Class 12 Maths · Matrices · Short Answer #59

For A=\(\begin{bmatrix}0 & 3\\2 & -5\end{bmatrix}\) and kA=\(\begin{bmatrix}0 & 4a\\-8 & 5b\end{bmatrix}\), find k,a,b.

✅ Step-by-Step Solution

Final Answer: k=−4,a=−3,b=4
  1. The left side is kA=[[0,3k],[2k,−5k]]; compare it with the given matrix [[0,4a],[−8,5b]].
  2. Comparing entries gives 2k=−8, 3k=4a and −5k=5b. Thus k=−4,a=−3,b=4.
  3. Therefore (k,a,b)=(−4,−3,4).

📋 CBSE Stepwise Marking Scheme

  • [0.5 marks] The left side is kA=[[0,3k],[2k,−5k]]; compare it with the given matrix [[0,4a],[−8,5b]].
  • [1 mark] Comparing entries gives 2k=−8, 3k=4a and −5k=5b. Thus k=−4,a=−3,b=4.
  • [0.5 marks] Therefore (k,a,b)=(−4,−3,4).
