Question
If $\begin{bmatrix}1&-1&\text{x}\end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix}0&1&-1\\2&1&3\\1&1&1\end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix}0\\1\\1\end{bmatrix}=0,$ find x.

Answer

Given,
$\begin{bmatrix}1&-1&\text{x}\end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix}0&1&-1\\2&1&3\\1&1&1\end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix}0\\1\\1\end{bmatrix}=0$
$\Rightarrow\begin{bmatrix}0-2+\text{x}&1-1+\text{x}&-1-3+\text{x}\end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix}0\\1\\1\end{bmatrix}=0$
$\Rightarrow\begin{bmatrix}-2+\text{x}&\text{x}&-4+\text{x}\end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix}0\\1\\1\end{bmatrix}=0$
$\Rightarrow\begin{bmatrix}0+\text{x}-4+\text{x}\end{bmatrix}=0$
$ \Rightarrow2\text{x}-4=0$
$\Rightarrow2\text{x}=4$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}=\frac{4}{2}$
$\therefore\ \text{x}=2$

The standard weight of a special purpose brick is 5 kg and it must contain two basic ingredients costs 5 per kg and $\text{B}_{2}$ costs 8 per kg. Strength considerations dictate that the brick should contain not more than 4 kg of and minimum 2 kg of $\text{B}_{2}$. Since the demand for the product is likely to be related to the price of the brick, find the minimum cost of brick satisfying the above conditions. Formulate this situation as an LPP and solve it graphically.
A company is making two products A and B. The cost of producing one unit of products A and B are Rs 60 and Rs 80 respectively. As per the agreement, the company has to supply at least 200 units of product B to its regular customers.
