5. Let AX = B be a system of linear equations where A is an m×n
matrix B is an n×1 column matrix which if the following is
false?
a) The system has a solution, if ρ(A) = ρ(A/B)
b) If m = n and B is a non-zero vector then the system has a
unique solution.
c) If m < n and B is a zero vector then the system has infinitely
many solutions.
d) The system will have a trivial solution when m = n, B is the
zero vector and rank of A is n.
Answer: (b)
Solution:
Given that × ×1 = ×1
⇒ × ×1 = ×1( = )
In this case, the given system may (or) may not have unique
solution.
If A is singular then unique solution does not exist. And if A is
non- singular then unique solution exists.

7


Solution:
f (x) = x2 – x – 2 in [-4, 4]
f'(x) = 2x – 1 = 0 x = ½ is a stationary point
f "(x) = 2 > 0 ⇒ f(x) has a minimum at x = 1/2
∴The greatest value lies at extreme points here f(-4) = 18, f(4) =
