Question 4.
Examine the consistency of the system of equations;
x + y + z = 7, x + 2y + 3z = 18, y + 2z = 6
Solution:
x + y + z = 7
x + 2y + 3z = 18
y + 2z = 6
The matrix form of the equations
Samacheer Kalvi 12th Business Maths Guide Chapter 1 Applications of Matrices and Determinants Miscellaneous Problems 5
Here p(A) ≠ p(A, B)
∴ The given system is inconsistent and has no solution.

Question 5.
Find k if the equations 2x + 3y – z = 5, 3x – y + 4z = 2, x + 7y – 6z = k are consistent.
Solution:
2x + 3y – z = 5
3x – y + 4z = 2
x + 7y – 6z = k
The matrix form of these equations

Obviously, the last equivalent matrix is in the ech-elon form.
Since the equations are consistent
P(-A) = p(A, B)
p(A) = 2 and p (A, B) = 2 then
k = 8

x + y + z = 1
3x – y – z = 4
x + 5y + 5z = k
The matrix equation corresponding to the given system is
Samacheer Kalvi 12th Business Maths Guide Chapter 1 Applications of Matrices and Determinants Miscellaneous Problems 7
Obviously, the last equivalent matrix is in the ech-elon form.
Since the equations are inconsistent
p(A) ≠ p (A, B)
Here p(A) = 2 but p(A, B) should not equal to 2
∴ k ≠ 0
The equations are inconsistent when k assume any real value other than 0.

Question 7.
Solve the equations x + 2y + z = 7, 2x – y + 2z = 4, x + y – 2z = -1 by using Cramer’s rule.
Solution:
x + 2y + z = 7
2x – y + 2z = 4
x + y – 2z = -1
Here Δ = \(\left|\begin{array}{ccc}
1 & 2 & 1 \\
2 & -1 & 2 \\
1 & 1 & -2
\end{array}\right|\)
= 1(2 – 2)-2 (-4 – 2) + 1(2 + 1)
= 1(0) -2 (-6) + 1(3)
= 12 + 3 = 15 ≠ 0
∴ We can apply Cramer’s Rule and the system is consistent and it has unique solution.
Δx = \(\left|\begin{array}{ccc}
7 & 2 & 1 \\
4 & -1 & 2 \\
-1 & 1 & -2
\end{array}\right|\)
= 7 (2 – 2) -2 (-8 + 2) + 1(4 – 1)
= 7(0)-2 (-6) + 1(3)
= 12 + 3
= 15
Δy = \(\left|\begin{array}{ccc}
1 & 7 & 1 \\
2 & 4 & 2 \\
1 & -1 & -2
\end{array}\right|\)
= 1(-8 + 2) -7 (-4 – 2) + 1(-2 – 4)
= 1 (-6) – 7 (-6) + 1 (-6)
= -6 + 42 – 6 = 30
Δz = \(\left|\begin{array}{ccc}
1 & 2 & 7 \\
2 & -1 & 4 \\
1 & 1 & -1
\end{array}\right|\)
= 1(1 – 4) -2 (-2 – 4) + 7 (2 + 1)
= 1 (-3) -2 (-6) + 7 (3)
= -3 + 12 + 21 = 30
∴ By cramer’s rule

