Class 12 NCERT Solutions- Mathematics Part I – Chapter 3 Matrices – Exercise 3.2 | Set 1
Question 1. Let
Find each of the following:
(i) A + B
(ii) A – B
(iii) 3A – C
(iv) AB
(v) BA
Solution:
(i)
(ii)
(iii)
(iv)
(v)
Question 2. Compute the following:
Solution:
(i)
(ii)
(iii)
(iv)
Question 3. Compute the indicated products.
Solution:
(i)
(ii)
(iii)
(iv)
(v)
(vi)
Question 4. If
, then compute (A + B) and (B – C). Also, verify that A + (B – C) = (A + B) – C.
Solution:
Now we have to show A + (B – C) = (A + B) – C
L.H.S = R.H.S.
Hence, Proved
Question 5. If
, then compute 3A – 5B.
Solution:
Question 6. Simplify 
Solution:
= 1 = identity matrix
Question 7. Find X and Y if
(i) 
(ii) 
Solution:
(i) Given:
Adding (1) and (2), we get
(ii) Given:
Now, multiply equation (1) by 2 and equation (2) by 3 we get
Subtracting equation (4) from (3), we get,
Question 8. Find X, if
and 
Solution:
Question 9. Find X and Y, if 
Solution:
Given:
Equating corresponding entries, we have
2 + y = 5 and 2x + 2 = 8
y = 5 – 2 and 2(x + 1) = 8
y = 3 and x + 1 = 4
Therefore, y = 3 and x = 3
Question 10. Solve the equation for x, y, z and t, if 
Solution:
Given:
On comparing both sides, we have
2x + 3 = 9 ⇒ 2x = 9 – 3 ⇒ 2x = 6 ⇒ x = 3
2z – 3 = 15 ⇒ 2z = 15 + 3 ⇒ 2z = 18 ⇒ z = 9
2y = 12 ⇒ y = 6
2t + 6 = 18 ⇒ 2t = 18 – 6 ⇒ 2t = 12 ⇒ t = 6
Therefore, x = 3, y = 6, z = 9, t = 6
