1. What is meant by symmetric matrix? Write an example of 4 × 4 symmetric matrix.
⎡1 0 4 1⎤
⎢ −2 1 −3 2 ⎥⎥
2. Find the determinant of the matrix A = ⎢
⎢0 0 0 2⎥
⎢ ⎥
⎣3 2 1 −1⎦
3. The economy of a region consists of various expenditures (input) and production (output)
in following four sectors – agriculture (x1) , energy (x2), manufacturing (x3), and labor
(x4). The output in one sector requires input from all the four sectors. The relationships
between various sectors are given by the input-output matrix
⎡ 0.05 0.09 0.09 0.19 ⎤
⎢ 0.16 0.15 0.28 0.21⎥⎥
A=⎢ , where the element aij represents the input required from
⎢ 0.19 0.21 0.22 0.27 ⎥
⎢ ⎥
⎣0.27 0.04 0.35 0.02 ⎦
sector i to produce one unit of output from sector j. If the total output in billion rupees is –
for agriculture 25, for energy 48, for manufacturing 40, and for labor 15. Use Gauss-
elimination method with appropriate algorithm to solve and determine the input vector
{x}.
4. Use Gauss-Jordan algorithm taught in the class to solve the following linear system
8 x1 + x2 + 2 x3 − x4 = 3
x1 + 2 x2 − 2 x3 + x4 = 3
−2 x1 − x2 + 5 x3 + 3x4 = 0
2 x1 + 3x2 − 2 x3 − 6 x4 = −11
