I have a doubt. If $u_1, u_2, u_3,u_4,u_5 $ form basis in $mathbbR^5 $ and $V$ is 2-dimensional subspace of $mathbbR^5$ then show that V has basis of 2 elements from given basis of $mathbbR^5$




Is this correct?

    I don't think this is even true. For example, in $mathbb R^2$, consider the ordinary basis $(0,1), (1,0)$, and the subspace $V = (x,y) : x = y$ of $mathbb R^2$. Then, none of the basis elements even belong to $V$, so they cannot form a basis of $V$. Every basis can be extended to a basis of the overlying space, but every basis of the overlying space may not necessarily be contractible to span a given space.

    Do you mean that $V$ is spanned solely by only two vectors of the set $A=u_i, i=1...5$ ? If it is, then I think this is not correct.

As others have said, this statement is false in general. I will give you this counter-example:



If $u_1=(1,0,0,0,0),; u_2=(0,1,0,0,0),; u_3=(0,0,1,0,0),;ldots$ and $V=(a,a,b,b,b):a,binmathbbR $. It is clear that for every member of the basis: $u_i notin V$. Therefore, it is impossible for any pair of the original basis vectors to span $V$.
