- 1.Farmer A had 4 ducks, 3 chickens and 2 cows while Farmer B had 9 cows, 4 pigs and 7 chickens. A matrix can be formed to represent the above data. Which one of the following would be a possible order of the matrix?
- A.
- 2.Which of the following is impossible?
- A.
Scalar Multiplication
- B.
Matrix Multiplication
- C.
Scalar Division
- D.
Matrix Division
- 3.What is an identity matrix and why is it called an identity matrix?
- A.
An identity matrix is a matrix with all diagonal entries as 1 and all non-diagonal entries as 0. It is called an identity matrix as it would give a null matrix as a result when multiplied by other matrix.
- B.
An identity matrix is a matrix with all diagonal entries as 1 and all non-diagonal entries as 0. It is called an identity matrix as it would not change the original matrix when multiplied by it.
- C.
An identity matrix is a matrix with all its entries as 0. It is called an identity matrix as it would give a null matrix as a result when multiplied by any other matrix.
- D.
An identity matrix is a matrix with all its entries as 0. It is called an identity matrix as it would not change the original matrix when multiplied by it.
