Directions: In the following questions, A statement of Assertion (A) is followed by
a statement of Reason (R). Mark the correct choice as.
(A) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A
(B) Both A and R are true but R is NOT the correct explanation of A
(C) A is true but R is false
(D) A is false and R is True

14. Assertion (A): If A is a square matrix such that A2 = A, then (I + A)2 – 3A = I


Reason (R): AI = IA = A

15. Assertion (A): is a scalar matrix.


Reason (R): If all the elements of the principal diagonal are equal, it is called a
scalar matrix.

16. Assertion (A): (A + B)2 ≠ A2 + 2AB + B2.


Reason (R): Generally AB ≠ BA

17. A and B are two matrices such that both AB and BA are defined.
Assertion (A): (A + B)(A – B) = A2 – B2
Reason(R): (A + B)(A – B) = A2 – AB + BA – B2

18.Let A and B be two symmetric matrices of order 3.

Assertion (A): A(BA) and (AB)A are symmetric matrices.


Reason (R): AB is symmetric matrix if matrix multiplication of A with B is
commutative
0 2𝑏 −2
19.Assertion (A): If the matrix P = [ 3 1 3 ]is a symmetric matrix1 then a
3𝑎 3 3
= −23 and b = 32
Reason (R): If P is a symmetric matrix, then P’ = P.

20.Assertion (A): If A is a symmetric matrix, then B’AB is also symmetric.


Reason (R): (ABC)’ = C’B’A’
21. Assertion (A): If A and B are symmetric matrices, then AB – BA is a skew
symmetric matrix
Reason (R): (AB)’ = B’A’
