-2& 1& 2\\
-2& -2& -1\\
\end{bmatrix}\), then (AT)A = I

(a) Assertion is correct, reason is correct; reason is a correct explanation for assertion.
(b) Assertion is correct, reason is correct; reason is not a correct explanation for assertion
(c) Assertion is correct, reason is incorrect
(d) Assertion is incorrect, reason is correct.

\(\left[\begin{array}{rrr} 2 & 2 & \frac{5}{2} \\ 2 & -1 & \frac{3}{2} \\ \frac{5}{2} & \frac{3}{2} & 2 \end{array}\right]+\left[\begin{array}{rrr} 0 & 1 & \frac{-3}{2} \\ -1 & 0 & \frac{1}{2} \\ \frac{3}{2} & \frac{-1}{2} & 0 \end{array}\right]\)

\(\left[ \begin{matrix} 1 & -2 & -3 \\ -2 & 4 & 7 \\ -3 & 5 & 9 \end{matrix} \right] \)
3.
\(\text {Let } \sin ^{-1} \frac{3}{5}=x . \text { Then, } \sin x=\frac{3}{5}\)
\(\Rightarrow \cos x=\sqrt{1-\left(\frac{3}{5}\right)^{2}}=\frac{4}{5}\)
\(\therefore \tan x=\frac{3}{4}\)
\(\therefore x=\tan ^{-1} \frac{3}{4} \Rightarrow \sin ^{-1} \frac{3}{5}=\tan ^{-1} \frac{3}{4}\)
Now, we have :
\(\text {L.H.S. }=2 \sin ^{-1} \frac{3}{5}=2 \tan ^{-1} \frac{3}{4} \)
\(=\tan ^{-1}\left(\frac{2 \times \frac{3}{4}}{1-\left(\frac{3}{4}\right)^{2}}\right) \quad\left[2 \tan ^{-1} x=\tan ^{-1} \frac{2 x}{1-x^{2}}\right] \)
\(=\tan ^{-1}\left(\frac{\frac{3}{2}}{\left.\frac{16-9}{16}\right)}=\tan ^{-1}\left(\frac{3}{2} \times \frac{16}{7}\right)\right. \)
\(=\tan ^{-1} \frac{24}{7}=\mathrm{R} . \mathrm{H.S} . \)
4.
The matrix A has 2 columns which is equal to the number of rows of B.
Hence AB is defined. Now
\(\mathrm{AB}=\left[\begin{array}{lll} 6(2)+9(7) & 6(6)+9(9) & 6(0)+9(8) \\ 2(2)+3(7) & 2(6)+3(9) & 2(0)+3(8) \end{array}\right]\)
\(=\left[\begin{array}{ccc} 12+63 & 36+81 & 0+72 \\ 4+21 & 12+27 & 0+24 \end{array}\right]=\left[\begin{array}{ccc} 75 & 117 & 72 \\ 25 & 39 & 24 \end{array}\right]\)
5.
Let \({ cot }^{ -1 }\left( -\frac { 1 }{ \sqrt { 3 } } \right) =y\), Then \(\cot y=\frac{-1}{\sqrt{3}}=-\cot \left(\frac{\pi}{3}\right)=\cot \left(\pi-\frac{\pi}{3}\right)=\cot \left(\frac{2 \pi}{3}\right)\)
We know that the range of principal value branch of cot–1 is (0, π) and \(\cot \left(\frac{2 \pi}{3}\right)=\frac{-1}{\sqrt{3}}\)
Hence, principal value of \({ cot }^{ -1 }\left( -\frac { 1 }{ \sqrt { 3 } } \right) =\frac { 2\pi }{ 3 } .\)
6.
We know that if a matrix is of the order m × n, it has mn elements. Thus, to find all the possible orders of a matrix having 18 elements, we have to find all the ordered pairs of natural numbers whose product is 18.
The ordered pairs are: (1, 18), (18, 1), (2, 9), (9, 2), (3, 6), and (6, 3)
Hence, the possible orders of a matrix having 18 elements are:
1 × 18, 18 × 1, 2 × 9, 9 × 2, 3 × 6, and 6 × 3
(1, 5) and (5, 1) are the ordered pairs of natural numbers whose product is 5.
Hence, the possible orders of a matrix having 5 elements are 1 × 5 and 5 × 1.
7.
\(3 \sin ^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\right)+2 \cos ^{-1}\left(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\right)+\cos ^{-1}(0) \)
\(=3 \times \frac{\pi}{4}+2 \times \frac{\pi}{6}+\frac{\pi}{2} \)
\( =\frac{3 \pi}{4}+\frac{\pi}{3}+\frac{\pi}{2} \)
\( =\frac{9 \pi+4 \pi+6 \pi}{12}=\frac{19 \pi}{12}\)
8.
a = 8, b = 8

As y = xy ⇒ log y = y log x
⇒ \(\frac { 1 }{ y } .{ y }^{ ' }=\frac { y }{ x } +logx.{ y }^{ ' }\)
\(\Rightarrow { y }^{ ' }\left[ \frac { 1 }{ y } -log \ x \right] \)
\(=\frac { y }{ x } \Rightarrow x(1-y \ log \ x){ y }^{ ' }={ y }^{ 2 }\)
16.
y = tan-1 \(\left( \frac { 1-{ x }^{ 2 } }{ 1+{ x }^{ 2 } } \right) \)
= tan-1 \(\left( \frac { \pi }{ 4 } \right) -{ tan }^{ -1 }{ x }^{ 2 }\)
\({ y }^{ ' }=0-\frac { -1 }{ 1+{ x }^{ 4 } } 2x=\frac { -2x }{ 1+{ x }^{ 4 } } \)
17.
As \(\lim _{ x\rightarrow 0 }{ \left( \frac { sinx }{ x } +cosx \right) } \)
= 1 + 1 = 2 2k
⇒ k = 1
18.
As in skew symmetric matrix, aij = -aji
⇒ aii = – aii
⇒ 2aii = 0
⇒ aii = 0, i.e. diagonal elements are zeroes.
19.
As total elements are 6 and each entry can be done in 2 ways. Hence, total possibilities = 26 = 64.
20.
