Sample Tamil Nadu HSE First Year Business Mathematics and Statistics Practice Questions

Try these sample questions to review concepts for the Tamil Nadu HSE First Year Business Mathematics and Statistics exam. Each question includes a detailed explanation. Start the interactive quiz above for the full 100+ question experience with AI tutoring.

1If A = [[2, 1], [3, 4]], then the order of A is:
A.1 × 2
B.2 × 1
C.2 × 2
D.3 × 3
Explanation: Matrix A has 2 rows and 2 columns, so its order is 2 × 2.
2If A = [[1, 2], [3, 4]] and B = [[5, 6], [7, 8]], then A + B equals:
A.[[6, 8], [10, 12]]
B.[[6, 8], [9, 12]]
C.[[5, 8], [10, 12]]
D.[[6, 9], [10, 12]]
Explanation: Add corresponding elements: 1+5=6, 2+6=8, 3+7=10, 4+8=12, so A + B = [[6, 8], [10, 12]].
3If A = [[2, 3], [1, 4]], then 3A equals:
A.[[5, 6], [4, 7]]
B.[[6, 9], [3, 12]]
C.[[6, 3], [9, 12]]
D.[[2, 9], [3, 12]]
Explanation: Scalar multiplication multiplies every entry by 3: 3×2=6, 3×3=9, 3×1=3, 3×4=12.
4The determinant of A = [[3, 1], [2, 4]] is:
A.10
B.14
C.12
D.8
Explanation: |A| = (3)(4) − (1)(2) = 12 − 2 = 10.
5If |A| = 0 for a square matrix A, then A is:
A.Identity matrix
B.Singular matrix
C.Unitary matrix
D.Orthogonal matrix
Explanation: A square matrix with determinant zero is called singular (non-invertible).
6If A = [[a, b], [c, d]] and |A| ≠ 0, then A⁻¹ equals:
A.(1/|A|) [[d, −b], [−c, a]]
B.(1/|A|) [[a, b], [c, d]]
C.(1/|A|) [[d, b], [c, a]]
D.[[d, −b], [−c, a]]
Explanation: For a 2 × 2 matrix, A⁻¹ = (1/|A|) adj(A) = (1/|A|) [[d, −b], [−c, a]].
7If A = [[2, 1], [0, 3]], then |A| equals:
A.5
B.6
C.0
D.3
Explanation: |A| = (2)(3) − (1)(0) = 6 − 0 = 6.
8If A is a 2 × 2 matrix with |A| = 5, then |3A| equals:
A.15
B.45
C.125
D.5
Explanation: For an n × n matrix, |kA| = kⁿ |A|. Here n = 2, k = 3: |3A| = 3² × 5 = 9 × 5 = 45.
9Solve using Cramer's rule: 2x + y = 5, x − y = 1. The value of x is:
A.1
B.2
C.3
D.4
Explanation: D = |[[2,1],[1,−1]]| = −2 − 1 = −3. Dₓ = |[[5,1],[1,−1]]| = −5 − 1 = −6. x = Dₓ/D = (−6)/(−3) = 2.
10If A = [[1, 2, 3], [0, 1, 4], [0, 0, 1]], then |A| equals:
A.0
B.1
C.2
D.6
Explanation: A is upper triangular, so |A| equals the product of diagonal entries: 1 × 1 × 1 = 1.

Tamil Nadu HSE First Year Business Mathematics and Statistics: Suggested Study Strategy

1Study from the current SCERT / Samacheer Kalvi Class 11 Business Mathematics and Statistics textbooks and the year's model question paper pattern released for DGE public exams.
2Practise both conceptual MCQs and the official long/short answer formats; this bank cannot replace writing skill evidence.
3For calculation-heavy units (simple/compound interest, annuities, matrices, descriptive statistics, commercial arithmetic), rework numerical problems with units as used in the textbook examples.
4Use the official timetable to plan revision around your specific Part I / II / III sitting dates.
5After each practice set, log weak topic areas (by unit) and re-read those textbook chapters before retesting.
