IIT JEE Maths Practice Paper 20 – Matrices and Determinants – PYQs series
Matrices and Determinants are essential topics in JEE Mathematics that test conceptual understanding and application in solving systems of equations, transformations, and inverse operations. This practice set is designed to reinforce these foundational concepts. Topic: Matrices and Determinants 1. If A = [[2, 3], [4, 5]], then |A| is: a) 2 b) -2 c) -1 d) 10 2. If A is a 2×2 matrix such that A² = I, then A is: a) Invertible b) Non-invertible c) Null matrix d) Diagonal 3. For a 3×3 matrix A, the value of |kA| is: a) k³|A| b) k²|A| c) k|A| d) |A| 4. If A is a singular matrix, then |A| is: a) 1 b) -1 c) 0 d) Infinite 5. If A and B are square matrices of the same order and AB = BA, then: a) A and B are equal b) A is symmetric c) A and B commute d) B is a zero matrix 6. If A is an orthogonal matrix, then A⁻¹ is: a) A b) Aᵀ c) -A d) None of these 7. The adjoint of a diagonal matrix is: a) Same diagonal matrix b) Zero matrix c) Inverse matrix d) Transpose 8.
