Find matrix A such that
$\begin{pmatrix} 2 & -1 \\ 1 & 0 \\ -3 & 4 \end{pmatrix}\text{A} = \begin{pmatrix} -1 & -8 \\ 1 & -2 \\ 9 & 22 \end{pmatrix}$
Answer
$\text{Let} \begin{pmatrix} 2 & -1 \\ 1 & 0 \\ -3 & 4 \end{pmatrix}\begin{pmatrix} \text{a} & \text{b} \\ \text{c} & \text{d} \end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix} -1 & -8 \\ 1 & -2 \\ 9 & 22 \end{pmatrix}$
$\Rightarrow \begin{pmatrix} \text{2a - c} & \text{2b - d} \\ \text{a} & \text{b} \\ \text{-3a + 4c} & \text{-3b + 4d} \end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix} -1 & -8 \\ 1 & -2 \\ 9 & 22 \end{pmatrix}$
$\Rightarrow $ 2a – c = –1, 2b – d = –8
a = 1, b = –2
–3a + 4c = 9, –3b + 4d = 22

Question 94 Marks
The management committee of a residential colony decided to award some of its members (say x) for honesty, some (say y) for helping others and some others (say z) for supervising the workers to keep the colony neat and clean. The sum of all the awardees is 12. Three times the sum of awardees for cooperation and supervision added to two times the number of awardees for honesty is 33. If the sum of the number of awardees for honesty and supervision is twice the number of awardees for helping others, using matrix method, find the number of awardees of each category. Apart from these values, namely, honesty, cooperation and supervision, suggest one more value which the management of the colony must include for awards.
Answer
According to question
x + y + z = 12
2x + 3y + 3z = 33
x - 2y + z = 0
The above system of linear equation can be written in matrix form as
AX = B
Where A $ = \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 1 &1 \\[0.3em] 2& 3 & 3 \\[0.3em] 1 &-2 &1 \end{bmatrix},\text{X} =\begin{bmatrix} \text{x} \\[0.3em] \text{y} \\[0.3em] \text{z} \end{bmatrix},\text{B} = \begin{bmatrix} 12 \\[0.3em] 33\\[0.3em] 0 \end{bmatrix}$
$ \text{Now}|\text{A}|= \begin{vmatrix} 1 & 1 &1 \\[0.3em] 2& 3 & 3 \\[0.3em] 1 &-2 &1 \end{vmatrix} =1 (3 + 6) - 1 (2 -3) + 1 (-4 - 3) = 9 + 1 -7 = 3$
$\begin{matrix} \text{A}_{11} = 9,& \text{A}_{12} = 1, &\text{A}_{13} = -7 \\ \text{A}_{21} = -3 , & \text{A}_{22} = 0 , &\text{A}_{23} = 3 \\ \text{A}_{31} = 0, &\text{A}_{32} = -1, &\text{A}_{33} = 1 \end{matrix} $
Adj A $= \begin{bmatrix} 9& 1 &-7 \\ -3&0 &3 \\ 0&-1&1 \end{bmatrix}^\text{T} = \begin{bmatrix} 9& -3 &0 \\ 1&0 &-1 \\ -7&3&1 \end{bmatrix}$
$\therefore\text{A}^{-1} = \frac{1}{3} \begin{bmatrix} 9& -3 &0 \\ 1&0 &-1 \\ -7&3&1 \end{bmatrix} $
$\because\text{AX} = \text{B}\Rightarrow\text{X} = \text{A}^{-1}\text{B}$
$\therefore\begin{bmatrix} \text{x} \\ \text{y} \\ \text{z} \end{bmatrix} = \frac{1}{3}\begin{bmatrix} 9 & -3 & 0 \\ 1 & 0 & - 1 \\-7 & 3 &1 \end{bmatrix} .\begin{bmatrix} 12\\ 33 \\0\end{bmatrix}$
$\therefore\begin{bmatrix} \text{x} \\ \text{y} \\ \text{z} \end{bmatrix} = \frac{1}{3}\begin{bmatrix} 108 - 99 \\ 12 + 0 + 0 \\-84 + 99 \end{bmatrix}$
$\therefore\begin{bmatrix} \text{x} \\ \text{y} \\ \text{z} \end{bmatrix} = \frac{1}{3}\begin{bmatrix} 9 \\ 12 \\15 \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} 3 \\ 4 \\5 \end{bmatrix}\Rightarrow\text{x} = 3,\text{y} = 4,\text{z} = 5$
No. of awards for honesty = 3
No. of awards for helping others = 4
No. of awards for supervising = 5.
The persons, who work in the field of health and hygiene should also be awarded.

Question 114 Marks
Using matrices, solve the following system of equations:

4x + 3y + 2z = 60.

x + 2y + 3z = 45.

6x + 2y + 3z = 70.

