Maharashtra State Board 12th Maths Solutions Chapter 2 Matrices Ex 2.3
Question 1.
 Solve the following equations by inversion method.
 (i) x + 2y = 2, 2x + 3y = 3
 Solution:
 The given equations can be written in the matrix form as :
 \(\left[\begin{array}{ll}
 1 & 2 \\
 2 & 3
 \end{array}\right]\left[\begin{array}{l}
 x \\
 y
 \end{array}\right]\) = \(\left[\begin{array}{l}
 2 \\
 3
 \end{array}\right]\)
 This is of the form AX = B, where
 
 ∴ A-1 = \(\left[\begin{array}{rr}
 -3 & 2 \\
 2 & -1
 \end{array}\right]\)
 Now, premultiply AX = B by A-1, we get,
 A-1(AX) = A-1B
 ∴ (A-1A)X = A-1B
 ∴ IX = A-1B
 ∴ X = \(=\left[\begin{array}{rr}
 -3 & 2 \\
 2 & -1
 \end{array}\right]\left[\begin{array}{l}
 2 \\
 3
 \end{array}\right]\)
 ∴ \(\left[\begin{array}{l}
 x \\
 y
 \end{array}\right]\) = \(=\left[\begin{array}{r}
 -6+6 \\
 4-3
 \end{array}\right]\) = \(=\left[\begin{array}{l}
 0 \\
 1
 \end{array}\right]\)
 By equality of matrices,
 x = 0, y = 1 is the required solution.

(ii) x + y = 4, 2x – y = 5
 Solution:
 x + y = 4, 2x – y = 5
 The given equations can be written in the matrix form as:
 \(\left[\begin{array}{cc}
 1 & 1 \\
 2 & -1
 \end{array}\right]\left[\begin{array}{l}
 x \\
 y
 \end{array}\right]\) = \(\left[\begin{array}{l}
 4 \\
 5
 \end{array}\right]\)
 This is of the form AX = B ⇒ X ⇒ A-1B
 A = \(\left[\begin{array}{cc}
 1 & 1 \\
 2 & -1
 \end{array}\right]\)
 |A| = -1 – 2 = -3 ≠ 0
 
 By equality of matrices.
 x = 3, y = 1
(iii) 2x + 6y = 8, x + 3y = 5
 Solution:
 The given equations can be written in the matrix form as :
 \(\left[\begin{array}{ll}
 2 & 6 \\
 1 & 3
 \end{array}\right]\left[\begin{array}{l}
 x \\
 y
 \end{array}\right]=\left[\begin{array}{l}
 8 \\
 5
 \end{array}\right]\)
 This is of the form AX = B, where
 A = \(\left[\begin{array}{ll}
 2 & 6 \\
 1 & 3
 \end{array}\right]\), X = \(\left[\begin{array}{l}
 x \\
 y
 \end{array}\right]\) and B = \(\left[\begin{array}{l}
 8 \\
 5
 \end{array}\right]\)
 Let us find A-1.
 |A| = \(\left|\begin{array}{ll}
 2 & 6 \\
 1 & 3
 \end{array}\right|\) = 6 – 6 = 0
 ∴ A-1 does not exist.
 Hence, x and y do not exist.

Question 2.
 Solve the following equations by reduction method.
 (i) 2x + y = 5, 3x + 5y = -3
 Solution:
 The given equations can be written in the matrix form as :
 
 By equality of matrices,
 2x + y = 5 …(1)
 7y = -21 …(2)
 From (2), y = -3
 Substituting y = -3 in (1), we get,
 2x – 3 = 5
 ∴ 2x = 8 ∴ x = 4
 Hence, x = 4, y = -3 is the required solution.
(ii) x + 3y = 2, 3x + 5y = 4.
 Solution:
 The given equations can be written in the matrix form as :
 \(\left[\begin{array}{ll}
 1 & 3 \\
 3 & 5
 \end{array}\right]\left[\begin{array}{l}
 x \\
 y
 \end{array}\right]\) = \(\left[\begin{array}{l}
 2 \\
 4
 \end{array}\right]\)
 By R2 – 3R1, we get
 \(\left[\begin{array}{rr}
 1 & 3 \\
 0 & -4
 \end{array}\right]\left[\begin{array}{l}
 x \\
 y
 \end{array}\right]\) = \(\left(\begin{array}{r}
 2 \\
 -2
 \end{array}\right)\)
 ∴ \(\left[\begin{array}{l}
 x+3 \\
 0-4 y
 \end{array}\right]\) = \(\left[\begin{array}{r}
 2 \\
 -2
 \end{array}\right]\)
 By equality of matrices,
 x + 3y = 2 …(1)
 -4y = -2
 From (2), y = \(\frac{1}{2}\)
 Substituting y = \(\frac{1}{2}\) in (1), we get,
 x + \(\frac{3}{2}\) = 2
 ∴ x = 2 – \(\frac{3}{2}=\frac{1}{2}\)
 Hence, x = \(\frac{1}{2}\), y = \(\frac{1}{2}\) is the required solution.

