Question
Without expanding, show that the values of the following determinant are zero:
$\begin{vmatrix}1&43&6\\7&35&4\\3&17&2\end{vmatrix}$

Answer

$\triangle=\begin{vmatrix}1&43&6\\7&35&4\\3&17&2\end{vmatrix}$
$=\begin{vmatrix}1&1&6\\7&7&4\\3&3&2\end{vmatrix}=0$ [Appliying C2 → C2 - 7C3]

A manufacturer considers that men and women workers are equally efficient and so he pays them at the same rate. He has 30 and 17 units of workers (male and female) and capital respectively, which he uses to produce two types of goods A and B. To produce one unit of A, 2 workers and 3 units of capital are required while 3 workers and 1 unit of capital is required to produce one unit of B. If A and B are priced at Rs. 100 and Rs. 120 per unit respectively, how should he use his resources to maximise the total revenue? Form the above as an LPP and solve graphically. Do you agree with this view of the manufacturer that men and women workers are equally efficient and so should be paid at the same rate?
A medical company has factories at two places, A and B. From these places, supply is made to each of its three agencies situated at P, Q and R. The monthly requirements of the agencies are respectively 40, 40 and 50 packets of the medicines, while the production capacity of the factories, A and B, are 60 and 70 packets respectively. The transportation cost per packet from the factories to the agencies are given below:

How many packets from each factory be transported to each agency so that the cost of transportation is minimum? Also find the minimum cost?