Answer
Given system of equations can be written as

$\begin{pmatrix} 4 & 3 & 2 \\ 1 & 2 & 3 \\ 6 & 2 & 3 \end{pmatrix}\begin{pmatrix} \text{x} \\ \text{y}\\ \text{z} \end{pmatrix}=\begin{pmatrix} \text{60} \\ \text{45}\\ \text{70} \end{pmatrix}\text{OR A}\cdot\text{X = B}$

|A | = 4(0) –3 (–15) + 2 (–10) = 45 – 20 = 25 $\neq$ 0 $\therefore$ X = A–1 B

Cofactors are $\begin{pmatrix} \text{C}_{11}=0 & \text{C}_{12}=+15 & \text{C}_{13}=-10 \\ \text{C}_{21}=-5 & \text{C}_{22}=0 & \text{C}_{23}=10 \\ \text{C}_{31}=5 & \text{C}_{32}=-10 & \text{C}_{33}=5 \end{pmatrix}$

$\therefore\text{A}^{-1}=\frac{1}{25}\begin{pmatrix} 0 & -5 & 5 \\ 15 & 0 & -10 \\ -10 & 10 & 5 \end{pmatrix}$

$\therefore\begin{pmatrix} \text{x} \\ \text{y} \\ \text{z} \end{pmatrix}=\frac{1}{25}\begin{pmatrix} 0 & -5 & 5 \\ 15 & 0 & -10 \\ -10 & 10 & 5 \end{pmatrix}\begin{pmatrix} \text{60} \\ \text{45} \\ \text{70} \end{pmatrix}=\begin{pmatrix} \text{5} \\ \text{8} \\ \text{8} \end{pmatrix}$

|A| = 1 (– 12 + 6) –2 (– 8 – 6) – 3 (– 6 – 9)

= – 6 + 28 + 45 = 67 ≠ 0

$\therefore$ A−1 exists

$\text{A}^{-1}=\frac{1}{|\text{A}|}\text{Adj. A}$

$\text{Adj. A}=\begin{pmatrix} -6 & 17 & 13 \\ 14 & 5 & -8 \\ -15 & 9 & -1 \end{pmatrix}$

$\Rightarrow\text{ A}^{-1}=\frac{1}{67}\begin{pmatrix} -6 & 17 & 13 \\ 14 & 5 & -8 \\ -15 & 9 & -1 \end{pmatrix}$

$\therefore\text{ X}=\begin{pmatrix} \text{x} \\ \text{y}\\ \text{z} \end{pmatrix}=\frac{1}{67}\begin{pmatrix} -6 & 17 & 13 \\ 14 & 5 & -8 \\ -15 & 9 & -1 \end{pmatrix}\begin{pmatrix} \text{-4} \\ \text{2}\\ \text{11} \end{pmatrix}=\begin{pmatrix} \text{3}\\ \text{-2}\\ \text{1} \end{pmatrix}$

Writing the system of equations as

$ \begin{pmatrix} 3 & -1 & 1\\ 2 & -2 & 3\\ 1 & 1 & -1 \end{pmatrix} \begin{pmatrix} \text{x} \\ \text{y} \\ \text{z} \end{pmatrix}=\begin{pmatrix} \text{5} \\ \text{7} \\ \text{-1} \end{pmatrix}$ i.e. AX = B $\therefore$ X = A-1B

|A| = 3 (-1) + 1 (-5) + 1(4) = -3 - 5 + 4 = -4 $\neq$ 0

$\text{A}_{11}=+\begin{vmatrix}-2&3\\1&-1 \end{vmatrix}=(2-3)=-1$

$\text{A}_{12}=-\begin{vmatrix}2&3\\1&-1 \end{vmatrix}=-(-2-3)=5$

$\text{A}_{13}=+\begin{vmatrix}2&-2\\1&1 \end{vmatrix}=(2+2)=4$

$\text{A}_{21}=-\begin{vmatrix}-1&1\\1&-1 \end{vmatrix}=-(1-1)=0$

$\text{A}_{22}=+\begin{vmatrix}3&1\\1&-1 \end{vmatrix}=(-3-1)=-4$

$\text{A}_{32}=-\begin{vmatrix}3&1\\2&3 \end{vmatrix}=-(9-2)=-7$

$\text{A}_{33}=+\begin{vmatrix}3&-1\\2&-2 \end{vmatrix}=(-6+2)=-4$

$\text{Adj A}=+\begin{vmatrix}-1&0&-1\\5&-4&-7\\4&-4&-4 \end{vmatrix}$

a11 = -1, a12 = 5, a13 = 4,

a21 = 0, a22 = -4, a23 = -4

a31 = -1, a32 = -7, a33 = -4,

$\therefore\text{ }\text{ } \text{ A}^{-1}=-\frac{1}{4}\begin{pmatrix} -1 & 0 & -1\\ 5 & -4 & -7\\ 4 & -4 & -4 \end{pmatrix}$

$\therefore\text{ }\text{ } \begin{pmatrix} \text{x} \\ \text{y} \\ \text{z} \end{pmatrix}=-\frac{1}{4}\begin{pmatrix} -1 & 0 & -1\\ 5 & -4 & -7\\ 4 & -4 & -4 \end{pmatrix} =\begin{pmatrix} \text{5} \\ \text{7} \\ \text{-1} \end{pmatrix}\begin{pmatrix} \text{1} \\ \text{-1} \\ \text{1} \end{pmatrix}$

