Question
Show that A′A and AA′ are both symmetric matrices for any matrix A.

Answer

Let P = A'A
$\therefore$ P' = (AA')'
= A'(A')' $[\because$ (AB')' = BA'$]$
= A'A = P
So, A’A is symmetric matrix for any matrix A.
Similarly, let Q = AA’
$\therefore$ Q' = (AA')' = (A')'(A)'
= A(A')' = Q
So, AA’ is symmetric matrix for any matrix A.

An automobile manufacturer makes automobiles and trucks in a factory that is divided into two shops. Shop A, which performs the basic assembly operation, must work 5 man-days on each truck but only 2 man-days on each automobile. Shop B, which performs finishing operations, must work 3 man-days for each automobile or truck that it produces. Because of men and machine limitations, shop A has 180 man-days per week available while shop B has 135 man-days per week. If the manufacturer makes a profit of Rs 30000 on each truck and Rs 2000 on each automobile, how many of each should he produce to maximize his profit? Formulate this as a LPP.
