Preface to the Series


For almost a decade, we have been receiving tremendous responses from GATE aspirants for our earlier books:
GATE Multiple Choice Questions, GATE Guide, and the GATE Cloud series. Our first book, GATE Multiple
Choice Questions (MCQ), was a compilation of objective questions and solutions for all subjects of GATE
Electronics & Communication Engineering in one book. The idea behind the book was that Gate aspirants who
had just completed or about to finish their last semester to achieve his or her B.E/B.Tech need only to practice
answering questions to crack GATE. The solutions in the book were presented in such a manner that a student
needs to know fundamental concepts to understand them. We assumed that students have learned enough of
the fundamentals by his or her graduation. The book was a great success, but still there were a large ratio of
aspirants who needed more preparatory materials beyond just problems and solutions. This large ratio mainly
included average students.
Later, we perceived that many aspirants couldnt develop a good problem solving approach in their B.E/B.Tech.
Some of them lacked the fundamentals of a subject and had difficulty understanding simple solutions. Now,
we have an idea to enhance our content and present two separate books for each subject: one for theory, which
contains brief theory, problem solving methods, fundamental concepts, and points-to-remember. The second book
is about problems, including a vast collection of problems with descriptive and step-by-step solutions that can
be understood by an average student. This was the origin of GATE Guide (the theory book) and GATE Cloud
(the problem bank) series: two books for each subject. GATE Guide and GATE Cloud were published in three
subjects only.
Thereafter we received an immense number of emails from our readers looking for a complete study package
for all subjects and a book that combines both GATE Guide and GATE Cloud. This encouraged us to present
GATE Study Package (a set of 10 books: one for each subject) for GATE Electronic and Communication
Engineering. Each book in this package is adequate for the purpose of qualifying GATE for an average student.
Each book contains brief theory, fundamental concepts, problem solving methodology, summary of formulae,
and a solved question bank. The question bank has three exercises for each chapter: 1) Theoretical MCQs, 2)
Numerical MCQs, and 3) Numerical Type Questions (based on the new GATE pattern). Solutions are presented
in a descriptive and step-by-step manner, which are easy to understand for all aspirants.
We believe that each book of GATE Study Package helps a student learn fundamental concepts and develop
problem solving skills for a subject, which are key essentials to crack GATE. Although we have put a vigorous
effort in preparing this book, some errors may have crept in. We shall appreciate and greatly acknowledge all
constructive comments, criticisms, and suggestions from the users of this book. You may write to us at rajkumar.

CHAPTER 1
Matrix Algebra

1.1

Introduction

This chapter, concerned with the matrix algebra, includes the following
topics:
Multiplication of matrix
Transpose of matrix
Determinant of matrix
Rank of matrix
Adjoint of matrix
Inverse of matrix: elementary transformation, determination of inverse
using elementary transformation
Echelon form and normal form of matrix; procedure for reduction of
normal form.
1.2

Multiplication of Matrices

If A and B be any two matrices, then their product AB will be defined


only when number of columns in A is equal to the number of rows in B .
If
A = 6aij@m # n
and
B = 6bjk @n # p
then their product,

AB = C = 6cik@m # p
will be matrix of order m # p , where

cik =

/ aij bjk

j=1

Properties of matrix multiplication

If A, B and C are three matrices such that their product is defined, then
1. Generally not commutative; AB ! BA
2. Associative law; (AB) C = A (BC)
3. Distributive law; A (B + C) = AB + AC
4. Cancellation law is not applicable, i.e. if AB = AC , it does not mean
that B = C .
5. If AB = 0 , it does not mean that A = 0 or B = 0 .
6. (AB)T = (BA)T

1.3

Transpose of a Matrix

The matrix obtained form a given matrix A by changing its rows into
columns or columns int rows is called Transpose of matrix A and is denoted
by AT . From the definition it is obvious that if order of A is m # n , then
order of AT is n # m .

Matrix Algebra

Properties of Transpose of matrix

Consider the two matrices A and B


1. (AT )T = A
2. (A ! B)T = AT ! BT
3. (AB)T = BT AT
4. (kA)T = k (A)T
5. (A1 A2 A 3 ...An 1 An)T = A Tn A Tn 1 ...A T3 A T2 A T1

3. AT = A

4. kA = kn A , if A is a square matrix of order n .


5. If A and B are square matrices of same order then AB = BA .
6. If A is a skew symmetric matrix of odd order then A = 0 .
7. If A = diag (a1, a2,...., an) then A = a1, a2 ...an .
8. A n = An , n ! N .
9. If A = 0 , then matrix is called singular.

