Matrices are a fundamental concept in linear algebra, used extensively in mathematics, physics, engineering, computer science, and various other fields. A matrix is a rectangular array of numbers, symbols, or expressions arranged in rows and columns. The numbers or elements inside a matrix are enclosed within square brackets and can be used to represent systems of linear equations, transformations, and many real-world data structures. Operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and finding determinants and inverses of matrices help solve complex mathematical problems efficiently.

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
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
Solution:
Given:
Equating corresponding entries, we have
2x - y = 10 -(1)
3x + y = 5 -(2)
Adding eq.(1) and (2), we have 5x = 15 ⇒ x = 3
Putting x = 3 in eq.(2)
9 + y = 5 ⇒ y = -4
Therefore, x = 3 and y = -4
Solution:
Given:
Equating corresponding entries, we have
3x = x + 4 ⇒ 2x = 4 ⇒ x = 2
and 3y = 6 + x + y
⇒ 2y = 6 + 2
⇒ 2y = 8
⇒ y = 4
and 3z = -1 + z + w ⇒ 2z - w = - 1 -(1)
and 3w = 2w + 3 ⇒ w = 3
Putting w = 3 in eq(i), 2z - 3 = -1
⇒ 2z = 2 ⇒ z = 1
Therefore, x = 2, y = 4, z = 1, w = 3
Solution:

3k - 2 = 1
3k = 3
k = 1
and 4k = 4
k = 1
and -4 = -2k - 2
2k = 2
k = 1
Therefore, k = 1

L.H.S. = R.H.S.
Hence, Proved.
Solution:
Let invested in the first bond = Rs x
Then, the sum of money invested in the second bond = ₹(30000 – x)
It is given that the first bond pays 5% interest per year, and the second bond pays 7% interest per year.
Thus, in order to obtain an annual total interest of ₹1800, we get:
⇒ 5x/100 + 7(30000 − x)/100 = 1800
⇒ 5x + 210000 -7x = 180000
⇒ 210000 -2x = 180000
⇒ 2x = 210000 – 180000
⇒ 2x = 30000
⇒ x = 15000
Therefore, in order to obtain an annual total interest of ₹1800, the trust fund should invest ₹15000 in the first bond and the remaining ₹15000 in the second bond.
Hence, the amount invested in each type of the bonds can be represented in matrix form with each column corresponding to a different type of bond as:
X =
Hence, the interest obtained after one year can be expressed in matrix representation as:
⇒ 5x/100 + 7(30000 − x)/100 = 2000
⇒ 5x + 210000 − 7x = 200000
⇒ 210000 − 2x = 200000
⇒ 2x = 210000 – 200000
⇒ 2x = 10000
⇒ x = 5000
Therefore, in order to obtain an annual total interest of ₹2000, the trust fund should invest ₹5000 in the first bond and the remaining ₹(30000 − 5000) = ₹25000 in the second bond.

(A) k = 3, p = n (B) k is arbitrary, p = 2
(C) p is arbitrary, k = 3 (D) k = 2, p = 3
Solution:
Since, Matrices P and Y are of the orders p × k and 3 × k respectively.
Therefore, matrix PY will be defined if k = 3.
Then, PY will be of the order p × k = p × 3.
Matrices W and Y are of the orders n × 3 and 3 × k = 3 × 3 respectively.
As, the number of columns in W is equal to the number of rows in Y, Matrix WY is well-defined and is of the order n × 3.
Matrices PY and WY can be added only when their orders are the same.
Therefore, PY is of the order p × 3 and WY is of the order n × 3.
Thus, we must have p = n.
Therefore, k = 3 and p = n are the restrictions on n, k and p so that PY + WY will be defined.
Therefore, answer is (A)
(A) p × 2 (B) 2 × n
(C) n × 3 (D) p × n
Solution:
Matrix X is of the order 2 × n.
Therefore, matrix 7X is also of the same order.
Matrix Z is of order 2 × p = 2 × n -(∵ p = n)
Then, Matrix 5Z is also of the same order.
Now, both the matrices 7X and 5Z are of the order 2 × n.
Thus, matrix 7X – 5Z is well- defined and is of the order 2 × n.
Therefore, answer is (B)
