Solution
\[\text{If the area of a triangle with vertices ( - 2, 0) (0, 4) and (0, k) is 4 square units, then }\]
\[ ∆_1 = \frac{1}{2}\begin{vmatrix} - 2 & 0 & 1\\ 0 & 4 & 1\\ 0 & k & 1 \end{vmatrix}\]
\[ = \frac{1}{2} \left\{ - 2 \times \begin{vmatrix} 4 & 1\\k & 1\end{vmatrix} \right\} \left[\text{ Expanding along }C_1 \right]\]
\[ = - \left( 4 - k \right)\]
Since area is always +ve, we take its absolute value, which is given as 4 square units .
\[ \Rightarrow - \left( 4 - k \right) = \pm 4\]
\[ \Rightarrow - \left( 4 - k \right) = \pm 4\]
\[ \Rightarrow - \left( 4 - k \right) = 4 or - \left( 4 - k \right) = - 4\]
\[ \Rightarrow k = 4 + 4 or k = - 4 + 4\]
\[ \Rightarrow k = 8 \text{ or }k = 0\]

The prices of three commodities P, Q and R are Rs x, y and z per unit respectively. A purchases 4 units of R and sells 3 units of P and 5 units of Q. B purchases 3 units of Q and sells 2 units of P and 1 unit of R. Cpurchases 1 unit of P and sells 4 units of Q and 6 units of R. In the process A, B and C earn Rs 6000, Rs 5000 and Rs 13000 respectively. If selling the units is positive earning and buying the units is negative earnings, find the price per unit of three commodities by using matrix method.
