesn’t change.
Therefore, the order of 7𝑋 − 5𝑍 = order of 𝑋 = order of 𝑍

(D) 𝐴𝐵 = 𝐵𝐴 = 𝐼
Solution:
Given:
A and B will be inverse of each other.
𝐴−1 = 𝐵 and 𝐵−1 = 𝐴
Step 1:
We know that,
𝐴𝐴−1 = 𝐼 [∵ A−1 = B]
𝐴𝐵 = 𝐼
Step 2:
𝐵𝐵−1 = 𝐼 [∵ B−1 = A]
𝐵𝐴 = 𝐼
So, 𝐴𝐵 = 𝐵𝐴 = 𝐼.

Total revenue of each market = Total product × Unit selling price
= [10000 2000 180006000 20000 8000

Step 3:
= [₹25000 + ₹3000 + ₹18000₹15000 + ₹30000 + ₹8000

Thus, the revenue of market I is ₹46,000 and that of the market II is ₹53,000.

Step 2:
Gross profit from each market = Total product × Unit selling price
= [10000 2000 180006000 20000 8000

= [₹20000 + ₹2000 + ₹9000₹12000 + ₹20000 + ₹4000

Step 3:
Hence, the total revenue from market I is ₹46,000 and that of the market II is ₹31,000.
Therefore, the gross profit of market I=Revenue – Cost
= ₹46000 − ₹31000 = ₹15000
Therefore, the gross profit of market II = ₹53000 − ₹36000 = ₹17000
