The monthly incomes of Aryan and Babban are in the ratio 3 : 4 and their monthly expenditures are in the ratio 5 : 7. If each saves Rs 15,000 per month, find their monthly incomes using matrix method. This problem reflects which value?
Answer:
Let the monthly incomes of Aryan and Babban be 3x and 4x, respectively.
Suppose their monthly expenditures are 5y and 7y, respectively.
Since each saves Rs 15,000 per month,
The above system of equations can be written in the matrix form as follows:
or,
AX = B, where
Now,

So,
Therefore,
Monthly income of Aryan =

Question 63:
If A is a square matrix, using mathematical induction prove that (AT)n = (An)T for all n ∈ ℕ.
Answer:
Let the given statement P(n), be given as
P(n): (AT)n = (An)T for all n ∈ ℕ.
We observe that
P(1): (AT)1 = AT = (A1)T
Thus, P(n) is true for n = 1.
Assume that P(n) is true for n = k ∈ ℕ.
i.e., P(k): (AT)k = (Ak)T
To prove that P(k + 1) is true, we have
(AT)k + 1 = (AT)k.(AT)1
= (Ak)T.(A1)T
= (Ak + 1)T
Thus, P(k + 1) is true, whenever P(k) is true.
Hence, by the Principle of mathematical induction, P(n) is true for all n ∈ ℕ.

A trust fund has Rs 30000 that must be invested in two different types of bonds. The first bond pays 5% interest per year, and the second bond pays 7% interest per year. Using matrix multiplication, determine how to divide Rs 30000 among the two types of bonds. If the trust fund must obtain an annual total interest of
(i) Rs 1800 (ii) Rs 2000
Answer:
If Rs x are invested in the first type of bond and Rs are invested in the second type of bond, then the matrix represents investment and the matrix represents rate of interest.
Thus,
Amount invested in the first bond = Rs 15000
Amount invested in the second bond = Rs

Question 77:
In a parliament election, a political party hired a public relations firm to promote its candidates in three ways − telephone, house calls and letters. The cost per contact (in paisa) is given in matrix A as
The number of contacts of each type made in two cities X and Y is given in the matrix B as
Find the total amount spent by the party in the two cities.
What should one consider before casting his/her vote − party's promotional activity of their social activities?
Answer:
According to the question,
Let A be the matrix showing the cost per contact (in paisa).
And, B be a matrix showing the number of contacts of each type made in two cities X and Y.
Now, the total amount spent by the party in the two cities will be shown by BA.
Hence, the total amount spent by the party in the two cities is
X: ₹9900
Y: ₹21200
One should consider social activities of a party before casting his/her vote.

Question 78:
The monthly incomes of Aryan and Babban are in the ratio 3 : 4 and their monthly expenditures are in the ratio 5 : 7. If each saves ₹ 15,000 per month, find their monthly incomes using matrix method. This problem reflects which value?
Answer:
Let the monthly incomes of Aryan and Babban be 3x and 4x, respectively.
Suppose their monthly expenditures are 5y and 7y, respectively.
Since each saves Rs 15,000 per month,
The above system of equations can be written in the matrix form as follows:
or,
AX = B, where
Now,
Adj A=
So,
Therefore,
Monthly income of Aryan =
Monthly income of Babban =
From this problem, we are encouraged to understand the power of savings. We should save certain part of our monthly income for the future.

Question 79:
A trust invested some money in two type of bonds. The first bond pays 10% interest and second bond pays 12% interest. The trust received ₹ 2800 as interest. However, if trust had interchanged money in bonds, they would have got ₹ 100 less as interes. Using matrix method, find the amount invested by the trust.
Answer:
Let Rs x be invested in the first bond and Rs y be invested in the second bond.
Let A be the investment matrix and B be the interest per rupee matrix. Then,
If the rates of interest had been interchanged, then the total interest earned is Rs 100 less than the previous interest.
The system of equations (1) and (2) can be expressed as
PX = Q, where
Thus, P is invertible.
Therefore, Rs 10,000 be invested in the first bond and Rs 15,000 be invested in the second bond.

Question 1:
If a matrix has 8 elements, what are the possible orders it can have? What if it has 5 elements?
Answer:
We know that if a matrix is of order , then it has mn elements.
The possible orders of a matrix with 8 elements are given below:
