Answer

Here, it is given that vectors $\vec{\text{a}}=2\hat{\text{i}}-3\hat{\text{j}}$ and $\vec{\text{b}}=-6\hat{\text{i}}+\text{m}\hat{\text{j}}$ are collinear. So, $\text{a}=\lambda\text{b}$, for a scalar $\lambda$$2\hat{\text{i}}-3\hat{\text{j}}=\lambda\big(-6\hat{\text{i}}+\text{m}\hat{\text{j}}\big)$
$2\hat{\text{i}}-3\hat{\text{j}}=-6\lambda\hat{\text{i}}+\text{m}\lambda\hat{\text{j}}\big)$ Comparing the coefficients of LHS and RHS, $2=-6\lambda$ $\lambda=\frac{2}{-6}$ $\lambda=\frac{-1}3\ \dots(\text{i})$ $-3=\lambda\text{m}$ $\lambda=\frac{-3}{\text{m}}\ \dots(\text{ii})$ From (i) and (ii), $\frac{-1}3=\frac{-3}{\text{m}}$ $\text{m}=3\times3$ $=9$ $\therefore\ \text{m}=9$

A dealer wishes to purchase a number of fans and sewing machines. He has only Rs. 5,760 to invest and has space for at most 20 items. A fan and sewing machine cost Rs. 360 and Rs. 240 respectively. He can sell a fan at a profit of Rs. 22 and sewing machine at a profit of Rs. 18. Assuming that he can sell whatever he buys, how should he invest his money in order to maximise his profit ? Translate the problem into LPP and solve it graphically.
