Long Answer Type Questions (Part 4)

The document contains 10 long answer questions regarding systems of linear equations and matrices. Question 7 asks the reader to use a matrix method to find the cost of 3 varieties of pens (A, B, C) given purchase information from 3 individuals that includes the number of pens bought of each variety and the total cost. Question 10 asks the reader to formulate a mixture of 3 foods (A, B, C) that will have specified amounts of 3 nutrients (P, Q, R) using a system of linear equations in matrix form. The answer expresses the system as a matrix equation AX=B and calculates the cofactors of the matrix A to find the unique solution.

Q.1.
Ans.
Q.2. If , find adj A and verify that A(adj A) =
(adj A)A =|A|I3.
Ans.
Q.3. Use product to solve the system of equations:
x – y + 2z = 1, 2y – 3z = 1, 3x – 2y + 4z = 2
Ans.
Q.4. Use product to solve the system of equations

x + 3z = 9, –x + 2y –2z = 4, 2x – 3y + 4z = –3.

Ans.
Q.5. Using matrices, solve the following system of equations:

4x + 3y + 3z = 60; x + 2y + 3z = 45; 6x + 2y + 3z = 70

Ans.
Q.6. Determine the product and use it to solve the
system of equations

x – y + z = 4, x – 2y – 2z = 9, 2x + y + 3z = 1.

Ans.
Q.7. A shopkeeper has 3 varieties of pens ‘A’, ‘B’ and ‘C’. Meenu purchased 1 pen
of each variety for a total of ₹ 21. Jeevan purchased 4 pens of ‘A’ variety, 3 pens
of ‘B’ variety and 2 pens of ‘C’ variety for ₹ 60. While Shikha purchased 6 pens of
‘A’ variety, 2 pens of ‘B’ variety and 3 pens of ‘C’ variety for ₹ 70. Using matrix
method, find cost of each variety of pen.

Ans.
Q.8. If are two square matrices,
find AB and hence solve the following system of linear equations:

x – y = 3, 2x + 3y + 4z = 17 and y + 2z = 7

Ans.
Q.9. Using matrices, solve the following system of equations:
3x – 2y + 3z = –1; 2x + y – z = 6; 4x – 3y + 2z = 5

Ans.
Q.10. A mixture is to be made of three foods A, B, C. The three foods A, B,
C contain nutrients P, Q, R as shown below:

[HOTS]

Food Grams per kg of nutrient


P Q R
A 1 2 5
B 3 1 1
C 4 2 1

How to form a mixture which will have 8 grams of P, 5 grams of Q and 7 grams
of R?

Ans.

Let food needed be x kg of A, y kg of B and z kg of C. Therefore x kg of A contains 1


gram of nutrient P. So, x kg of A will contain x grams of nutrient P. Similarly, the amount
of nutrient P in y kg of food B and z kg of food C are 3y and 4z grams respectively. So,
total quantity of nutrient P in x kg of food A, y kg of food B and z kg of food C is x + 3y +
4z grams.
x + 3y + 4z = 8

Similarly, 2x + y + 2z = 5 [For Q]

and 5x + y + z = 7 [For R]

The above system of simultaneous linear equations can be written in matrix form
as AX = B.

So, A–1 exists and system have unique solution.

Let Cij be the cofactor of aij in A = [aij]. Then,

C11 = –1 ; C12 = 8; C13 = –3

C21 = 1 ; C22 = –19; C23 = 14

C31 = 2 ; C32 = 6; C33 = –5
