Question: How many words of different 4 letters can be formed out of 7 capital letters, 3 vowels and 8 consonants, if each word starts with a capital letter and contains at least one vowel? Answer: Any capital letter can be chosen as the first letter of each wor..

A square matrix A=[a i j ] n x n is called an identity or unit matrix if (2) a i j =1 for all i = j In other words a square matrix each of whose diagonal elements is unity and each of whose non-diagonal elements is equal to zero is called an identity or unit matrix. The identity ..

[A i j ] where A i j is the co-factor of the element a i j . Adjoint of A is denoted by Adj A. Note that the concept of adj is only for square matrix. A square matrix A is said to be non-singular if |A| 0. Let A be a square matrix of order n. If there exists a square matrix B of order n, such that ..

Matrices - Consider the arrangement In this arrangement, there are two rows and four columns. The number 3 lies in the 2 n d row and 4 t h column. Each number has a fixed position. Matrix A has 2 rows and 3 columns and is thus of order 2 x 3. Matrix B has 3 rows and 2 columns and is thus of order 3..

Question 1 - Question: From a class of 32 students, 4 are to be chosen for a competition. In how many ways can this be done? Answer: We are to select 4 students from 32. This selection can done ..

A set of numbers arranged in a definite order according to some definite rule is called a sequence . Sequences have wide applications. For example, the amount of money in a fixed deposit in a bank, over a number of years increases in a sequenc..

C(n,r) is the required combination by definition. Each of these combinations consists of a group of r dissimilar things, which can be arranged among themselves in P(r,r) = r! ways. But the number of permutations of n different things taken r at a time is P(n,r)..

Let A = [a ij ] be a square matrix. We can associate with the square matrix A, a determinant which is formed by exactly the same array of elements of the matrix A. A determinant formed by the same array of elements of the square matrix A is called the determinant of the square matrix A and is denot..
