If $\text{A}=\begin{bmatrix}0&\text{c}&-\text{b}\\-\text{c}&0&\text{a}\\\text{b}&-\text{a}&0\end{bmatrix}$ and $\text{B}=\begin{bmatrix}\text{a}^2&\text{ab}&\text{ac}\\\text{ab}&\text{b}^2&\text{bc}\\\text{ac}&\text{bc}&\text{c}^2\end{bmatrix},$ show that $AB = BA = O_{3 \times 3}$

Answer

Here,
$\text{AB}=\begin{bmatrix}0&\text{c}&-\text{b}\\-\text{c}&0&\text{a}\\\text{b}&-\text{a}&0\end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix}\text{a}^2&\text{ab}&\text{ac}\\\text{ab}&\text{b}^2&\text{bc}\\\text{ac}&\text{bc}&\text{c}^2\end{bmatrix}$
$\Rightarrow\text{AB}=\begin{bmatrix}0+\text{abc}-\text{abc}&0+\text{b}^2\text{c}-\text{b}^2\text{c}&0+\text{bc}^2-\text{bc}^2\\-\text{a}^2\text{c}+0+\text{a}^2\text{c}&-\text{abc}+0+\text{abc}&-\text{ac}^2+0+\text{ac}^2\\\text{a}^2\text{b}-\text{a}^2\text{b}+0&\text{ab}^2-\text{ab}^2+0&\text{abc}-\text{abc}+0\end{bmatrix}$
$\Rightarrow\text{AB}=\begin{bmatrix}0&0&0\\0&0&0\\0&0&0\end{bmatrix}$
$\Rightarrow\text{AB}=\text{O}_{3\times3}\ \dots(1)$
$\text{BA}=\begin{bmatrix}\text{a}^2&\text{ab}&\text{ac}\\\text{ab}&\text{b}^2&\text{bc}\\\text{ac}&\text{bc}&\text{c}^2\end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix}0&\text{c}&-\text{b}\\-\text{c}&0&\text{a}\\\text{b}&-\text{a}&0\end{bmatrix}$
$\Rightarrow\text{BA}=\begin{bmatrix}0-\text{abc}+\text{abc}&\text{a}^2\text{c}+0-\text{a}^2\text{c}&-\text{a}^2\text{b}+\text{a}^2\text{b}+0\\0-\text{b}^2\text{c}+\text{b}^2\text{c}&\text{abc}+0-\text{abc}&-\text{ab}^2+\text{ab}^2+0\\0-\text{bc}^2+\text{bc}^2&\text{ac}^2+0-\text{ac}^2&-\text{abc}+\text{abc}+0\end{bmatrix}$
$\Rightarrow\text{BA}=\begin{bmatrix}0&0&0\\0&0&0\\0&0&0\end{bmatrix}$
$\Rightarrow\text{BA}=\text{O}_{3\times3}\ \dots(2)$
$ \Rightarrow\text{AB}=\text{BA}=0_{3\times3}$ [From eqs. (1) and (2)]

A factory makes tennis rackets and cricket bats. A tennis racket takes 1.5 hours of machine time and 3 hours of craftman's time in its making while a cricket bat takes 3 hours of machine time and 1 hour of craftman's time. In a day, the factory has the availability of not more than 42 hours of machine time and 24 hours of craftman's time. If the profit on a racket and on a bat is Rs. 20 and Rs. 10 respectively, find the number of tennis rackets and cricket bats that the factory must manufacture to earn the maximum profit. Make it as an LPP and solve it graphically.
