(vi) We have, A=2311  223  1-1.
 A=231122-31-1=2-2-2-3-1+6+11+6=-8-15+7=-160
So, A is invertible.
Let Cij be the co-factors of the elements aij in A[aij]. Then,
C11=-11+1221-1=-2-2=-4C12=-11+212-3-1=-1-1+6=-5C13=-11+312-31=1+6=7

Adj A=-4-5741-114-31T=-444-51-37-111A-1=Adj AA=1-16-444-51-37-111
Now, the given system of equations is expressible as
21-332112-1xyz=1348
Or AT X = B, where X=xyz, B=1348
Now, AT=A=-160
So, the given system of equations is consistent with a unique solution given by
X=AT-1B=A-1TB
xyz=-116-444-51-37-111T1348xyz=-116-4-5741-114-311348xyz=-116-52-20+5652+4-8852-12+8xyz=-116-16-3248xyz=12-3
Hence, x = 1, y = 2 and z = −3 is the required solution.

(vii) Suppose, A = 1-1202-33-24 B=-20192-361-2

A×B=1-1202-33-24-20192-361-2=-2-9+120-2+21+3-40+18-180+4-30-6+6-6-18+240-4+43+6-8=100010001

Since, A × B = I,
B = A−1                                 .....(1)

Now, the given system of equations is

x + 3z = 9
x + 2y − 2z = 4
2x − 3y + 4z = −3

This can also be represented as,

103-12-22-34xyz=94-3
Here, we can observe that 103-12-22-34=AT
So, ATxyz=94-3

Multiply the above expression by AT-1.

xyz=AT-194-3xyz=A-1T94-3     xyz=BT94-3                       Using (1)

xyz=-20192-361-2T94-3=-2960211-3-294-3=-18+36-180+8-39-12+6=053

Hence, x = 0, y = 5 and z = 3.

Question 13:

The management committee of a residential colony decided to award some of its members (say x) for honesty, some (say y) for helping others and some others (say z) for supervising the workers to keep the colony neat and clean. The sum of all the awardees is 12. Three times the sum of awardees for cooperation and supervision added to two times the number of awardees for honesty is 33. If the sum of the number of awardees for honesty and supervision is twice the number of awardees for helping others, using matrix method, find the number of awardees of each category. Apart from these values, namely, honesty, cooperation and supervision, suggest one more value which the management of the colony must include for awards.

Answer:

As per the information given in the question, the following equations hold true:

.

The above three equations can be represented in the form of a matrix as

Or AX = B, where,

Thus, A is non-singular. Therefore, its inverse exists.

Adj A is given by

Therefore, the number of awardees for Honesty, Cooperation and Supervision are 3, 4, and 5 respectively.

One more value which the management of the colony must include for awards may be Sincerity.

Question 14:

A school wants to award its students for the values of Honesty, Regularity and Hard work with a total cash award of Rs 6,000. Three times the award money for Hard work added to that given for honesty amounts to Rs 11,000. The award money given for Honesty and Hard work together is double the one given for Regularity. Represent the above situation algebraically and find the award money for each value, using matrix method. Apart from these values, namely, Honesty, Regularity and Hard work, suggest one more value which the school must include for awards.

Answer:

Let the award money given for Honesty, Regularity and Hard work be x, y and z respectively.

Since total cash award is Rs 6,000.

x + y + z = Rs 6,000 ...(1)

Three times the award money for Hard work and Honesty is Rs 11,000.

x + 3 z = Rs 11,000

x + 0.y + 3 z = Rs 11,000 ...(2)

Award money for Honesty and Hard work is double the one given for regularity.

x + z = 2y

x − 2y + z = 0 ...(3)

The above system can be written in matrix form as,

Or AX = B, where

Thus, A is non-singular. Hence, it is invertible.

Adj A =

Thus, award money given for Honesty, Regularity and Hard work are Rs 500, Rs 2000 and Rs 3500 respectively.

School can include sincerity for awards.

If the total amount of award for one prize on each value is â‚¹900, using matrices, find the award money for each value. Apart from these three values, suggest one more value which should be considered for award.

Answer:

Let the award money given for sincerity, truthfulness and helpfulness be â‚¹x, â‚¹y and â‚¹respectively.

