Consider the following statements: 1. Every zero matrix is a square matrix. 2. A matrix has a numerical value. 3. A unit matrix is a diagonal matrix. Which of the above statements is / are correct? Correct Answer 3 only
Concept:
Zero matrices:
A zero matrix is a matrix with all entries are zero.
It is a rectangular array or table of numbers, symbols, or expressions, arranged in rows and columns.
Unit matrix: A unit matrix is a matrix whose diagonal entries are 1 i.e. all diagonal elements are same and remaining entries are zero
Calculations:
A zero matrix is a matrix with all entries are zero. It may be or may not a square matrix.
A matrix has a determinant not numerical value. It is a rectangular array or table of numbers, symbols, or expressions, arranged in rows and columns.
A unit matrix is a matrix whose diagonal entries are 1 i.e. all diagonal elements are same and remaining entries are zero.
Hence, a unit matrix is a diagonal matrix