Question 184 Marks
Find matrix X so that  $\text{X} \begin{pmatrix} 1 & 2 & 3 \\ \\ 4 & 5 & 6 \end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix} -7 & -8 & -9 \\ \\ 4 & 5 & 6 \end{pmatrix}.$
Answer
Given: $\text{X} = \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 2 & 3 \\ 4 & 4 & 6 \\ \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} -7 & -8 & -9 \\ 2 & 4 & 6 \\ \end{bmatrix}$
Since $\text{X} = \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 2 & 3 \\ 4 & 4 & 6 \\ \end{bmatrix}$ is a $2\times 3$ matrix and the product is also a $2\times 3$ matrix so, X will be a $2\times 2$ matrix.
Let $\text{X} = \begin{bmatrix} x & y \\ a & b \\ \end{bmatrix}$ Then the given equation becomes,
$\begin{bmatrix} x & y \\ a & b \\ \end{bmatrix} \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 2 & 3 \\ 4 & 5 & 6 \\ \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} -7 & -8 & -9 \\ 2 & 4 & 6 \\ \end{bmatrix}$
$\Rightarrow \begin{bmatrix} x + 4y & 2x + 5y & 3x + 6y \\ a + 4b & 2a + 5b & 3a + 6b \\ \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} -7 & -8 & -9 \\ 2 & 4 & 6 \\ \end{bmatrix}$
$\Rightarrow x + 4y = -7, 2x + 5y = -8, 3x + 6y = -9\\ \text{ }\text{ }\text{ }\text{ }\text{ }a + 4b = 2, 2a + 5b = 4, 3a + 6b = 6\\ \Rightarrow x = 1, y = -2, a = 2, b = 0$
Thus, X will be $\text{X} = \begin{bmatrix} 1 & -2 \\ 2 & 0 \\ \end{bmatrix}$

A12 = –2, A22 = 1, A32 = –3
A13 = –4, A23 = 2, A33 = 5
$\text{A}^{-1} =\frac{1}{11} \begin{bmatrix} 7 & 2 & -6 \\ -2 & 1 & -3 \\ -4 & 2 & 5 \end{bmatrix} $
Given system of equations can be written as AX = B, where
$\text{A}=\begin{bmatrix} 1 & -2 & 0 \\ 2 & 1& 3 \\ 0 & -2 & 1 \end{bmatrix},\text{X}=\begin{bmatrix} \text{x} \\ \text{y} \\ \text{z} \end{bmatrix} ,\text{B}= \begin{bmatrix} 10 \\ 8\\ 7 \end{bmatrix}$
$\text{X}=\text{A}^{-1}\text{B}= \frac{1}{11} \begin{bmatrix} 7 & 2 & -6 \\ -2 & 1 & -3 \\ -4 & 2 & 5 \end{bmatrix} \begin{bmatrix} 10 \\8 \\ 7 \end{bmatrix}$

|A| = 27 $\ne$ 0, A–1 exist
A11 = 4, A21 = 17, A13 = 3
A12 = –1, A22 = –11, A32 = 6
A13 = 5, A23 = 1, A33 = –3
$\therefore\ \text{A}^{-1} = \frac{1}{27}\begin{bmatrix} 4 & 17 & 3 \\ -1 & -11 & 6 \\ 5 & 1 & -3 \end{bmatrix}$
Given system of equations can be written as AX = B where
$\text{A}=\begin{bmatrix} 1 & 2 & 5 \\ 1 & -1 & -1 \\ 2 & 3 & -1 \end{bmatrix},\text{X}=\begin{bmatrix} \text{x} \\ \text{y} \\ \text{z} \end{bmatrix},\text {B}= \begin{bmatrix} 10 \\ -2 \\ -11 \end{bmatrix}$
Now, AX = B ⇒ X = A–1$=\frac{1}{27}\begin{bmatrix} 4 & 17 & 3 \\ -1 & -11 & 6 \\ 5 & 1 & -3 \end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix} 10 \\ -2 \\ -11 \end{bmatrix}= \begin{bmatrix} -1 \\ -2 \\ 3 \end{bmatrix}$

Question 214 Marks
A coaching institute of English (subject) conducts classes in two batches I and II and fees for rich and poor children are different. In batch I, it has 20 poor and 5 rich children and total monthly collection is ₹ 9,000, whereas in batch II, it has 5 poor and 25 rich children and total monthly collection is ₹ 26,000. Using matrix method, find monthly fees paid by each child of two types. What values the coaching institute is inculcating in the society?
Answer
Let each poor child pay ₹ x per month and each rich child pay ₹ y per month
$\therefore \text{20x + 5y = 9000}$
$\text{5x + 25y = 26000}$
In matrix form,
$\begin{bmatrix} 20 & 5 \\ 5 & 25 \\ \end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix} \text{x} \\ \text{y} \\ \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} 9000 \\ 26000 \\ \end{bmatrix}$
$\text{AX = B} \Rightarrow \text{X} = \text{A}^{-1} \text{B}$
$\text{A}^{-1} = \frac{1}{475} \begin{bmatrix} 25 & -5 \\ -5 & 20 \\ \end{bmatrix}$
$\begin{bmatrix} \text{x} \\ \text{y} \\ \end{bmatrix} = \frac{1}{475} \begin{bmatrix} 25 & -5 \\ -5 & 20 \\ \end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix} 9000 \\ 26000 \\ \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} 200 \\ 1000 \\ \end{bmatrix}$

The monthly incomes of Aryan and Babban are in the ratio 3 : 4 and their monthly expenditures are in the ratio 5 : 7. If each saves 15,000 per month, find their monthly incomes using matrix method. This problem reflects which value?
Answer
Let the income be 3x, 4x and expenditures, 5y, 7y

$\therefore\text{3x - 5y = 15000}$

$\therefore\text{4x - 7y = 15000}$

$ \begin{bmatrix} 3 & -5 \\ 4 & -7 \\ \end{bmatrix} \begin{bmatrix} \text{x} \\ \text{y} \\ \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} 15000 \\ 15000 \\ \end{bmatrix} $

