Question
Two schools Oxford and Navdeep want to award their selected students on the values of sincerity, truthfulness and helpfulness. Oxford wants to award ₹ x each, ₹ y each and ₹ z each for the three respective values to 3, 2 and 1 students respectively with a total award money of ₹ 1600. Navdeep wants to spend ₹ 2300 to award its 4, 1 and 3 students on the respective values (by giving the same amount to the three values as before). The total amount of the award for one prize on each is ₹ 900.
Question Two schools Oxford and Navdeep want to award their selected students on the values of sincerity, truthfulness and helpfulness. Oxford wants to award ₹ x each, ₹ y each and ₹ z each for the three respective values to 3, 2 and 1 students respectively with a total award money of ₹ 1600. Navdeep wants to spend ₹ 2300 to award its 4, 1 and 3 students on the respective values (by giving the same amount to the three values as before). The total amount of the award for one prize on each is ₹ 900.
Given that
Value of award for sincerity = Rs x
Value of award for truthfulness = Rs y
Value of award for helpfulness = Rs z
Given that
Total amount of the award for one prize on each is ₹ 900
x + y + z = 900
Also,
Oxford wants to award ₹ x each, ₹ y each and ₹ z each for the three respective values to 3, 2 and 1 students respectively with a total award money of ₹ 1600
3x + 2y + z = 1600
And,
Navdeep wants to spend ₹ 2300 to award its 4, 1 and 3 students on the respective values.
4x + y + 3z = 2300
Question 1 (i) x + y + z = _______. (a) 800 (b) 900 (c) 1000 (d) 1200
From (1)
x + y + z = 900
So, the correct answer is (B)
Question 2 (ii) 4x + y + 3z = _______. (a) 1600 (b) 2300 (c) 900 (d) 1200
From (3)
4x + y + 3z = 2300
So, the correct answer is (B)
Question 3 The value of y is _______. (a) 200 (b) 250 (c) 300 (d) 350
Now, our equations are
x + y + z = 900
3x + 2y + z = 1600
4x + y + 3z = 2300
Writing equation as AX = B
[■8(1&1&1@3&2&1@4&1&3)] [■8(𝑥@𝑦@𝑧)] = [■8(900@1600@2300)]
Hence A = [■8(1&1&1@3&2&1@4&1&3)], X = [■8(𝑥@𝑦@𝑧)] & B = [■8(900@1600@2300)]
Calculating |A|
|A| = |■8(1&1&1@3&2&1@4&1&3)|
= 1 |■8(2&1@1&3)| – 1 |■8(3&1@4&3)| + 1 |■8(3&2@4&1)|
= 1(6 − 1) − 1 (9 − 4) + 1 (3 − 8) = 1 (5) − 1 (5) + 1 (–5)
= 5 − 5 − 5
= −5
Thus, |A| ≠ 0
∴ The system of equation is consistent & has a unique solution
Now,
AX = B
X = A-1 B
Calculating A-1
A-1 = 1/(|A|) adj (A)
adj (A) = [■8(A_11&A_12&A_13@A_21&A_22&A_23@A_31&A_32&A_33 )]^′ = [■8(A_11&A_21&A_31@A_12&A_22&A_23@A_13&A_32&A_33 )]
And, A = [■8(1&1&1@3&2&1@4&1&3)]
M11 = [■8(2&1@1&3)] = 6 − 1 = 5
M12 = [■8(3&1@4&3)] = 9 − 4 = 5
M13 = [■8(3&2@4&1)] = 3 − 8 = −5
M21 = [■8(1&1@1&3)] = 3 − 1 = 2
M22 = [■8(1&1@4&3)] = 3 − 4 = −1
M23 = [■8(1&1@4&1)] = 1 − 4 = −3
M31 = [■8(1&1@2&1)] = 1 − 2 = −1
M32 = [■8(1&1@3&1)] = 1 − 3 = −2
M33 = [■8(1&1@3&2)] = 2 − 3 = −1
Now,
A11 = (–1)1+1 . M11 = (–1)2 . (5) = 5
A12 = (–1)1+2 . M12 = (–1)3 . (5) = −5
A13 = (–1)1+3 . M13 = (–1)4 . (−5) = −5
A21 = (–1)2+1 . M21 = (–1)3 . (2) = −2
A22 = (–1)2+2 . M22 = (–1)4 . (−1) = −1
A23 = (–1)2+3 . M23 = (–1)5 . (−3) = 3
A31 = (–1)3+1 . M31 = (–1)4 . (−1) = −1
A32 = (–1)3+2 . M32 = (–1)5 . (−2) = 2
A33 = (–1)3+3 . M33 = (–1)6 . (−1) = −1
Thus,
adj (A) =[■8(5&−2&−1@−5&−1&2@−5&3&−1)]
Now,
A-1 = 1/(|A|) adj A
Putting values
= 1/(−5) [■8(5&−2&−1@−5&−1&2@−5&3&−1)] = 1/5 [■8(−5&2&1@5&1&−2@5&−3&1)]
Also,
X = A-1 B
Putting values
[█(■8(𝑥@𝑦)@𝑧)] = 1/5 [■8(−5&2&1@5&1&−2@5&−3&1)][■8(900@1600@2300)]
[█(■8(𝑥@𝑦)@𝑧)] = 1/5 [■8(−5(900)+2(1600)+1(2300)@5(900)+1(1600)+(−2)(2300)@5(900)+(−3)(1600)+1(2300) )]
[█(■8(𝑥@𝑦)@𝑧)] = 1/5 [■8(−4500+3200+2300@4500+1600−4600@4500−4800+2300)] = 1/5 [█(■8(1000@1500)@2000)]
[█(■8(𝑥@𝑦)@𝑧)] = [█(■8(200@300)@400)]
Hence, x = 200, y = 300 & z = 400
Since y = 300
So, the correct answer is (C)
Question 4 The value of 2x + 3y is _______. (a) 1000 (b) 1100 (c) 1200 (d) 1300
Since,
x = 200, y = 300 & z = 400
Thus,
2x + 3y = 2(200) + 3(300)
= 400 + 900
= 1300
So, the correct answer is (d)
Question 5 y – x = _______. (a) 100 (b) 200 (c) 300 (d) 400
Since,
x = 200, y = 300 & z = 400
Thus,
y − x = 300 − 200
= 100
So, the correct answer is (A)
