Question
Solve the following determinant equations:
$\begin{vmatrix}\text{x}+1&3&5\\2&\text{x}+2&5\\2&3&\text{x}+4\end{vmatrix}=0$

Answer

Let $\begin{vmatrix}\text{x}+1&3&5\\2&\text{x}+2&5\\2&3&\text{x}+4\end{vmatrix}$
$=\begin{vmatrix}\text{x}+9&3&5\\\text{x}+9&\text{x}+2&5\\\text{x}+9&3&\text{x}+4\end{vmatrix} [$Applying $C_1 = C_1 + C_2 + C_3]$
$=(\text{x}+9)\begin{vmatrix}1&3&5\\1&\text{x}+2&5\\1&3&\text{x}+4\end{vmatrix}$
$=(\text{x}+9)\begin{vmatrix}1&3&5\\0&\text{x}-1&0\\1&3&\text{x}+4\end{vmatrix}=0[ $Applying $R_2 → R_2 - R_1]$
$=(\text{x}+9)\begin{vmatrix}1&3&5\\0&\text{x}-1&0\\1&0&\text{x}-1\end{vmatrix} [$Applying $R_3 → R_3 - R_1]$
$=(\text{x}+9)(\text{x}-1)^2=0$
$\text{x}=-9,1,1$

Of the students in a college, it is known that $60\%$ reside in hostel and $40\%$ are day scholars (not residing in hostel). Previous year results report that $30\%$ of all students who reside in hostel attain 'A' grade and $20\%$ of day scholars attain 'A' grade in their annual examination. At the end of the year, one student is chosen at random from the college and he has an 'A' grade, what is the probability that the student is a hostlier?
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.