$ \begin{bmatrix} \text{x} \\ \text{y} \\ \end{bmatrix} = -1 \begin{bmatrix} -7 & 5 \\ -4 & 3 \\ \end{bmatrix} \begin{bmatrix} 15000 \\ 15000 \\ \end{bmatrix} $

$\Rightarrow \text{x} = 30000, \text{y} = 15000$

Question 324 Marks
Two schools P and Q want to award their selected students on the values of Discipline, Politeness and Punctuality. The school P wants to award ₹ x each,₹ y each and ₹ z each for the three respective values to its 3, 2 and 1 students with a total award money of ₹ 1,000. School Q wants to spend ₹ 1,500 to award its 4, 1 and 3 students on the respective values (by giving the same award money for the three values as before). If the total amount of awards for one prize one each value is ₹ 600, using matrices, find the award money for each value.

Apart from the above three values, suggest one more value for awards.

Answer
Here $ \begin{matrix} 3\text{x }+ & 2\text{y } +& \text{z } = 1000 \\ 4\text{x }+ & \text{y } +& 3\text{z } = 1500 \\ \text{x } +& \text{y } +& \text{z } = 600 \end{matrix}$
$\therefore \begin{pmatrix} 3 & 2 & 1 \\ 4 & 1& 3 \\ 1 & 1 & 1 \end{pmatrix} \begin{pmatrix} \text{x}\\ \text{y} \\ \text{z} \end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix} 1000 \\ 1500 \\ 600 \end{pmatrix}\text{ or }\text{A. X} = \text{B}$
|A | = 3 (– 2) – 2 (1) + 1 (3) = – 5 $\neq$ 0 $\therefore$ X = A–1 B
Co-factors are
$\begin{matrix} \text{A}_{11} = -2, & \text{A}_{12} = -1, & \text{A}_{13} = 3 \\ \text{A}_{21} = -1, & \text{A}_{22} = 2, & \text{A}_{23} = -1 \\ \text{A}_{31} = 5, & \text{A}_{32}= -5, & \text{A}_{33} = -5 \end{matrix}$
$\therefore\begin{pmatrix} \text{x} \\ \text{y} \\ \text{z} \end{pmatrix} = -\frac{1}{5}\begin{pmatrix} -2 & - 1 & 5 \\ - 1 & 2 & -2 \\ 3 & -1 & -5 \end{pmatrix}\begin{pmatrix} 1000\\ 1500 \\ 600 \end{pmatrix}$
$\therefore$ x = 100, y = 200, z = 300
i.e.Rs. 100 for discipline,Rs 200 for politeness&Rs. 300 for punctuality
One more value like sincerity, truthfulness etc.

Question 334 Marks
A school wants to award its students for the values of Honesty, Regularity and Hard work with a total cash award of6,000. Three times the award money for Hard work added to that given for honesty amounts to11,000. The award money given for Honesty and Hardwork together is double the one given for Regularity. Represent the above situation algebraically and find the award money for each value, using matrix method. Apart from these values, namely, Honesty, Regularity and Hard work, suggest one more value which the school must include for awards.
Answer
Let x, y and z be the awarded money for honesty, Regularity and hard work.
From question
x + y +z = 6000 - - -  -(i)
x + 3z =11000 - - - - (ii)
x +z = 2y $\Rightarrow$x – 2y +z = 0 - - - - - - (iii)
The above system of three equations may be written in matrix form as
AX = B,
where $\text{A} = \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 1 & 1 \\[0.3em] 1 & 0 & 3 \\[0.3em] 1 & -2 & 1 \end{bmatrix},\text{X} = \begin{bmatrix} \text{x} \\[0.3em] \text{y} \\[0.3em] \text{z} \end{bmatrix},\text{B} = \begin{bmatrix} 6000 \\[0.3em] 11000 \\[0.3em] 0 \end{bmatrix}$
Now $|\text{A}| = \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 1 & 1 \\[0.3em] 1 & 0 & 3 \\[0.3em] 1 & -2 & 1 \end{bmatrix} = 1 ( 0 + 6) - 1 (1 - 3) + 1 (- 2 - 0)$
= 6 + 2 – 2 = 6 $\neq$0
Hence A–1 exist
If Aij is co-factor of aij then
$\text{A}_{11} =(-1)^{1+1}\begin{bmatrix} 0 & 3\\[0.3em] -2 &1 \\[0.3em] \end{bmatrix} = 0 + 6 = 6 $
$\text{A}_{12} =(-1)^{1+2}\begin{bmatrix} 1 & 3 \\[0.3em] 1 &1 \\[0.3em] \end{bmatrix} = -(1-3) = 2; \text{A}_{13} = (-1)^{1+3}\begin{bmatrix} 1 & 0 \\[0.3em] 1 &-2 \\[0.3em] \end{bmatrix} = (-2-0) = -2 $
$\text{A}_{21} =(-1)^{2+1}\begin{bmatrix} 1 & 1 \\[0.3em] -2 &1 \\[0.3em] \end{bmatrix} = -(1+2) = -3; \text{A}_{22} = (-1)^{2+2}\begin{bmatrix} 1 & 1 \\[0.3em] 1 &1 \\[0.3em] \end{bmatrix} = 0$
$\text{A}_{23} =(-1)^{2+3}\begin{bmatrix} 1 & 1 \\[0.3em] 1 &-2 \\[0.3em] \end{bmatrix} = (-2-1) = 3; \text{A}_{31} = (-1)^{3+1}\begin{bmatrix} 1 & 1 \\[0.3em] 0 &3 \\[0.3em] \end{bmatrix} =3-0=3$
$\text{A}_{32} =(-1)^{3+2}\begin{bmatrix} 1 & 1 \\[0.3em] 1 &3\\[0.3em] \end{bmatrix} = -(3-1) = -2; \text{A}_{33} = (-1)^{3+3}\begin{bmatrix} 1 & 1 \\[0.3em] 1 &0 \\[0.3em] \end{bmatrix} =0-1=-1$
$adj\text{A} = \begin{bmatrix} 6 & 2 &-2 \\[0.3em] -3 &0 & 3 \\[0.3em] 3 & -2 & -1 \end{bmatrix}^{\text{T}} = \begin{bmatrix} 6 & -3 &3 \\[0.3em] 2 &0 & -2 \\[0.3em] -2 & 3 & -1 \end{bmatrix}$
$\therefore \text{A}^{-1} = .\frac{1}{|\text{A}|}.adj\text{A}=\frac{1}{6} = \begin{bmatrix} 6 & -3 &3 \\[0.3em] 2 &0 & -2 \\[0.3em] -2 & 3 & -1 \end{bmatrix}$
$\because \text{ AX} = \text{B}\Rightarrow\text{X} = \text{A}^{-1}\text{B}$
$\Rightarrow \begin{bmatrix} \text{x} \\[0.3em] \text{y} \\[0.3em] \text{z} \end{bmatrix} =\frac{1}{6}\begin{bmatrix} 6 & -3 & 3 \\[0.3em] 2 & 0 & -2 \\[0.3em] -2 & 3 & -1 \end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix} 6000 \\[0.3em] 11000 \\[0.3em] 0 \end{bmatrix}$
$\frac{1}{6}\begin{bmatrix} 36000 - 33000 + 0 \\[0.3em] 12000 + 0 + 0 \\[0.3em] -12000 + 33000 + 0 \end{bmatrix} = \frac{1}{6}\begin{bmatrix} 3000 \\[0.3em] 12000 \\[0.3em] 21000 \end{bmatrix}$
$\Rightarrow\begin{bmatrix} \text{x} \\[0.3em] \text{y} \\[0.3em] \text{z} \end{bmatrix} =\begin{bmatrix} 500 \\[0.3em] 2000 \\[0.3em] 3500 \end{bmatrix}$
$\Rightarrow$ x =500, y = 2000, z = 3500
Except above three values, school must include discipline for award as discipline has great importance in student’s life.

