Solution
\[\text{ Let }∆ = \begin{vmatrix}1 & x & x^2 \\ 1 & a & a^2 \\ 1 & b & b^2\end{vmatrix}\]
\[ = \begin{vmatrix}1 & x & x^2 \\ 0 & x - a & x^2 - a^2 \\ 1 & b & b^2\end{vmatrix} \left[\text{ Applying }R_2 \text{ to }R_1 - R_2 \right]\]
\[ = \begin{vmatrix}1 & x & x^2 \\ 0 & x - a & x^2 - a^2 \\ 0 & x - b & x^2 - b^2\end{vmatrix} \left[\text{ Applying }R_3 \text{ to }R_1 - R_3 \right]\]
\[ = \left( x - a \right)\left( x - b \right)\begin{vmatrix}1 & x & x^2 \\ 0 & 1 & x + a \\ 0 & 1 & x + b\end{vmatrix} \]
\[ ∆ = \left( x - a \right)\left( x - b \right)\left( x + b - x - a \right) = 0\]
\[x = a, b\]

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.