Singular Matrix
A square matrix A is said to be singular if A = 0 and non-singular if
A ! 0.
1.5

Rank of Matrix

The number, r with the following two properties is called the rank of the
matrix
1. There is at least one non-zero minor of order r .
2. Every minor of order (r + 1) is zero.
This definition of the rank does uniquely fix the same for, as a consequence
of the condition (2), every minor of order (r + 2), being the sum of multiples
of minors of order (r + 1), will be zero. In fact, every minor of order greater

than r will be zero as a consequence of the condition (2).


The given following two simple results follow immediately from the definition
1. There exists a non-zero minor or order r & the rank is $ r .
2. All minors of order (r + 1) are zero & the rank is # r .
In each of the two cases above, we assume r to satisfy only one of two
properties (1) or (2) of the rank. The rank of matrix A represented by
symbol r (A).

Chap 1
Matrix Algebra

Nullity of a Matrix
If A is a square matrix of a order n, then n - r (A) is called the nullity of
the matrix A and is denoted by N (A). Thus a non-singular square matrix of
order n has rank equal to n and the nullity of such a matrix is equal to zero.
1.6

Adjoint of a Matrix

If every element of a square matrix A be replaced by its cofactor in A ,


then the transpose of the matrix so obtained is called the Adjoint of matrix
A and it is denoted by adj A. Thus, if A = 6aij @ be a square matrix and Fij
be the cofactor of aij in A , then adj A + 6Fij @T .

Properties of adjoint matrix

If A, B are square matrices of order n ad In is corresponding unit matrix,


then
1. A (adj A) = A In = (adj A)A
2. adj A = A n 1
3. adj (adj A) = A n 2 A
4. adj (adj A) = A (n 1)

5. adj (AT ) = (adj A)T


6. adj (AB) = (adj B)(adj A)

7. adj (Am) = (adj A) m, m ! N


8. adj (kA) = kn 1 (adj A), k ! R

1.7

Inverse of a Matrix

If A and B are two matrices such that AB = I = BA, then B is called the
inverse of A and it is denoted by A-1 . Thus,

A-1 = B + AB = I = BA
To find inverse matrix of a given matrix A we use following formula
adj A

A-1 =
A
Thus A-1 exists if A ! 0 and matrix A is called invertible.

1.7.2

Inverse of Matrix by Elementary Transformations


The elementary row transformations which reduces a square matrix A to
the unit matrix, when applied to the unit matrix, gives the inverse matrix
A-1 . Let A be a non-singular square matrix. Then,

A = IA
Apply suitable E -row operations to A on the left hand side so that A
is reduced to I . Simultaneously, apply the same E -row operations to the
pre-factor I on right hand side. Let I reduce to B, so that I = BA. Postmultiplying by A-1 , we get

IA-1 = BAA1
or
A-1 = B (AA1) = BI = B
or
B = A1

ECHELON FORM

A matrix is said to be of Echelon form if,


1. Every row of matrix A which has all its entries 0 occurs below every row
which has a non-zero entry.
2. The first non-zero entry in each non-zero is equal to one.
3. The number of zeros before the first non-zero element in a row is less
than the number of such zeros in the next row.

A of order m # n and rank r (> 0) can be reduced to one of the following
forms.
Ir O
Ir

> O O H, > O H, 8Ir OB, 8IrB
Ir denotes identity matrix of order r . Each one of these four forms is called
Normal Form or Canonical Form or Orthogonal Form.
Procedure for Reduction of Normal Form

Let A = 6aij@ be any matrix of order m # n . Then, we can reduce it to the


normal form of the matrix A by subjecting it to a number of elementary
transformation using following methodology.
Methodology: Reduction of normal form

1. We first interchange a pair of rows (or columns), if necessary, to obtain


a non-zero element in the first row and first column of the matrix A.
2. Divide the first row by this non-zero element, if it is not 1.
3. We subtract appropriate multiples of the elements of the first row
from other rows so as to obtain zeroes in the remainder of the first
column.
4. We subtract appropriate multiple of the elements of the first column
from other columns so as to obtain zeroes in the remainder of the first
row.
5. We repeat the above four steps starting with the element in the second
row and the second column.
6. Continue this process down the leading diagonal until the end of the
diagonal is reached or until all the remaining elements in the matrix
are zero.

then rank of matrix B is 1, otherwise the rank is 2.
Thus, from the above results, we conclude that
If ps rq = 0 , then rank of matrix A and B is 1.
If ps - rq ! 0 , then rank of A and B is 2.
i.e. the rank of two matrices is always same. If rank of A is N then rank of
B also N .

Here, we can see that rank ofT matrix Xx = 3 , hence, we can determine the
rank of XT X .
Let Y = X $ XT , the rank of Y # rank of X . Also, X1 Y = XT and so we
have
Rank X = Rank XT # Rank of Y
Hence, from Eqs. (1) and (2), we get

Rank of X = Rank of Y
Hence, rank of X $ XT is 3
