Question

Express the following equations in matrix form and solve them by method of reduction.
x + 3y  = 2, 3x + 5y = 4

Sum

Solution

Matrix form of the given system of equations is

`[(1, 3),(3, 5)] [(x),(y)] = [(2),(4)]`

This is of the form AX = B,

where A = `[(1, 3),(3, 5)], "X" = [(x),(y)] "and B" = [(2),(4)]`

Applying R2 → R2 – 3R1, we get

`[(1, 3),(0, -4)] [(x),(y)] = [(2),(-2)]`

Hence, the original matrix A is reduced to an upper triangular matrix.

∴ `[(x + 3y),(0 - 4y)] = [(2),(-2)]`
∴ By euality of matrices, we get
x + 3y = 2                  ...(i)
– 4y = – 2                  ...(ii)
From equation (ii),
y = `(1)/(2)`
Sustituting y = `(1)/(2)` in equation (i), we get

`x + 3/2` = 2

∴ x = `2 - (3)/(2) = (1)/(2)`

∴ x = `(1)/(2) "and y" =(1)/(2)` is the required soution.

Complete the following activity.

The cost of 4 kg potato, 3kg wheat and 2kg rice is ₹ 60. The cost of 1 kg potato, 2 kg wheat and 3kg rice is ₹ 45. The cost of 6 kg potato, 3 kg rice and 2 kg wheat is ₹ 70. Find the per kg cost of each item by matrix method.

Solution: Let the cost of potato, wheat and rice per kg be x, y and z respectively.

Therefore by given conditions,

4x + ( )y + 2( ) = ( )

x + 2y + ( )( ) = ( )

( )x + 2y + 3z = ( )

Matrix form of above equations is,

`[("( )", 3, "( )"),(1, "( )", 3),("( )", 2, "( )")] [(x),(y),(z)] =[("( )"), (45), ("( )")]`

R1 ↔ R2

`[(1, 2, 3),("( )", "( )", "( )"),(6, 2, 3)] [(x),(y),(z)] =[("( )"), (60), ("( )")]`

R2 – 4R1, R3 – 6R1

`[(1, 2, 3),("( )", -5, "( )"),(0, "( )", -15)] [(x),(y),(z)] =[(45), ("( )"), (-200)]`

`(-1)/5 "R"_2, (-1)/5 "R"_3`

`[("( )", 2, 3),(0, "( )", 2),(0, 2, "( )")] [(x),("( )"),(z)] =[(45), (24), (40)]`

R3 – 2R2

`[(1, 2, 3),(0, 1, 2),(0, 0, -1)] [(x),(y),(z)] =[("( )"), ("( )"), ("( )")]`

By pre multiplying we get,

x + 2y + ( )z = ( )    .....(i)

y + 2z = 24    ......(ii)

–z = ( )      ......(iii)

From (iii), we get, z = ( )

From (ii), we get, y = ( )

From (i), we get, x = ( )
