Two factories decided to award their employees for three values of (a) adaptable to new techniques, (b) careful and alert in difficult situations and (c) keeping calm in tense situations, at the rate of ₹x, ₹y and ₹z per persons respectively. The first factory decided to honour respectively 2, 4 and 3 employees with total prize money of ₹29000. The second factory decided to honour respectively 5, 2 and 3 employees with the prize money of ₹30500. If the three prizes per person together cost ₹9500, then

i. represent the above situation by a matrix equation and form linear equations using matrix multiplication.


ii. Solve these equations using matrices.


iii. Which values are reflected in the questions? (CBSE 2013)

Let the numbers are x, y,z be the prize amount per person for adaptability, carefulness and calmness respectively


As per the given data we get,


2x + 4y + 3z = 29000


5x + 2y + 3z = 30500


X + y + z = 9500


These three equations can be written as



A X = B


|A| = 2(2 – 3) – 4(5 – 3) + 3(5 – 2)


= 2(– 1) – 4(2) + 3(3)


= – 2 – 8 + 9


= – 1


Hence, the unique solution given by x = A – 1B


C11 = (– 1)1 + 1 (2 – 3) = – 1


C12 = (– 1)1 + 2 (5 – 3) = – 2


C13 = (– 1)1 + 3 (5 – 2) = 3


C21 = (– 1)2 + 1 (4 – 3) = – 1


C22 = (– 1)2 + 2 (2 – 3) = – 1


C23 = (– 1)2 + 3 (2 – 4 ) = – 2


C31 = (– 1)3 + 1 (12 – 6) = 6


C32 = (– 1)3 + 2 (6 – 15) = – 9


C33 = (– 1)3 + 3 (4 – 20) = – 16


Adj A =


X = A – 1 B =


X =


X =


X =


=


Hence, x = 2500, y = 3000 and z = 4000

A school wants to award its student for the values of Honesty, Regularity and Hard work with a total cash award of ₹6000. Three times the award money for Hard work added to that given for honesty amounts to ₹11000. The award money given for Honesty and Hard work together is double the one given for Regularity. Represent the above situation algebraically and find the award for each value, using the matrix method. Apart from these values, namely, Honesty, Regularity and Hard work, and suggest one more value which the school must include for awards.(CBSE 2013)

Two institutions decided to award their employees for the three values resourcefulness, competence and determination in the from of prizes at the rate of₹x, ₹y and ₹z respectively per person. The first institutions decided to award respectively 4,3 and 2 employees with total prize money of ₹37000 and the second institution decided to award respectively 5,3 and 4 employees with total prize money of ₹47000. If all the three prizes per person together amount to ₹12000, then using matrix method find the value of x,y and z. What values are described in this equations?(CBSE 2013)

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 respectively 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 three values as before.) If the total amount of awards for one prize on each value is ₹600, using matrices, find the award money for each value, Apart on 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.(CBSE 2014)

A total amount of ₹7000 is deposited in three different saving bank accounts with annual interest rates of 5%, 8% and respectively. The total annual interest from these three accounts is ₹550. Equal amounts have been deposited in the 5% and 8% savings accounts. Find the amount deposited in each of the three accounts, with the help of matrices.(CBSE 2014)