Question 344 Marks
Using matrices, solve the following system of linear equations:

x – y + 2z = 7.
3x + 4y - 5z = –5.
2x – y + 3z = 12.

Answer
Given equations can be written as

$\begin{pmatrix} 1 & -1 & 2 \\ 3 & 4 & -5 \\ 2 & -1 & 3 \end{pmatrix}\begin{pmatrix} \text{x} \\ \text{y} \\ \text{z} \end{pmatrix}=\begin{pmatrix} \text{7} \\ \text{-5} \\ \text{12} \end{pmatrix} \text{or AX = B}$

| A | = 1(7) + 1(19) + 2 (–11) = 4 $\neq$ 0 $\therefore$ X = A–1B

a11 = 7, a12 = -19, a13 = -11

a21 = 1, a22 = -1, a23 = -1

a31 = -3, a32 = 11, a33 = 7 

$\Rightarrow$    $\text{A}^{-1}=\frac{1}{4}\begin{pmatrix} 7 & 1 & -3 \\ -19 & -1 & 11 \\ -11 & -1 & 7 \end{pmatrix}$

$\therefore$ $\begin{pmatrix} \text{x} \\ \text{y} \\ \text{z} \end{pmatrix}$ = $\frac{1}{4}\begin{pmatrix} 7 & 1 & -3 \\ -19 & -1 & 11 \\ -11 & -1 & 7 \end{pmatrix}\begin{pmatrix} \text{7} \\ \text{-5} \\ \text{12} \end{pmatrix}=\begin{pmatrix} \text{2} \\ \text{1} \\ \text{3} \end{pmatrix}$

$\therefore$ x = 2, y = 1, z = 3.

Answer
Writing the given system of equations as 

$\begin{pmatrix} 2 & 3 & 10 \\ 4 & -6 & 5\\ 6 & 9 & -20 \end{pmatrix}\begin{pmatrix} \frac{1}{\text{x}} \\ \frac{1}{\text{y}} \\ \frac{1}{\text{z}} \end{pmatrix}=\begin{pmatrix} 4 \\ 1 \\ 2 \end{pmatrix} \text{or } \text{A}\cdot\text{X}=B$

|A| = 2(120-45)-3(-80-30)+10(36+36) = 1200, $\therefore$ X = A-1 B.

