CHAPTER-4 DETERMINANT
SHORT ANSWER TYPE QUESTIONS
1 If A is a square matrix of order 3, |A’| = – 3, then |AA'| =?
|AA'| =|A||A'|=|A||A|=(– 3)( – 3)=9
2 For what value of 𝑥, the matrix: [
5−𝑥 𝑥+1
] is singular?
2 4
For singular matrix, |A|=0
5−𝑥 𝑥+1
∴| |=0
2 4
4(5 − 𝑥) − 2(𝑥 + 1) = 0,
so 𝑥 = 3
3 If A is a square matrix of order 3 such that | adj A | = 64,
find |3A|
| 𝒂𝒅𝒋 𝑨 |=| 𝐀 | 𝒏−𝟏
∴ 64 = | A | 3−1
⇒ 64 = | A |2 ⇒ | A | = ±8
Now, |𝒌𝑨| = 𝐤 𝒏 | 𝐀 |
|3A| = 3 3 | A |=27(±8) = ±216
4 If A is a square matrix of order 3 and |3 A| = K|A|, then write
the value of K
|𝒌𝑨| = 𝐤 𝒏 | 𝐀 |
|3A| = k|A|
3 3 | A |=k|A|
Or, 27| A |=k|A|
⇒ k = 27
5 If A is a square matrix of order 3 and |adj A| = 225, find |A′ |
| 𝒂𝒅𝒋 𝑨 |=| 𝐀 | 𝒏−𝟏
∴ 225 = | A | 3−1
⇒ | A | = ±15
⇒ | A′ | = ±15
6 Using determinates find the equation of the line joining
the points (3,1) and (9,3)
x y 1
Equation of the line joining two points,| x1 y1 1| = 0
x 2 y2 1
x y 1
| 3 1 1| = 0

−2𝑥 + 6𝑦 + 0 = 0 or 𝑥 − 3𝑦 = 0
