1. A matrix A for which AP = 0 where P is a positive integer is called (a) unit matrix (b) skew symmetric (c) symmetric (d) nilpotent 2. (AB)1 = (a) B 1 A1 (b) (BA)1 (c) A1 B 1 (d) B 1 A1 3. Matrix A is said to be skew - symmetric matrix if AT = (a) I (b) AT (c) -A (d) A 1 4. The value of the matrix [4 5 6] 2 is 3 (a) [-4 10 18] (b) [4 10 18] (c) [4 10 -18] (d) [4 -10 18] 5. Let A be an n n symmetric matrix then A + AT = (a) 1 (b) 0 (c) 2AT (d) 2A 4 4 is 3

(a) Idempotent matrix (b) Orthogonal (c) Nilpotent (d) Involutary 7. If I is the identity matrix of order n then det I = (a) 1 (b) 2n (c) n (d) 0 8. The system of equations AX = B has an innite number of solution if (a) R(AB) = R(A) = r < n (b) R(AB) = R(A) > n (c) R(AB) = R(A) = r = n (d) R(AB) = R(A) = r > n 9. If every minor of order r of a matrix A is non-zero, then rank of A is (a) less than or equal to r (b) equal to r (c) less than r (d) greater than or equal to r 10. The number of linearly independent solutions of the linear system A X = 0 is r is rank of A. (a) r (b) n + r (c) n r (d) n 1 6 0 1 11. The eigen values of A = 0 0 (a) 1, 1, 7 (b) -1, 2, 3 (c) 1, 2, 3 (d) - 1, 1, 7 1 12. The product of the eigen values of A = 0 2 (a) 22 (b) 20 (c) 19 (d) 21 13.
