1. A matrix A for which AP = 0 where P is a positive integer is called (a) unit matrix (b) nilpotent (c) symmetric (d) skew symmetric 2. Let A be an n n skew-symmetric matrix then A + AT = (a) 0 (b) 2AT (c) 1 (d) 2A 3. (AB)T = (a) (A + B)T (b) B T AT (c) AT B T (d) AT B T 4. A square matrix A is called orthogonal if (a) AT = A (b) A = AT (c) AA1 = I (d) A2 = A 5. If Amn and Bpq are two matrices state the conditions for the existence of AB (a) n = p (b) n<p (c) n=p (d) n>p 6. A square matrix is said to upper triangular matrix if (a) aij = 0 , i < j (b) aij = 0, i = j (c) aij = 1 , i = j (d) aij = 0 , i > j 7. The rank of a matrix in Echelon form is equal to (a) Number of non - zero rows (b) Number of diagonal elements (c) Number of non-zero elements (d) Number of non zero -columns 8. If A = LU, then A1 = (a) U 1 L1 (b) L1 U 1 (c) 1/ (LU) (d) (LU )1 9. The system of equations x + y + 3z = 0, 4x + 3y + 8z = 0, 2x + y + 2z = 0 is (a) unique solution (b) In consistent (c) no solution (d) consistent 10. The system 2x + y + z = 0 , x + y + 3z = 0 and 4x + 3y +z = 0 has trivial solution then (a) = 8 (b) = 6 (c) = 8 (d) = 6 1 6 11. The eigen values of A = 0 1 0 0 (a) -1, 2, 3 (b) 1, 2, 3 (c) - 1, 1, 7 (d) 1, 1, 7 1 0 12. The product of the eigen values of A = 0 (a) -1 (b) 1 (c) 2 (d) -2 1 0 13. If A = 0 (a) 12 (b) 6 (c) 10 (d) 11 1 2 3 14. The eigen vector corresponding to the eigen value = 1 for the matrix 0 4 7 is 0 0 7 (a) ( 1, 1, 1 ) (b) (k, 0, 0 ) (c) (0, k, 0 ) (d) ( 0, 0, 0 ) 15. A and B are similar matrices and if X is an eigen vector of A then the eigen vector of the matrix B is (a) P1 X (b) AX (c) P1 AB (d) P1 AX 16. By Cayley Hamilton theorem, matrix A = (a) A2 - 7A + 6 = 0 (b) A2 - 7A - 6 = 0 (c) A2 - 7A+ 2 = 0 (d) A2 - 7A - 2 = 0 17. If A = (a) (b) (c) (d) 1 2 2 1 , then by Cayley- Hamilton theorem, A8 is 5 4 1 2 , satises its characteristic equation. Which is 3 1 2 6 then the sum of the eigen values of A and AT is 0 3 2 0 1 5 is 0 2 8 8 are 7

19. If D = B1 AB , where D is the diagonal matrix then An = (a) (B1 DB)n (b) B Dn B 1 (c) (B D B1 )n (d) B1 Dn B 20. The normalized modal matrix is obtained by dividing (a) each column by sum of the diagonal elements (b) each row by length of a vector (c) each column by length of a vector (d) each row by sum of the diagonal elements