(iii) 3x – y = 1, 4x + y = 6
 Solution:
 The given equations can be written in the matrix form as :
 
 By equality of matrices,
 12x – 4y = 4 … (1)
 7y = 14 … (2)
 From (2), y = 2
 Substituting y = 2 in (1), we get,
 12x – 8 = 4
 ∴ 12x = 12 ∴ x = 1
 Hence, x = 1, y = 2 is the required solution.
(iv) 5x + 2y = 4, 7x + 3y = 5
 Solution:
 5x + 2y = 4 ………..(1)
 7x + 3y = 5 …………(2)
 Multiplying Eq. (1) with 7 and Eq. (2) with 5
 
 Put y = -3 into Eq. (1)
 5x + 2y = 4
 5x + 2(-3) = 4
 5x – 6 = 4
 5x = 4 + 6
 5x = 10
 x = \(\frac{10}{5}\)
 x = 2
 Hence, x = 2, y = -3 is the required solution.

Question 3.
 The cost of 4 pencils, 3 pens and 2 erasers is ₹ 60. The cost of 2 pencils, 4 pens and 6 erasers is ₹ 90, whereas the cost of 6 pencils, 2 pens and 3 erasers is ₹ 70. Find the cost of each item by using matrices.
 Solution:
 Let the cost of 1 pencil, 1 pen and 1 eraser be ₹ x, ₹ y and ₹ z respectively.
 Then, from the given conditions,
 4x + 3y + 2z = 60
 2x + 4y + 6z = 90, i.e., x + 2y + 3z = 45
 6x + 2y + 3z = 70
 These equations can be written in the matrix form as :
 
 By equality of matrices,
 x + 2y + 3z = 45 …….(1)
 – 5y – 10z = – 120 …….(2)
 5z = 40
 From (3), z = 8
 Substituting z = 8 in (2), we get,
 – 5y – 80 = -120
 ∴ – 5y = -40 ∴ y = 8
 Substituting y = 8, z = 8 in (1), we get,
 x + 16 + 24 = 45
 ∴ x + 40 = 45 ∴ x = 5
 ∴ x = 5, y = 8, z = 8
 Hence, the cost is ₹ 5 for a pencil, ₹ 8 for a pen and ₹ 8 for an eraser.

Question 4.
 If three numbers are added, their sum is 2. If 2 times the second number is subtracted from the sum of first and third numbers, we get 8 and if three times the first number is added to the sum of second and third numbers, we get 4. Find the numbers using matrices.
 Solution:
 Let the three numbers be x, y and z. According to the given conditions,
 x + y + z = 2
 x + z – 2y = 8, i.e., x – 2y + 2 = 8
 and y + z + 3x = 4, i.e., 3x + y + z = 4
 Hence, the system of linear equations is
 x + y + z = 2
 x – 2y + z = 8
 3x + y + z = 4
 These equations can be written in the matrix form as :
 
 By equality of matrices,
 x + y + z = 2 ……(1)
 -3y = 6 ……(2)
 – 2y – 2z = -2 ……..(3)
 From (2), y = -2
 Substituting y = -2 in (3), we get,
 -2(-2) – 2z = -2
 ∴ -2z = -6 ∴ z = 3
 Substituting y = -2, z = 3 in (1), we get,
 x – 2 + 3 = 2 ∴ x = 1
 Hence, the required numbers are 1, -2 and 3.

Question 5.
 The total cost of 3 T.V. sets and 2 V.C.R.s is ₹ 35000. The shop-keeper wants profit of ₹ 1000 per television and ₹ 500 per V.C.R. He can sell 2 T. V. sets and 1 V.C.R. and get the total revenue as ₹ 21,500. Find the cost price and the selling price of a T.V. sets and a V.C.R.
 Solution:
 Let the cost of each T.V. set be ₹ x and each V.C.R. be ₹ y. Then the total cost of 3 T.V. sets and 2 V.C.R.’s is ₹ (3x + 2y) which is given to be ₹ 35,000.
 ∴ 3x + 2y = 35000
 The shopkeeper wants profit of ₹ 1000 per T.V. set and of ₹ 500 per V.C.R.
 ∴ the selling price of each T.V. set is ₹ (x + 1000) and of each V.C.R. is ₹ (y + 500).
 ∴ selling price of 2 T.V. set and 1 V.C.R. is
 ₹ [2(x + 1000) + (y + 500)] which is given to be ₹ 21,500.
 ∴ 2(x + 1000) + (y + 500) = 21500
 ∴ 2x + 2000 + y + 500 = 21500
 ∴ 2x + y = 19000
 Hence, the system of linear equations is
 3x + 2y = 35000
 2x + y = 19000
 These equations can be written in the matrix form as :
 
 By equality of matrices,
 2x + y = 19000 ……….(1)
 -x = -3000 ……….(2)
 From (2), x = 3000
 Substituting x = 3000 in (1), we get,
 2(3000) + y = 19000
 ∴ y = 13000
 ∴ the cost price of one T.V. set is ₹ 3000 and of one V.C.R. is ₹ 13000 and the selling price of one T.V. set is ₹ 4000 and of one V.C.R. is ₹ 13500.
