Question
For what value of x, the following matrix is singular?
Advertisements
Solution
If a matrix A is singular, then \[\left| A \right| = 0\]
\[\therefore \begin{vmatrix}5 - x & x + 1 \\ 2 & 4\end{vmatrix} = 0\]
\[\Rightarrow 4(5 - x) - 2(x + 1) 0\]
\[ \Rightarrow 20 - 4x - 2x - 2\]
\[ \Rightarrow 18 - 6x = 0\]
\[ \Rightarrow 18 = 6x\]
\[ \Rightarrow x = 3\]

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.
The management committee of a residential colony decided to award some of its members (say x) for honesty, some (say y) for helping others and some others (say z) for supervising the workers to keep the colony neat and clean. The sum of all the awardees is 12. Three times the sum of awardees for cooperation and supervision added to two times the number of awardees for honesty is 33. If the sum of the number of awardees for honesty and supervision is twice the number of awardees for helping others, using matrix method, find the number of awardees of each category. Apart from these values, namely, honesty, cooperation and supervision, suggest one more value which the management of the colony must include for awards.
