Definition: Equality of Matrices

Two matrices are equal if and only if:

  1. They have the same order (same number of rows and columns), and
  2. Their corresponding elements are equal.

Example:

\[A=
\begin{bmatrix}
2 & & 3 \\
1 & & 5
\end{bmatrix}\mathrm{and} B=
\begin{bmatrix}
2 & & 3 \\
1 & & 5
\end{bmatrix}\]

CBSE: Class 12

Example: 1

Find the values of a, b, c, and d from the following equation:

\[\begin{bmatrix} 2a+b & a-2b \\ 5c-d & 4c+3d \end{bmatrix}= \begin{bmatrix} 4 & -3 \\ 11 & 24 \end{bmatrix}\]

Solution: By the equality of two matrices, equating the corresponding elements, we get 

2a + b = 4             5c – d = 11
a – 2b =– 3            4c + 3d = 24

Solving these equations, we get

a = 1, b = 2, c = 3 and d = 4

CBSE: Class 12

Key Points: Equality of Matrices

  • Equality of matrices is possible only when the order is the same.

  • Corresponding elements must be compared position by position.

  • If even one corresponding entry differs, the matrices are not equal.
