Q45 / 155 · WBJEE 2017 · Mathematics

Let $P$ be the set of all non-singular matrices of order 3 over $R$ and $Q$ be the set of all orthogonal matrices of order 3 over $R .$ Then,

  • A
    $P$ is proper subset of $Q$
  • Correct answer
    B
    $Q$ is proper subset of $P$
  • C
    Neither $P$ is proper subset of $Q$ nor $Q$ is proper subset of $P$
  • D
    $P \cap Q=\phi$, the void set

Solution

All the orthogonal matrix are non-singular matrix. $\therefore Q$ is proper subset of $P$

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
