Solution
60 – t = `("t"^2)/4 - 3`
⇒ t2 – 12 = 240 – 4t
⇒ t2 + 4t – 252 = 0
⇒ t2 + 18t – 14t – 252 = 0
⇒ t(t + 18) – 14(t + 18) = 0
⇒ (t + 18) (t – 14) = 0
∴ t = 14 or t = – 18 is not possible.

Two farmers Thilagan and Kausigan cultivates three varieties of grains namely rice, wheat and ragi. If the sale (in ₹) of three varieties of grains by both the farmers in the month of April is given by the matrix.
`{:("April sale in" ₹)/("rice" "wheat" "ragi"):}`
A = `[(500, 1000, 1500),(2500, 1500, 500)]"Thilagan"/"Kausigan"`
and the May month sale (in ₹) is exactly twice as that of the April month sale for each variety.
What is the average sales for the months of April and May
