- $| FE |=| I - FE || FGE |$
- $( I - FE )( I + FGE )= I$
- $EFG = GEF$
- $( I - FE )( I - FGE )= I$
The Correct Option is A, B, C
Solution and Explanation
Step 1: Given Information
We are given the following:
- \( I \) is the \( 3 \times 3 \) identity matrix.
- \( E \) and \( F \) are \( 3 \times 3 \) matrices.
- \( (I - EF) \) is invertible, and we define \( G = (I - EF)^{-1} \).
- We are asked to determine the truth of the following statements:
- (A) \( |FE| = |I - FE| |FGE| \)
- (B) \( (I - FE)(I + FGE) = I \)
- (C) \( EFG = GEF \)
Step 2: Analyzing Statement A
We are asked to verify whether:
\[
|FE| = |I - FE| |FGE|
\]
First, note that \( G = (I - EF)^{-1} \), so \( (I - EF)G = I \), which implies:
\[
I - EF = (I - EF) \cdot G
\]
Since the determinant of a product of matrices is the product of their determinants, we get:
\[
|I - EF| = |(I - EF) \cdot G| = |I - EF| |G|
\]
Hence, this relationship is valid and the statement \( |FE| = |I - FE| |FGE| \) holds true. Therefore, statement (A) is correct.
Step 3: Analyzing Statement B
We are asked to verify whether:
\[
(I - FE)(I + FGE) = I
\]
Let us multiply the two terms on the left-hand side:
\[
(I - FE)(I + FGE) = I + FGE - FE - FEFGE
\]
Now, consider the term \( FEFGE \). Since \( G = (I - EF)^{-1} \), we know that:
\[
(I - EF)G = I
\]
which implies that \( FEFGE \) simplifies to \( FE \), so:
\[
(I - FE)(I + FGE) = I
\]
Therefore, statement (B) is correct.
Step 4: Analyzing Statement C
We are asked to verify whether:
\[
EFG = GEF
\]
Since \( G = (I - EF)^{-1} \), we have the equation \( (I - EF)G = I \). By multiplying both sides of this equation by \( E \) and \( F \), we obtain:
\[
EFG = GEF
\]
Thus, statement (C) is correct.
Final Answer:
All the statements (A), (B), and (C) are correct:
- (A) \( |FE| = |I - FE| |FGE| \)
- (B) \( (I - FE)(I + FGE) = I \)
- (C) \( EFG = GEF \)

The center of a disk of radius $ r $ and mass $ m $ is attached to a spring of spring constant $ k $, inside a ring of radius $ R>r $ as shown in the figure. The other end of the spring is attached on the periphery of the ring. Both the ring and the disk are in the same vertical plane. The disk can only roll along the inside periphery of the ring, without slipping. The spring can only be stretched or compressed along the periphery of the ring, following Hooke’s law. In equilibrium, the disk is at the bottom of the ring. Assuming small displacement of the disc, the time period of oscillation of center of mass of the disk is written as $ T = \frac{2\pi}{\omega} $.

Matrices
Matrix:
A matrix is a rectangular array of numbers, variables, symbols, or expressions that are defined for the operations like subtraction, addition, and multiplications. The size of a matrix is determined by the number of rows and columns in the matrix.
The basic operations that can be performed on matrices are:
- Addition of Matrices - The addition of matrices addition can only be possible if the number of rows and columns of both the matrices are the same.
- Subtraction of Matrices - Matrices subtraction is also possible only if the number of rows and columns of both the matrices are the same.
- Scalar Multiplication - The product of a matrix A with any number 'c' is obtained by multiplying every entry of the matrix A by c, is called scalar multiplication.
- Multiplication of Matrices - Matrices multiplication is defined only if the number of columns in the first matrix and rows in the second matrix are equal.
- Transpose of Matrices - Interchanging of rows and columns is known as the transpose of matrices.
