* Row Matrix : A matrix which has one row is called row matrix. A  [a ij ]1n
* Column Matrix : A matrix which has one column is called column matrix. A  [a ij ]m 1 .
* Square Matrix: A matrix in which number of rows are equal to number of columns, is called a
square matrix A  [a ij ]m m
* Diagonal Matrix : A square matrix is called a Diagonal Matrix if all the elements, except the
diagonal elements are zero. A  [a ij ]n  n , where a ij = 0 ,i j. a ij 0 ,i = j.
* Scalar Matrix: A square matrix is called scalar matrix it all the elements, except diagonal elements are
zero and diagonal elements are some non-zero quantity. A  [a ij ]n  n , where a ij  0 if i  j. and a ij =k , i =
j.
* Identity or Unit Matrix : A square matrix in which all the non-diagonal elements are zero and
diagonalelements are unity is called identity or unit matrix.
* Null Matrices : A matrices in which all element are zero.
* Equal Matrices : Two matrices are said to be equal if they have same order and all their corresponding
elements are equal.
* Sum of two Matrices :If A = [aij] and B = [bij] are two matrices of the same order, say m × n, then, the
sum of the two matrices A and B is defined as a matrix
C = [cij]m× n, wherecij= aij+ bij, for all possible values ofiand j.
* Multiplication of a matrix :
kA = k [aij] m × n= [k (aij)] m × n
* Negative of a matrix is denoted by –A. We define–A = (– 1) A.
* Difference of matrices :If A = [aij], B = [bij] are two matrices of the same order, say m × n, then
difference A – B is defined as a matrix D = [dij], where dij= aij– bij,for all value of iand j.
*Properties of matrix addition :
(i) Commutative Law :If A = and B are matrices of the same order, then A + B = B + A.

(iii)Existence of identity: Let A be an m × n matrix and O be an m × n zero matrix,
then A + O = O + A = A. i.e. O is the additive identity for matrix addition.
(iv) Existence of inverse :Let A be any matrix, then we have another matrix as – A such that
A + (– A) = (– A) + A= O. So – A is the additive inverse of A or negative of A.

* Skew symmetric Matrix : A square matrix is said to be skew symmetric if AT = – A.
If A  [a ij ]m  m , then a ij  a ji for all i, j.
* Elementary Operation (Transformation) of a Matrix:
(i) Interchange of any two rows or two columns :Ri↔ Rj ,Ci↔ Cj.
* Multiplication of the elements of any row or column by a non-zero number:

Now A + A = + = ∴ 2 A + A′ = =P
5 4 0 4 5 8 5/2 4
2 0 2 5 0 −5 1 0 −5/2
A − A′ = − = ∴ 2 A − A′ = =Q
5 4 0 4 5 0 5/2 0
So, Correct option is option (c).
Q.2. If A is 2 × 3 matrix such that AB and AB′ both are defined, then find the order of the matrix B
(a) 2 × 3 (b) 3 × 3 (c)2 × 2 (d) Not defined
Solution:Let order of B bem × n
 AB is defined, ∴ No. of columns in A = No. of rows in B
⇒3=m
Order of B′ = n × m
Again  AB′ is defined, ∴ No. of columns in A = No. of rows in B′
⇒3=n
So, order of B = m × n = 3 × 3.
∴ Correct option is (b).

(i) Case Based Study Question:

[Link] promote the usage of house toilets in villages especially for women, an organisation tried to generate
awareness among the villagers through (i) house calls (ii) letters and (iii) announcements

The cost for each mode per attempt is (i) Rs 50 (ii) Rs 20 (iii)Rs40 respectively
The number of attempts made in the villages X, Y and Z are given below:
(i) (ii) (iii)
X 400 300 100
Y 300 250 75
Z 500 400 150
Also the chance of making of toilets corresponding to one attempt of given modes is:
(i) 2% (ii) 4% (iii) 20%
Let A, B, C be the cost incurred by organisation in three villages respectively.
Based on the above information answer the following questions
(A) Form a required matrix on the basis of the given information.
(B) Form a matrix, related to the number of toilets expected in villagers X, Y, Z after the promotion
campaign.
(C) What is total amount spent by the organisation in all three villages X, Y and Z
OR
What are the total number of toilets expected after promotion campaign?
Solution:(A) Rs A, Rs B and Rs C are the cost incurred by the organisation for villages X, Y, Z respectively,
therefore matrix equation will be
400 300 100 50 A
300 250 75 20 = B
500 400 150 40 C
(B) Let number of toilets expected in villagers X, Y, Z be x, y, z respectively
Therefore required matrix is
x 400 300 100 2/100
y = 300 250 75 4/100
z 500 400 150 20/100
A 400 300 100 50 20000 + 6000 + 4000 30000
(C). B = 300 250 75 20 = 15000 + 5000 + 3000 = 23000
C 500 400 150 40 25000 + 8000 + 6000 39000
Total money spent = 30000 + 23000 + 39000 = 92000 Rs
OR
From part (B) the required matrix for the expected number of toilets is:

21
 x 400 300 100 2/100 8 + 12 + 20 40
y = 300 250 75 4/100 = 6 + 10 + 15 = 31
z 500 400 150 20/100 10 + 16 + 30 56
So, total number of toilets expected in 3 villages are = 40 + 31 + 56 = 127

Case Study Based Question
12. 1. Two farmers Ramakishan and Gurucharan Singh cultivate only three
varieties of rice namely Basmati, Permal and Naura. The sale (in Rs) of these
varieties of rice by both the farmers in the month of September and October are
given by the following matrices A and B
10000 20000 30000 Ramakishan
September sale (in Rs)A =
50000 30000 10000 Gurucharan
5000 10000 6000 Ramakishan
October sale (in Rs)B =
20000 10000 10000 Gurucharan
Answer the following questions using above information:
(i) Compute the total sales in September and October and write answer in terms of
A and B.
(ii) What is the value of A23 ?
1
(iii) Determine the decrease in sales from September to October in terms of
A and B.
1
(iv) If Ramakishan receives 2% profit on gross sales, compute his profit (in Rs) for
1
each variety sold in October using matrix method.
