Case Study Question:
1. Three schools DPS, CPC and SVS decided to organize a fair for collecting money for helping the flood
victims. They sold handmade fans, mats and plates from recycled material at a cost of Rs.25, Rs.100 and
Rs.50 each respectively. The numbers of articles sold are given as
School / Article DPS CPS SVS
Handmade fans 40 25 35
Mats 50 40 50
Plates 20 30 40
Based on the above information, solve the following using matrix algebra
i. What is the total money (in Rs) collected by the school DPS?
ii. What is the total amount of money (in Rs) collected by the school CPS and SVS?
iii. Find the funds collected by each school separately by selling the above articles
iv. Find the total funds collected for the purpose
v. If the number of handmade fans and plates are interchanged for all the schools, then what is the
total money collected by all schools?
ANS : (i) Rs.7000 (ii) Rs.14000 (iii) Rs.7000, Rs.6125, Rs.7875 (iv) Rs.21000 (v) Rs.21250
2. A manufacture produces three stationery products Pencil, Eraser and Sharpener which he sells in two
markets. Annual sales are indicated below
Market Product(in numbers)
Pencil Eraser Sharpener
A 10,000 2,000 18,000
B 6,000 20,000 8,000
If the unit Sale price of Pencil, Eraser and Sharpener are Rs. 2.50, Rs. 1.50 and Rs. 1.00 respectively,
and unit cost of the above three commodities are Rs. 2.00, Rs. 1.00 and Rs. 0.50 respectively, then,
Based on the above information answer the following using matrix algebra
i. Find the Total revenue of market A
ii. Find the profit in market A and in market B
iii. Find the Total Profit in market A and B.
3. Two dealers P and Q sell three items, viz., notebooks, pencils and erasers. In the month of April, the
dealer P sells 250 notebooks, 400 pencils and 300 erasers, whereas the dealer Q sells 350 notebooks, 500
pencils and 470 erasers. In the month of May, the dealer P sells 380 notebooks, 440 pencils and 360
erasers, whereas the dealer Q sells 450 notebooks, 520 pencils and 420 erasers.

4. There are two families F, and F2. There are 6 men, 5 women and 2 children in family F₁ and 3 men, 3
women and 4 children in family F. The recommended daily requirement for proteins is-Man: 70 g.
Woman: 50 g. Child: 30 g and for carbohydrates is-Man: 500 g, Woman: 400 g, Child: 300 g. Using
matrix multiplication, calculate the total requirement of proteins and carbohydrates for each of the two

families. ANS :
5. A trust caring for handicapped children gets 30000 every month from its donors. The trust spends half of
the funds received for medical and educational care of the children and for that it charges 2% of the
spent amount from them, and deposits the balance amount in a private bank to get the money multiplied
so that in future the trust goes on functioning regularly. What percent of interest should the trust get from
the bank to get a total of 1800 every month? Use matrix method, to find the rate of interest.
ANS : 10%
6. There are 3 families A, B and C. The number of men, women and children in these families are as under:
Men Women Children
Family A 2 3 1
Family B 2 1 3
Family C 4 2 6
Daily expenses of men, women and children are Rs.200, Rs.150 and Rs.200 respectively. Only men and
women earn and children do not. Using matrix multiplication, calculate the daily expenses of each
family. ANS : Family A: Rs.1050 , Family B: Rs.1150, Family C: Rs.2300
