Let 3x and 4x be the monthly incomes of Aryan and Babban respectively.
Let 5y and 7y be their monthly expenditures respectively.
As each individual saves Rs. 15000 per month, we have
3x - 5y = 15000 … (i)
4x - 7y = 15000 … (ii)
The above equations can be written in matrix form as follows
Let AX = B, where
Let's find A-1
Therefore, x = Rs. 30000 and y = Rs. 15000
So, monthly income of Aryan = Rs. 90,000 and monthly income of Babban is Rs. 120,000.

Given: A2 = A
(2 + A)3 - 19A
= 8I + A3 + 12A + 6A2 - 19A
= A3 + 6A2 - 7A + 8I
= A2 + 6A - 7A + 8I
= A - A + 8I
= 8I
Hence, (2 + A)3 - 19A = 8I.

To prove
For n = 1,
Therefore, it is true for n = 1.
Suppose the result is true for n = k
Take n = k + 1
Thus, is true for all n ∈ N.

Let 3x and 4x be the monthly incomes of Aryan and Babbar respectively.
Let 5y and 7y be their monthly expenditures respectively.
As each individual saves Rs. 15000 per month, we have
3x - 5y = 15000 … (i)
4x - 7y = 15000 … (ii)
The above equations can be written in matrix form as follows
Let AX = B, where
Let's find A-1
Therefore, x = Rs. 30000 and y = Rs. 15000
So, monthly income of Aryan = Rs. 90,000 and monthly income of Babbar is Rs. 120,000.
This encourages us to understand the power of savings and we should save certain money for future.
Solution 79
Let Rs. x and Rs. y is being invested in the first and second bonds respectively.
Let A be the investment matrix and B be the interest matrix.
Therefore,
The annual interest = AB =
If the interest had been interchanged, the total interest would be Rs. 100 less.
Equations (i) and (ii) can be expressed as
PX = Q, where
Now, |P| = 100 - 144 = -44
So, inverse of P exist.
Thus, x = 10000 and y = 15000
Hence, the total amount invested is Rs. 25,000.

Number of elements in a 2 × 2 matrix = 4
The first element can be 1, 2 or 3.
The second element can be 1, 2 or 3.
Similarly, the remaining two elements can take either of the 3 numbers.
So, for every element we have 3 choices.
Therefore, number of ways of writing 1, 2 or 3 in a 2 × 2 matrix is 34 which is 81.
Thus, the number of all possible matrices of order 2 × 2 with each entry 1, 2 or 3 is 81.
Solution 66
Let
Order of matrix P is 1 × 3
Order of matrix Q is 3 × 3
Order of matrix R is 3 × 1
After multiplying P and Q, we'll get an output matrix B of order 1 × 3.
After multiplying B with R, we'll get an output matrix of order 1 × 1.
Hence, the order of matrix A is 1 × 1.
Solution 67
As P is symmetric, we have
As Q is skew-symmetric, we have
Solution 68
Matrix A is order 3 × 2
Matrix B is of order 2 × 4
Then the product matrix AB will have the order 3 × 4.
Solution 69
As matrix A is skew-symmetric
Therefore, -A = AT
Hence, the values of a and b are -2 and 3 respectively.