Since, the total cash award is â‚¹900.
x + y + z = 900                    ....(1)

Award money given by school A is â‚¹1,600.
∴ 3x + 2y + z = 1600              ....(2)

Award money given by school B is â‚¹2,300.

Question 20:

A total amount of â‚¹7000 is deposited in three different saving bank accounts with annual interest rates 5%, 8% and 812% respectively. The total annual interest from these three accounts is â‚¹550. Equal amounts have been deposited in the 5% and 8% saving accounts. Find the amount deposited in each of the three accounts, with the help of matrices.

Answer:

​​​Let the amount deposited in each of the three accounts be â‚¹x, â‚¹x and â‚¹respectively.

Since, the total amount deposited is â‚¹7,000.

Question 21:

A shopkeeper has 3 varieties of pens 'A', 'B' and 'C'. Meenu purchased 1 pen of each variety for a total of Rs 21. Jeevan purchased 4 pens of 'A' variety 3 pens of 'B' variety and 2 pens of 'C' variety for Rs 60. While Shikha purchased 6 pens of 'A' variety, 2 pens of 'B' variety and 3 pens of 'C' variety for Rs 70. Using matrix method, find cost of each variety of pen.

Here, =0 and at least one of x,y and z is not zero, so the given system of equations has no solution.

Thus, the given system of equations has no solution.

The number of solutions of the system of the system of equations x + 2y + z = 3, 2x + 3y + z = 3, 3x + 5y + 2z = 1 is ___0___.

Question 4:

If the system of equations  2x - y - z = 12,  x - 2y + z = -4,  x + y + λz = 4 has no solution, then λ = ________________.

Answer:


The given system of equations 2x y z = 12, x 2y + z = −4 and x + y + λz = 4 has no solution.

=2-1-11-2111λ=0

2-2λ-1--1λ-1-11+2=0

-4λ-2+λ-1-3=0

-3λ-6=0

-3λ=6

λ=-2

Thus, the value of λ = −2.

If the system of equations 2 y  z = 12,  2y + z = −4, x + y + λz = 4 has no solution, then λ = ___−2___.

Question 5:

If the system of equations  x - ky - z = 0,  kx - y - z = 0,  x + y - z = 0 has a non-zero solution then the values of k are __________________.

Answer:


The system of homogeneous equations x ky z = 0, kx y z = 0 and x + y z = 0 has a non-zero solution or an infinite many solutions.

=1-k-1k-1-111-1=0

11+1+k-k+1-1k+1=0

2-k2+k-k-1=0

k2=1

k=±1

Thus, the values of k are −1 and 1.

If the system of equations  ky  z = 0, kx  y  z = 0, + y  z = 0 has a non-zero solution then the values of k are __−1 and 1__.

Question 6:

The real value of λ for which the system of equations  λx + y + z = 0,  -x + λy + z = 0, - x - y + λz = 0 has a non-zero solution, is _____________.

Answer:


The system of homogeneous equations λx + y + z = 0, −x + λy + z = 0 and −x y + λz = 0 has a non-zero solution or an infinite many solutions.

=λ11-1λ1-1-1λ=0

λλ2+1-1-λ+1+11+λ=0

λ3+λ+λ-1+1+λ=0

λ3+3λ=0

λλ2+3=0

λ=0          (λ2 + 3 ≠ 0 for any real value of λ)

Thus, the real value of λ for which the given system of homogeneous equations has a non-zero solution is 0.

The real value of λ for which the system of equations λx + y + z = 0, −x + λy + z = 0, − y + λz = 0 has a non-zero solution, is __0__.

Question 7:

The set of values of k for which the system of equations  x + y + z = 2, 2x + y - z = 3, 3x +2 y + kz = 4 has a unique solution, is _________.

Answer:


The system of equations x + y + z = 2, 2x + y z = 3 and 3x + 2y + kz = 4 has a unique solution.

=11121-132k0

1k+2-12k+3+14-30

k+2-2k-3+10

k0

Thus, the set of values of k for which the given system of equations has a unique solution is R − {0}.

The set of values of k for which the system of equations + y + z = 2, 2+ y  z = 3, 3+ 2+ kz = 4  has a unique solution, is __R − {0}__.
