 .. A mininum of 8 questions here (along with answers)
 
+1. ``matrix(A) * matrix(B)`` and ``array(A) * array(B)`` are the same.
+
+    a. True
+    #. False
+
+Answer: False
+
+2. ``matrix(A) * array(B)`` does,
+
+   a. Element wise multiplication.
+   #. Matrix multiplication.
+   #. Cannot multiply a matrix object and array object.
+   #. Depends on the shape of A and B, if compatible matrix
+      multiplication will be done, otherwise element wise
+      multiplication.
+
+Answer: Matrix multiplication
+
+3. A and B are two matrix objects. Element wise multiplication in
+   matrices are done by,
+
+   a. A * B
+   #. ``multiply(A, B)``
+   #. ``dot(A, B)``
+   #. ``element_multiply(A,B)``
+
+Answer: multiply(A, B)
+
+4. ``norm(A)`` method determines the,
+
+   a. Frobenius norm
+   #. Infinity norm
+   #. Induced norm
+   #. Schatten norm
+
+Answer: Frobenius norm
+
+5. ``eig(A)[1]`` and ``eigvals(A)`` are the same.
+
+   a. True
+   #. False
+
+Answer: False
+
+6. The code snippet will work without an error,
+   ::
+
+       A = matrix([[1, 2, 3, 4], [5, 6, 7, 8]])
+       inv(A)
+
+   a. True
+   #. False
+
+Answer: False
+
+7. What is the output of the following code,
+   ::
+
+      x = matrix([[1, 2, 3], ['a', 2, 'c']])
+      identity(x.shape)
+
+   a. Will create an identity matrix of shape (2, 3).
+   #. ``identity()`` function takes an integer as argument and a tuple
+      is passed.
+   #. Will return, matrix([[1,0,1],[0,1,0]])
+   #. Will return, matrix([[0,1,0],[0,1,0]])
+
+Answer: ``identity()`` function takes an integer as argument and a
+      	tuple is passed.
+
+8. ``norm(A,ord='fro')`` is the same as ``norm(A)``
+
+   a. True
+   #. False
+
+Answer: True
