Question
For what value of x is the matrix \[\begin{bmatrix}6 - x & 4 \\ 3 - x & 1\end{bmatrix}\] singular?
Advertisements
Solution
\[\begin{vmatrix}6 - x & 4 \\ 3 - x & 1\end{vmatrix}\text{ is singular when its determinant is 0 .} \]
\[ \Rightarrow \begin{vmatrix}6 - x & 4 \\ 3 - x & 1\end{vmatrix} = 0\]
\[ \Rightarrow \left( 6 - x \right) - 4\left( 3 - x \right) = 0\]
\[ \Rightarrow 6 - x - 12 + 4x = 0\]
\[ \Rightarrow 3x - 6 = 0\]
\[ \Rightarrow 3x = 6\]
\[ \Rightarrow x = \frac{6}{3} = 2\]

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.
Two schools A and B want to award their selected students on the values of sincerity, truthfulness and helpfulness. The school A wants to award ₹x each, ₹y each and ₹z each for the three respective values to 3, 2 and 1 students respectively with a total award money of ₹1,600. School B wants to spend ₹2,300 to award its 4, 1 and 3 students on the respective values (by giving the same award money to the three values as before). If the total amount of award for one prize on each value is ₹900, using matrices, find the award money for each value. Apart from these three values, suggest one more value which should be considered for award.
