Question
Using elementary row operations (transformations), find the inverse of the following matrix:
$\begin{bmatrix} 0 & 1 & 2 \\ 1 & 2 & 3 \\ 3 & 1 & 0 \end{bmatrix}$

Answer

$\text{A = IA}$
$\begin{bmatrix} 0 & 1 & 2 \\ 1 & 2 & 3 \\ 3 & 1 & 0 \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 1 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 1 \end{bmatrix} \text{A}$
Using elementry row trans formations to get
$\begin{bmatrix} 1 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 1 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 1 \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} 3 & -2 & 1 \\ -9 & 6 & -2 \\ 5 & -3 & 1 \end{bmatrix}\text{A}$
$\Rightarrow \text{A}^{-1} = \begin{bmatrix} 3 & -2 & 1 \\ -9 & 6 & -2 \\ 5 & -3& 1 \end{bmatrix}$

An aeroplane can carry a maximum of 200 passengers. A profit of Rs.1000 is made on each executive class ticket and a profit of Rs.600 is made on each economy class ticket. The airline reserves atleast 20 seats for executive class. However, atleast 4 times as many passengers prefer to travel by economy class than by the executive class. Determine how many tickets of each type must be sold in order to maximise the profit of the airline. What is the maximum profit?
