Question 15

If V1 and V2 are 4-dimensional subspace of a 6-dimensional vector space V, then the smallest possible dimension of V1∩V2   is ______.

A
2
B
3
C
4
D
5
Question 15 Explanation: 
In a 6 dimensional vector space, sub space of 4 dimensional subspace V1, V2 are provided. Then the V1∩V2?

For eg: a two dimensional vector space have x, y axis. For dimensional vector space, it have x, y, z axis.
In the same manner, 6 dimensional vector space has x, y, z, p, q, r (assume).
Any subspace of it, with 4 dimensional subspace consists any 4 of the above. Then their intersection will be atmost 2.
[{x,y,z,p} ∩ {r,q,p,z}] = #2
V1 ∩ V2 = V1 + V2 – V1 ∪ V2 = 4 + 4 + (-6) = 2
Correct Answer: A