Question 8.
The cost of 2kg. of wheat and 1kg. of sugar is Rs 100. The cost of 3kg. of wheat, 2kg. of sugar and 1kg of rice is Rs 220. Find the cost of each per kg. using Cramer’s rule.
Solution:
Let cost of 1 kg of wheat be x; cost of 1kg of sugar be y and cost of 1 kg of rice be z.
2x + y = 100
x + z = 80
3x + 2y + z = 220
Here Δ = \(\left|\begin{array}{ccc}
2 & 1 & 0 \\
1 & 0 & 1 \\
3 & 2 & 1
\end{array}\right|\)
= 2 (0 – 2) -1 (1 – 3)
= – 4 + 2 = -2
≠ 0
∴ We can apply Cramer’s Rule and the system is consistent and it has unique solution.
Δx = \(\left|\begin{array}{ccc}
100 & 1 & 0 \\
80 & 0 & 1 \\
220 & 2 & 1
\end{array}\right|\)
= 100 (0 – 2) -1 (80 – 220)
= – 200 -1 (-140)
= – 200 +140
= -60
Δy = \(\left|\begin{array}{ccc}
2 & 100 & 0 \\
1 & 80 & 0 \\
3 & 220 & 1
\end{array}\right|\)
= 2 (80 – 220) -100 (1 – 3)
= 2 (-140) – 100 (-2)
= – 280 + 200
= -80
Δx = \(\left|\begin{array}{ccc}
2 & 1 & 100 \\
1 & 0 & 80 \\
3 & 2 & 220
\end{array}\right|\)
= 2 (0 -160) -1 (220 – 240) + 100 (2 – 0)
= 2 (-160) -1 (-20) + 100 (2)
= -320 + 20 + 200
= -100
∴ By cramer’s rule
Samacheer Kalvi 12th Business Maths Guide Chapter 1 Applications of Matrices and Determinants Miscellaneous Problems 9
The solution is (x, y, z) = (30, 40, 50)
∴ The cost of 1 kg of wheat is Rs 30; the cost of 1 kg of sugar is Rs 40 and the cost of 1 kg of rice is Rs 50.

Question 9.
A salesman has the following record of sales during three items A, B, and C, which has different rates of commission.
Samacheer Kalvi 12th Business Maths Guide Chapter 1 Applications of Matrices and Determinants Miscellaneous Problems 10
Find out the rate of commission on items A, B, and C by using Cramer’s rule.
Solution:
Let x, y, and z be the commission on items A, B, and C respectively.
90x + 100y + 20z = 800 ⇒ 9x + 10y + 2z = 80 ……… (1)
130x + 50y + 40z = 900 ⇒ 13x + 5y + 4z = 90 ………. (2)
60x + 100y + 30z = 850 ⇒ 6x + 10y + 3z = 85 ………. (3)
Here Δ = \(\left|\begin{array}{ccc}
9 & 10 & 2 \\
13 & 5 & 4 \\
6 & 10 & 3
\end{array}\right|\)
= 9 (15 – 40) -10 (39 – 24) + 2 (130 – 30)
= 9 (-25) – 10 (15) + 2 (100)
= -225 – 150 + 200
= -175
≠ 0
∴ We can apply Cramer’s Rule and the system is consistent and it has unique solution.
Δx = \(\left|\begin{array}{ccc}
80 & 10 & 2 \\
90 & 5 & 4 \\
85 & 10 & 3
\end{array}\right|\)
= 80 (15 – 40) -10 (270 – 340) + 2 (900 – 425)
= 80 (-25) -10 (-70) + 2 (475)
= -2000 + 700 + 950
= -350
Δy = \(\left|\begin{array}{ccc}
9 & 80 & 2 \\
13 & 90 & 4 \\
6 & 85 & 3
\end{array}\right|\)
= 9 (270 – 340) – 80 (39 – 24) + 2 (1105 – 540)
= 9 (-70)-80 (15) + 2 (565)
= -630 – 1200 + 1130
= -700
Δz = \(\left|\begin{array}{ccc}
9 & 10 & 80 \\
13 & 5 & 90 \\
6 & 10 & 85
\end{array}\right|\)
= 9 (425 – 900) -10 (1105 – 540) + 80 (130 – 30)
= 9 (-475) -10 (565) + 80 (100)
= – 4275 – 5650 + 8000
= -1925
∴ By cramer’s rule
Samacheer Kalvi 12th Business Maths Guide Chapter 1 Applications of Matrices and Determinants Miscellaneous Problems 11
The solution is (x, y, z) = (2, 4, 11)
∴ The rates of commission for A, B and C are Rs 2, Rs 4 and Rs 11 respectively.
