Let \( A = [a_{ij}] \) be a square matrix of order 2 with entries either 0 or 1. Let \( E \) be the event that \( A \) is an invertible matrix. Then the probability \( P(E) \) is:
Show Hint
- \( \frac{3}{16} \)
- \( \frac{3}{8} \)
- \( \frac{5}{8} \)
- \( \frac{1}{8} \)
The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
A 2x2 matrix is invertible if its determinant is non-zero. We count the total number of 2x2 matrices with entries 0 or 1, which is \( 2^4 = 16 \). Then, we count the number of matrices that are not invertible (i.e., their determinant is zero) and subtract that from the total to find the number of invertible matrices. The probability \( P(E) \) is the ratio of invertible matrices to the total number of matrices.
Final Answer: \( \frac{5}{8} \).

- A woman discovered a scratch along a straight line on a circular table top of radius 8 cm. She divided the table top into 4 equal quadrants and discovered the scratch passing through the origin inclined at an angle \( \frac{\pi}{4} \) anticlockwise along the positive direction of x-axis. Find the area of the region enclosed by the x-axis, the scratch and the circular table top in the first quadrant, using integration.
