Mathematics - Matrices

Practise 23 Manipal (MET) previous year questions on Matrices, compiled from papers spanning 2010 to 2024. Each question is pulled directly from the actual exam paper it appeared in, so you're practising in the exact style and difficulty Manipal (MET) tests.

Matrices has been asked in 11 of the 15 years of Manipal (MET) papers analysed (2010–2024), with 23 questions in all. 65% of them were easy, 17% moderate and 17% tough. Most of its questions came from 2021, with 5 questions that year. In the last three years (2022–2024) it had 3 questions across 3 papers, about 1 per paper.

The chapter's 8 topics are not weighted equally: Product of Matrices (11 questions, 48%), Adjoint and its Properties (4 questions, 17%), and Formation and Basic of Matrix (2 questions, 9%) have been asked the most. Product of Matrices has also led over the last five years, with 4 questions. Product of Matrices has produced the most tough questions (3).
