Question
If the matrix \[\begin{bmatrix}5x & 2 \\ - 10 & 1\end{bmatrix}\] is singular, find the value of x.

Solution
A matrix is said to be singular if its determinant is zero. Since the given matrix is singular, we get
\[A = \begin{bmatrix} 5x & 2 \\- 10 & 1 \end{bmatrix} \]
\[ \Rightarrow \left| A \right| = \begin{vmatrix} 5x & 2 \\- 10 & 1 \end{vmatrix} = 0\]
\[ \Rightarrow 5x + 20 = 0 \left[\text{ Expanding }\right]\]
\[ \Rightarrow x = - \frac{20}{5} = - 4\]

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.