C11 = 75,   C12 = 110,   C13 = 75

cofactors are C21 = 150, C22 = -100,  C23 = 0

C31 = 75,   C32 = 30,  C33 = -24

A-1 $=\frac{1}{1200}\begin{pmatrix} 75 & 150 & 75 \\ 110 & -100 & 30\\ 72 & 0 & -24 \end{pmatrix}$

Question 404 Marks
$\text{Let A} = \begin{bmatrix} 3 & 2 & 5 \\ 4 & 1 & 3 \\ 0 & 6 & 7 \end{bmatrix}. $ Express A as sum of two matrices such that one is symmetric and the other is skew symmetric.
Answer
$\text{A}= \begin{bmatrix} 3 & 2 & 5 \\ 4 & 1 & 3 \\ 0 & 6 & 7 \end{bmatrix}, \text{A}' = \begin{bmatrix} 3 & 4 &0 \\ 2 & 1 & 6 \\ 5 & 3 & 7 \end{bmatrix} $

$\therefore \frac{A + A'}{2} = \frac{1}{2} \begin{bmatrix} 6 & 6 & 5 \\ 6& 2 & 9 \\ 5 & 9 & 14 \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} 3 & 3 & \frac{5}{2} \\ 3 & 1 & \frac{9}{2} \\ \frac{5}{2} & \frac{9}{2} & 7 \end{bmatrix} \Rightarrow \text{Symmetric} $

$\frac{A- A'}{2} = \frac{1}{2} \begin{bmatrix} 0 & -2 & 5 \\ 2 & 0 & -3 \\ -5 & 3 & 0 \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} 0 & -1 & \frac{5}{2} \\ 1 & 0 & \frac{-3}{2} \\ \frac{-5}{2} & \frac{3}{2} & 0 \end{bmatrix} \Rightarrow \text{Skew symmetric} $

Question 414 Marks
Using matrices, solve the following system of equations:

$x + 2y - 3z = 6$

$3x + 2y - 2z =3$

$2x - y + z = 2$

Answer
The given system of equations can be written as:

$\text{A X = B ,where A} = \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 2 & -3 \\ 3 & 2 & -2 \\ 2 & -1 & 1 \end{bmatrix}_{,} \text{X} = \begin{bmatrix} x \\ y \\z \end{bmatrix}_{,} \text{B}= \begin{bmatrix} 6 \\ 3 \\2 \end{bmatrix}$

$\therefore \text{X} = \text{A}^{-1} \text{B}$

$| \text{A}| = 7 \neq 0$

For finding cofactors:

$\begin{matrix} \text{C}_{11} = 0 & \text{C}_{12} = -7 & \text{C}_{13} = -7 \\ \text{C}_{21} = 1 & \text{C}_{22} = 7 & \text{C}_{23} = 5 \\ \text{C}_{31} = 2 & \text{C}_{32} = -7 & \text{C}_{33} = -4 \end{matrix} $

$\Rightarrow \text{A}^{-1} = \frac{1}{7} \begin{bmatrix} 0 & 1 & 2 \\ -7 & 7 & -7 \\ -7 & 5 & -4 \end{bmatrix} $

$\therefore \text{X} = \begin{bmatrix} \text{x} \\ \text{y} \\ \text{z} \end{bmatrix}= \begin{bmatrix} 0 & 1 & 2 \\ -7 & 7 & -7 \\ -7 & 5 & -4 \end{bmatrix} \begin{bmatrix} \text{6} \\ \text{3} \\ \text{2} \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} \text{1} \\ \text{-5} \\ \text{-5} \end{bmatrix}$

$\therefore\text{ x = 1, y = -5, z = -5}$

Question 424 Marks
Using matrices, solve the following system of equations:

$\text{x + y + z} = 3, \text{x} - 2{\text{y}} + 3{z}=2\ \text{and} \ 2 \text{x - y + z} = 2 $

 

Answer
The system of equations can be written as:

AX = B, where $\text{A}= \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 1 & 1 \\ 1 & -2 & 3 \\ 2 & -1 & 1 \end{bmatrix} , X = \begin{bmatrix} x\\ y\\ z\end{bmatrix} , B = \begin{bmatrix} 3\\ 2\\ 2\end{bmatrix} $

OR

$X = A^{-1} B$

$|A| = 1 (- 2 + 3) -1 (1 - 6) + 1(-1+4) = 1+5+3 = 9$

$\text{A}_{11}=+\begin{vmatrix}-2&3\\-1 & 1 \end{vmatrix}=-2+3=1$

$\text{A}_{12}=-\begin{vmatrix}1&3\\2 & 1 \end{vmatrix}=-(1-6)=5$

$\text{A}_{13}=+\begin{vmatrix}1&-2\\2 & -1 \end{vmatrix}=-1+4=3$

$\text{A}_{21}=-\begin{vmatrix}1&1\\-1 & 1 \end{vmatrix}=-(1+1)=-2$

$\text{A}_{22}=+\begin{vmatrix}1&1\\2 &1 \end{vmatrix}=1-2=-1$

$\text{A}_{23}=-\begin{vmatrix}1&1\\2 & -1 \end{vmatrix}=-(-1-2)=3$

$\text{A}_{31}=+\begin{vmatrix}1&1\\-2 &3 \end{vmatrix}=3+2=5$

$\text{A}_{32}=-\begin{vmatrix}1&1\\1 & 3 \end{vmatrix}=-(3-1)=-2$

$\text{A}_{33}=+\begin{vmatrix}1&1\\1 & -2 \end{vmatrix}=-2-1=-3$

$Adj. A = \begin{bmatrix} 1 & -2 & 5 \\ 5 & -1 & -2 \\ 3 & 3 & -3 \end{bmatrix} $

$\therefore A^-1 = \frac{1}{9} \begin{bmatrix} 1 & -2 & 5 \\ 5 & -1 & -2 \\ 3 & 3 & -3 \end{bmatrix} $

