Previous Year Question (PYQs)



If $A=\begin{bmatrix}2 & -3 \\ 3 & 5\end{bmatrix}$, then which of the following statements are correct?
A. A is a square matrix
B. $A^{-1}$ exists
C. A is a symmetric matrix
D. $|A|=19$
E. A is a null matrix

Choose the correct answer from the options given below.





Solution

Given

$A=\begin{bmatrix}2 & -3 \ 3 & 5\end{bmatrix}$

1.Order of matrix = $2\times 2$
So, A is a square matrix → True

2.Determinant:

$|A|=(2)(5)-(-3)(3)$

$=10+9=19$

Since $|A|\neq 0$, therefore $A^{-1}$ exists → True

3.Transpose:

$A^T=\begin{bmatrix}2 & 3 \ -3 & 5\end{bmatrix}$

Since $A^T\neq A$, so A is not symmetric → False

4. $|A|=19$ → True

5. A is clearly not a null matrix → False

Correct statements: A, B, D
