11. If p, q, r are positive real number such that

(p2 + q2)x2 – 2q (p + r) x + q2 + r2 = 0 and x2 – 2x – 8 = 0
q2 + r 2
has one root common then is equal to ………… .

Ans. X > 0
Sol. x2 – 2x – 8 = 0 ⇒ (x + 4) (x – 2) = 0
(p2 + q2) x2 – 2q (p + r) x + q2 + r2 = 0
(p2x2 – 2pqx + q2) + (q2x2 – 2qrx + r2) = 0

Ans. 2
Sol. |A| = –1 and |(A + I) adj(A + I)| = 4
⇒ |A + I| | adj(A + I)| = 4
For a 2 × 2 matrix
| B | = |adj B|
⇒ |A + I|2 = 4
⇒ |A + I| = ± 2

⇒ ad – bc = –1
and (a + 1) (d + 1) – bc = ± 2
⇒ ad + a + d + I – bc = ± 2
