MCQ
If $A = \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}1&2&2\\2&1&{ - 2}\\a&2&b\end{array}} \right]$ is a matrix satisfying the equation $AA^T=9I $ where$ I$ is $3×3$ identity matrix, then the ordered pair $(a, b)$ is equal to:
  • $(-2,-1)$
  • B
    $(2,-1)$
  • C
    $(-2,1)$
  • D
    $(2,1)$

Answer

Correct option: A.
$(-2,-1)$
a
${{\rm{A}}{{\rm{A}}^ \top } = 9{\rm{I}}}$

$\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}
1&2&2\\
2&1&{ - 2}\\
a&2&b
\end{array}} \right]\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{r}}
1&2&{\rm{a}}\\
2&1&2\\
2&{ - 2}&b
\end{array}} \right] = \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}
9&0&0\\
0&9&0\\
0&0&9
\end{array}} \right]$

${{\rm{a}} + 4 + 2{\rm{b}} = 0 \Rightarrow {\rm{a}} + 2{\rm{b}} =  - 4}$       ......$(i)$

${2{\rm{a}} + 2 - 2{\rm{b}} = 0 \Rightarrow {\rm{a}} + 2{\rm{b}} =  - 1}$         .......$(ii)$

${{\rm{ From (i) and (ii) }}}$

${3{\rm{b}} =  - 3 \Rightarrow {\rm{b}} =  - 1}$

${{\rm{a}} =  - 2}$

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 (A): Assertion (A):For an objective function Z= 15x + 20y, corner points are (0, 0), (10, 0), (0, 15) and (5, 5). Then optimal values are 300 and 0 respectively.
Reason (R): The maximum or minimum value of an objective function is known as optimal value of LPP. These values are obtained at corner points.