$\therefore \begin{bmatrix} x \\ y \\z \end{bmatrix} =\frac{1}{9} \begin{bmatrix} 1 &-2 & 5 \\ 5& -1 & -2 \\ 3 & 3 & -3 \end{bmatrix} \begin{bmatrix} 3 \\ 2 \\2 \end{bmatrix} = \frac{1}{9} \begin{bmatrix} 9 \\ 9 \\9 \end{bmatrix}$

$\begin{bmatrix} 1 \\ 1 \\1 \end{bmatrix} \Rightarrow x = y = z = 1$

Question 444 Marks
if $\text{A}=\begin{bmatrix}2 & -3&5 \\3 & 2&-4\\1&1&-2 \end{bmatrix},$ find A-1. Use it to solve the system of equations
2x - 3y + 5z = 11
3x + 2y – 4z = -5
x + y - 2z = -3.
Answer
$|\text{A}|=\begin{bmatrix}2 & -3&5 \\3 & 2&-4\\1&1&-2 \end{bmatrix}=2(-4+4)+3(-6+4)+5(3-2)$
$\therefore|\text{A}|=0-6+5=-1\neq0$
$\text{Now A}_{11}=0;\text{A}_{12}=2;\text{A}_{13}=1$
$\text{A}_{21}=-1;\text{A}_{22}=-9;\text{A}_{23}=-5$
$\text{A}_{31}=2;\text{A}_{32}=23;\text{A}_{33}=13$
$\text{A}_\text{ij}=\begin{bmatrix}0 & 2&1 \\-1 & -9&-5\\2&23&13 \end{bmatrix}$
$\therefore\ \text{Adj A = [A}_\text{ij}]^\text{T}=\begin{bmatrix}0 & 2&1 \\-1 & -9&-5\\2&23&13 \end{bmatrix}^\text{T}=\begin{bmatrix}0 & -1&2 \\2 & -9&23\\1&-5&13 \end{bmatrix}$
$ \text{A}^{-1}=\frac{\text{AdjA}}{|\text{A}|}=-\frac{1}{1}\begin{bmatrix}0 &-1&2 \\2 & -9&23\\1&-5&13 \end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}0 &1&-2 \\-2 &9&-23\\-1&5&-13 \end{bmatrix}$
$\text{Now}\begin{bmatrix}2 &-3&5 \\3 & 2&-4\\1&1&-2 \end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix}\text{x}\\\text{y}\\\text{z} \end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}11\\-5\\-3 \end{bmatrix}$
$\Rightarrow\text{AX = B}$
$\Rightarrow\text{X = A}^{-1}\text{ B}=\begin{bmatrix}0 &1&-2 \\-2 &9&-23\\-1&5&-13 \end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix}11\\-5\\-3 \end{bmatrix}$
$\Rightarrow\begin{bmatrix}\text{x}\\\text{y}\\\text{z} \end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix}0-5+6\\-22-45+69\\-11-25+39 \end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}1\\2\\3 \end{bmatrix}$

Question 454 Marks
Answer
Let A be the 2 × 3 matrix representing the annual sales of products in two markets.

$\begin{matrix}\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \text{X}&\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \text{Y}&\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \text{Z}\end{matrix}\\\therefore\ \ \text{A}=\begin{bmatrix}10000&2000&18000\\6000&20000&8000\end{bmatrix}\begin{matrix}\text{Market I}\\\text{Market II}\end{matrix}$

Let B be the column matrix representing the sale price of each unit of products x, y, z.

$\therefore\ \text{B}=\begin{bmatrix}2.5\\1.5\\1\end{bmatrix}$

Now, revenue = sale price × number of items sold

$=\begin{bmatrix}10000&2000&18000\\6000&20000&8000\end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix}2.5\\1.5\\1\end{bmatrix}$

 $=\begin{bmatrix}25000+3000+18000\\15000+30000+8000\end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}46000\\53000\end{bmatrix}$ 

Therefore, the revenue collected from Market I = ₹ 46000 and the revenue collected from Market II = ₹ 53000.

  1. (c) ₹ 46000
  2. (b) ₹ 53000
  3. (d) ₹ 32000

Solution:

Let C be the column matrix representing cost price of each unit of products x, y, z.

 Then, $\text{C}=\begin{bmatrix}2\\1\\0.5\end{bmatrix}$

$\therefore$ Total cost in each market is given by

$\text{AC}=\begin{bmatrix}10000&2000&18000\\6000&20000&8000\end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix}2\\1\\0.5\end{bmatrix}$

$=\begin{bmatrix}20000+2000+9000\\12000+20000+4000\end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}31000\\36000\end{bmatrix}$

Now, Profit matrix = Revenue matrix - Cost matrix

$=\begin{bmatrix}46000\\53000\end{bmatrix}-\begin{bmatrix}31000\\36000\end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}15000\\17000\end{bmatrix}$

Therefore, the gross profit from both the markets = ₹ 15000 + ₹ 17000 = ₹ 32000

  1. (a) I

Solution:

We have, $\text{A}=\begin{bmatrix}0&1\\1&0\end{bmatrix}$

$\therefore\ \ \text{A}^2=\begin{bmatrix}0&1\\1&0\end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix}0&1\\1&0\end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}1&0\\0&1\end{bmatrix}=\text{I}$

  1. (a) Skew-synunetric matrix.

