Please Solve RD Sharma Class 12 Chapter Algebra of Matrices Exercise 4.1 Question 17 Subquestion (ii) Maths Textbook Solution.

Answers (1)

Answer: \begin{bmatrix} 4 & 0 & 0\\ 0 &-3 &0 \\ 0& 0 &2 \end{bmatrix}

Here we have to give an example of diagonal matrix which is not scalar

Given:

Hint:  A diagonal matrix has only a_{11}\: a_{22}\: a_{33}   for a 3\times 3 matrix such that a_{11}\: a_{22}\: a_{33}   are equal or different and all other entries zero

Solution:  We know that a diagonal matrix has only a_{11}\: a_{22}\: a_{33}    for a 3\times 3 matrix such that a_{11}\: a_{22}\: a_{33}  are equal or different and all other entries zero. While scalar matrix has a_{11}= a_{22}= a_{33}= m    (say)

So, a diagonal matrix which is not scalar must have a_{11}\neq a_{22}\neq a_{33} and a_{ij}=0  for i\neq j .

Hence Required matrix = \begin{bmatrix} 4 & 0 & 0\\ 0 &-3 &0 \\ 0& 0 &2 \end{bmatrix}
