MCQ

Assertion (A) : If $A=\left(\begin{array}{ccc}l & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & m & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & n\end{array}\right)$, then
$
A^{-1}=\left(\begin{array}{ccc}
1 / l & 0 & 0 \\
0 & 1 / m & 0 \\
0 & 0 & 1 / n
\end{array}\right)
$
Reason $( R )$ : The inverse of a diagonal matrix is a diagonal matrix.

A
Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
✓
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 but (R) is true.

✓

Answer

Correct option: B.

Both (A) and (R) are true but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).

(b) : $\because A=\left(\begin{array}{ccc}l & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & m & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & n\end{array}\right)$
$\therefore \quad|A|=l m n$ and $\operatorname{adj}(A)=\left(\begin{array}{ccc}m n & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & l n & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & l m\end{array}\right)$
$
\therefore \quad A^{-1}=\frac{\operatorname{adj} A}{|A|}=\left(\begin{array}{ccc}
1 / l & 0 & 0 \\
0 & 1 / m & 0 \\
0 & 0 & 1 / n
\end{array}\right)=\operatorname{diag}\left(\frac{1}{l}, \frac{1}{m}, \frac{1}{n}\right)
$
$\therefore \quad$ Assertion and reason are both correct but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.

Directions : In the following questions, the Assertions $(A)$ and Reason $(s)\ (R)$ have been put forward. Read both the statements carefully and choose the correct alternative from the following :
Assertion : $\text{u}=\text{f}(\cot\text{x})\ \text{f}(1)=\sqrt2$ and $\text{g}(\sqrt{2})=2$ then $\Big(\frac{\text{du}}{\text{dv}}\Big)_{\text{x}=\frac{\text{x}}{4}}=1.$
Reason : If $u = f(x), v = g(x)$ then derivative of $\text{f w.r.t}$. to $g$ is $\frac{\text{du}}{\text{dv}}=\frac{\frac{\text{du}}{\text{dx}}}{\frac{\text{dv}}{\text{dx}}}.$
