Question

Solve the following equations by reduction method : 

x + 2y + z = 8 

2x+ 3y - z = 11 

3x - y - 2z = 5

Sum

Solution

Given :

x + 2y + z = 8 

2x+ 3y - z = 11 

3x - y - 2z = 5

Its matrix form is 

`[(1,2,1),(2,3,-1),(3,-1,-2)] [(x),(y),(z)] = [(8),(11),(5)]`

R2 → R2 - 2R1 , R3 → R3 - 3R1

`[(1,2,1),(0,-1,-3),(0,-7,-5)] [(x),(y),(z)] = [(8),(-5),(-19)]`

R3 → R3 - 7 R2

`[(1,2,1),(0,-1,-3),(0,0,16)] [(x),(y),(z)] = [(8),(-5),(16)]`

Now write the equation in the original form 

x + 2y + z = 8 ... (i) 

- y- 3z = -5 ... (ii) 

I6z  = 16   .....(iii)

From (iii).  z = 1 

Putting z = 1 in equation (ii) 

We get y = 2 

Putting z = 1, y = 2 in equation (i) 

we get x = 3 

∴ Solution is x = 3, y = 2, z = 1.

A computers centre has four expert programmers . The centre needs four application programmes to be developed. The head of the computer centre , after stying carefully the programmes to be developed , estimates the computer time in minutes required by the respective experts to develop the application programmes as follows :

  Programmes
Programmes 1 2 3 4
  (Times in minutes)
A 120 100 80 90
