Question
$\begin{vmatrix}\text{b}+\text{c}&\text{a}&\text{a}\\\text{b}&\text{c}+\text{a}&\text{b}\\\text{c}&\text{c}&\text{a}+\text{b}\end{vmatrix}=4\text{abc}$

Answer

$\text{L.H.S}=\begin{vmatrix}\text{b}+\text{c}&\text{a}&\text{a}\\\text{b}&\text{c}+\text{a}&\text{b}\\\text{c}&\text{c}&\text{a}+\text{b}\end{vmatrix}$
$=\begin{vmatrix}0&-2\text{c}&-2\text{b}\\\text{b}&\text{c}+\text{a}&\text{b}\\\text{c}&\text{c}&\text{a}+\text{b}\end{vmatrix}$ [Applying $R_1 \rightarrow R_1 - (R_2 + R_3)$]
$=\begin{vmatrix}0&-2\text{c}&-2\text{b}\\\text{b}&\text{c}+\text{a}-\text{b}&0\\\text{c}&0&\text{a}+\text{b}-\text{c}\end{vmatrix}$ [Applying $C_2 \rightarrow C_2 - C_1$ and $C_3 \rightarrow C_3 - C_1$]
$=0\begin{vmatrix}\text{c}+\text{a}-\text{b}&0\\0&\text{a}+\text{b}-\text{c}\end{vmatrix}-(-2\text{c})\begin{vmatrix}\text{b}&0\\\text{c}&\text{a}+\text{b}-\text{c}\end{vmatrix}-2\text{b}\begin{vmatrix}\text{b}&\text{c}+\text{a}-\text{b}\\\text{c}&0\end{vmatrix}$
$=2\text{c}[\text{b}(\text{a}+\text{b}-\text{c})-0]-2\text{b}[0-\text{c}(\text{c}+\text{a}-\text{b})]$
$=2\text{bc}[\text{a}+\text{b}-\text{c}]-2\text{bc}[\text{b}-\text{c}-\text{a}]$
$=2\text{bc}[(\text{a}+\text{b}-\text{c})-(\text{b}-\text{c}-\text{a})]$
$=4\text{abc}$
$=\text{R.H.S}$

A company makes 3 model of calculators: A, B and C at factory I and factory II. The company has orders for at least 6400 calculators of model A, 4000 calculator of model B and 4800 calculator of model C. At factory I, 50 calculators of model A, 50 of model B and 30 of model C are made every day; at factory II, 40 calculators of model A, 20 of model B and 40 of model C are made everyday. It costs Rs. 12000 and Rs. 15000 each day to operate factory I and II, respectively. Find the number of days each factory should operate to minimise the operating costs and still meet the demand.