Solution:

We have, (AB' - BA')' = (B')' A' - (A')' B' = BA' - AB'= -(AB' - BA')

Thus, AB' - BA' is a skew-symmetric matrix.

Question 464 Marks
If $\text{A}=\begin{bmatrix}1&0\\-1&7\end{bmatrix},$ find k such that A2 - 8A + kI = 0.
Answer
Given: $\text{A}=\begin{bmatrix}1&0\\-1&7\end{bmatrix}$
Now,
$\text{A}^2=\text{AA}$
$\Rightarrow\text{A}^2=\begin{bmatrix}1&0\\-1&7\end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix}1&0\\-1&7\end{bmatrix}$
$ \Rightarrow\text{A}^2=\begin{bmatrix}1-0&0+0\\-1-7&0+49\end{bmatrix}$
$\Rightarrow\text{A}^2=\begin{bmatrix}1&0\\-8&49\end{bmatrix}$
$ \text{A}^2-8\text{A}+\text{kI}=0$
$ \Rightarrow\begin{bmatrix}1&0\\-8&49\end{bmatrix}-8\begin{bmatrix}1&0\\-1&7\end{bmatrix}+\text{k}\begin{bmatrix}1&0\\0&1\end{bmatrix}=0$
$ \Rightarrow\begin{bmatrix}1&0\\-8&49\end{bmatrix}-\begin{bmatrix}8&0\\-8&56\end{bmatrix}+\begin{bmatrix}\text{k}&0\\0&\text{k}\end{bmatrix}=0$
$\Rightarrow\begin{bmatrix}1-8+\text{k}&0-0+0\\-8+8+0&49-56+\text{k}\end{bmatrix}=0$
$\Rightarrow\begin{bmatrix}-7+\text{k}&0\\0&-7+\text{k}\end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}0&0\\0&0\end{bmatrix}$
The corresponding elements of two equal matrices are equal.
$\therefore-7+\text{k}=0$
$\Rightarrow\text{k}=7$

Given: $\text{P}=\begin{bmatrix}\text{x}&0&0\\0&\text{y}&0\\0&0&\text{z}\end{bmatrix}$ and $\text{Q}=\begin{bmatrix}\text{a}&0&0\\0&\text{b}&0\\0&0&\text{c}\end{bmatrix}$
Now,
$\text{P}\text{Q}=\begin{bmatrix}\text{x}&0&0\\0&\text{y}&0\\0&0&\text{z}\end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix}\text{a}&0&0\\0&\text{b}&0\\0&0&\text{c}\end{bmatrix}$
$ =\begin{bmatrix}\text{xa}+0+0&0+0+0&0+0+0\\0+0+0&0+\text{y}\text{b}+0&0+0+0\\0+0+0&0+0+0&0+0+\text{zc}\end{bmatrix}$
$ =\begin{bmatrix}\text{xa}&0&0\\0&\text{y}\text{b}&0\\0&0&\text{zc}\end{bmatrix}\ \dots(4)$
Also,
$\text{Q}\text{P}=\begin{bmatrix}\text{a}&0&0\\0&\text{a}&0\\0&0&\text{a}\end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix}\text{x}&0&0\\0&\text{y}&0\\0&0&\text{z}\end{bmatrix}$
$=\begin{bmatrix}\text{ax}+0+0&0+0+0&0+0+0\\0+0+0&0+\text{by}+0&0+0+0\\0+0+0&0+0+0&0+0+\text{cz}\end{bmatrix}$
$=\begin{bmatrix}\text{xa}&0&0\\0&\text{y}\text{b}&0\\0&0&\text{zc}\end{bmatrix}\ \dots(5)$
From (4) and (5), we get
$\text{PQ}=\begin{bmatrix}\text{xa}&0&0\\0&\text{y}\text{b}&0\\0&0&\text{zc}\end{bmatrix}=\text{QP}$

Answer
Given: $\text{A}=\begin{bmatrix}3&-2\\4&-2\end{bmatrix}$
Now,
$\text{A}^2=\text{AA}$
$\Rightarrow\text{A}^2=\begin{bmatrix}3&-2\\4&-2\end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix}3&-2\\4&-2\end{bmatrix}$
$\Rightarrow\text{A}^2=\begin{bmatrix}9-8&-6+4\\12-8&-8+4\end{bmatrix}$
$\Rightarrow\text{A}^2=\begin{bmatrix}1&-2\\4&-4\end{bmatrix}$
$\text{A}^2-\text{A}+2\text{I}=\begin{bmatrix}1&-2\\4&-4\end{bmatrix}-\begin{bmatrix}3&-2\\4&-2\end{bmatrix}+2\begin{bmatrix}1&0\\0&1\end{bmatrix}$
$\Rightarrow\text{A}^2-\text{A}+2\text{I}=\begin{bmatrix}1-3&-2+2\\4-4&-4+2\end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix}2&0\\0&2\end{bmatrix}$
$\Rightarrow\text{A}^2-\text{A}+2\text{I}=\begin{bmatrix}-2&0\\0&-2\end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix}2&0\\0&2\end{bmatrix}$
$\Rightarrow\text{A}^2-\text{A}+2\text{I}=\begin{bmatrix}-2+2&0+0\\0+0&-2+2\end{bmatrix}$
$\Rightarrow\text{A}^2-\text{A}+2\text{I}=\begin{bmatrix}0&0\\0&0\end{bmatrix}$

Question 494 Marks
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.
