Question

Show that $\begin{vmatrix}\text{x}-3&\text{x}-4&\text{x}-\alpha\\\text{x}-2&\text{x}-3&\text{x}-\beta\\\text{x}-1&\text{x}-2&\text{x}-\gamma\end{vmatrix}=0,$ where $\alpha,\beta,\gamma$ are in A.P.

Answer

Since, $\alpha,\beta,\gamma$ are in A.P, $2\beta=\alpha+\gamma$
$\text{L.H.S}=\begin{vmatrix}\text{x}-3&\text{x}-4&\text{x}-\alpha\\\text{x}-2&\text{x}-3&\text{x}-\beta\\\text{x}-1&\text{x}-2&\text{x}-\gamma\end{vmatrix}$
$\text{R}_2\rightarrow\text{R}_2-\frac{\text{R}_1}{2}-\frac{\text{R}_3}{2}$
$=\begin{vmatrix}\text{x}-3&\text{x}-4&\text{x}-\alpha\$\text{x}-2)-\frac{\text{x}-3}{2}-\frac{\text{x}-1}{2}&(\text{x}-3)-\frac{\text{x}-4}{2}-\frac{\text{x}-2}{2}&(\text{x}-\beta)-\frac{\text{x}-\alpha}{2}-\frac{\text{x}-\gamma}{2}\\\text{x}-1&\text{x}-2&\text{x}-\gamma\end{vmatrix}$
$=\begin{vmatrix}\text{x}-3&\text{x}-4&\text{x}-\alpha\\0&0&0\\\text{x}-1&\text{x}-2&\text{x}-\gamma\end{vmatrix}$ $[\because2\beta=\alpha+\gamma]$
$=0$
$=\text{R.H.S}$

A factory has three machines A, B and C, which produce $100, 200$ and $300$ items of a particular type daily. The machines produce $2\%, 3\%$ and $5\%$ defective items respectively.

A wholesale dealer deals in two kinds, $A$ and $B$ (say) of mixture of nuts. Each kg of mixture $A$ contains $60$ grams of almonds, $30$ grams of cashew nuts and $30$ grams of hazel nuts. Each kg of mixture $B$ contains $30$ grams of almonds, $60$ grams of cashew nuts and $180$ grams of hazel nuts. The remainder of both mixtures is per nuts. The dealer is contemplating to use mixtures $A$ and $B$ to make a bag which will contain at least $240$ grams of almonds, $300$ grams of cashew nuts and $540$ grams of hazel nuts. Mixture $A$ costs Rs. $8$ per kg. and mixture $B$ costs Rs. $12$ per kg. Assuming that mixtures A and B are uniform, use graphical method to determine the number of kg . of each mixture which he should use to minimise the cost of the bag.

If A and B are two events such that $2\text{P(A)}=\text{P(B)}=\frac{5}{13}$ and $\text{P}\Big(\frac{\text{A}}{\text{B}}\Big)=\frac{2}{5}$ find $\text{P}(\text{A}\cap\text{B}).$
