## Gujarat Board Textbook Solutions Class 12 Maths Chapter 4 Determinants Ex 4.6

Question 1.
x + 2y = 2
2x + 3y = 3
Solution:
x + 2y = 2
2x + 3y = 3
Let A = $$\left[\begin{array}{ll} 1 & 2 \\ 2 & 3 \end{array}\right]$$
∴ |A| = $$\left|\begin{array}{ll} 1 & 2 \\ 2 & 3 \end{array}\right|$$ = 3 – 4 = – 1
So, |A| ≠ 0.
∴ System of equations has a unique solution.
Hence, the system of equations is consistent.

Question 2.
2x – y = 5
x + y = 4
Solution:
2x – y = 5
x + y = 4
Let A = $$\left[\begin{array}{ll} 2 & -1 \\ 1 & 1 \end{array}\right]$$
∴ |A| = $$\left|\begin{array}{ll} 2 & -1 \\ 1 & 1 \end{array}\right|$$ = 2 + 1 = 3 ≠ 0.
∴ System of equations is consistent.

Question 3.
x + 3y = 5
2x + 6y = 8
Solution:
x + 3y = 5
2x + 6y = 8
Let A = $$\left[\begin{array}{ll} 1 & 3 \\ 2 & 6 \end{array}\right]$$
∴ |A| = $$\left|\begin{array}{ll} 1 & 3 \\ 2 & 6 \end{array}\right|$$ = 6 – 6 = 0.
Now adj A = $$\left[\begin{array}{ll} 6 & -2 \\ -3 & 1 \end{array}\right]$$ = $$\left[\begin{array}{ll} 6 & -3 \\ -2 & 1 \end{array}\right]$$ and B = $$\left[\begin{array}{l} 5 \\ 8 \end{array}\right]$$
(adj A).B = $$\left[\begin{array}{ll} 6 & -3 \\ -2 & 1 \end{array}\right]$$$$\left[\begin{array}{l} 5 \\ 8 \end{array}\right]$$ = $$\left[\begin{array}{l} 30-24 \\ -10+8 \end{array}\right]$$
= $$\left[\begin{array}{l} 6 \\ -2 \end{array}\right]$$ ≠ 0.
∴ Given System of equations is inconsistent.

Question 4.
x + y + z = 1
2x + 3y + 2z = 2

ax + ay + 2az = 4 or x + y + 2z = $$\frac { 4 }{ a }$$
Let A = $$\left[\begin{array}{lll} 1 & 1 & 1 \\ 2 & 3 & 2 \\ 1 & 1 & 2 \end{array}\right]$$, X = $$\left[\begin{array}{l} x \\ y \\ z \end{array}\right]$$ and B = $$\left[\begin{array}{c} 1 \\ 2 \\ 4 / a \end{array}\right]$$.
Now, |A| = $$\left|\begin{array}{lll} 1 & 1 & 1 \\ 2 & 3 & 3 \\ 1 & 1 & 2 \end{array}\right|$$ = 1.(6-2)-1.(4-2)+1.(2-3)

Question 16.
The cost of 4 kg onions, 3 kg wheat and 2kg rice is ₹ 60. The cost of 2 kg onions, 4 kg wheat and 6 kg rice ₹ 90. The cost of 6 kg onions, 2 kg wheat and 3 kg rice is 70. Find the cost of each item per kg by matrix method.
Solution:
Let the cost of ornons, wheat and rice per kg be ₹ x, ₹ y and ₹ z respectively.
The cost of 4 kg onions, 3 kg wheat and 2 kg rice = ₹ 60.
∴ 4x + 3y + 2z = 60. … (1)
The cost of 2 kg onions, 4 kg wheat and 6 kg rice = ₹ 90
∴ 2x + 4y + 6z = 90 … (2)
The cost of 6 kg onions, 2 kg wheat and 3 kg rice = ₹ 70
∴ 6x + 2y + 3z = 70 … (3)
The system of equations is
4x + 3y + 2z = 60
x + 2y + 3z = 45 [Dividing equation (2) by 2]
6x + 2y + 3z = 70,
which may be written as
AX = B or X = A-1B,

⇒ The cost of onions, wheat and rice per kg are ₹ 5, ₹ 8, ₹ 8 respectively.

Also, we have given equations as
x – 2y = 10
2x – y – z = 8
and – 2y + z = 7
or $$\left[\begin{array}{ccc} 1 & -2 & 0 \\ 2 & -1 & -1 \\ 0 & -2 & 1 \end{array}\right]$$$$\left[\begin{array}{l} x \\ y \\ z \end{array}\right]$$ = $$\left[\begin{array}{l} 10 \\ 8 \\ 7 \end{array}\right]$$
or CX = D,
where C = $$\left[\begin{array}{ccc} 1 & -2 & 0 \\ 2 & -1 & -1 \\ 0 & -2 & 1 \end{array}\right]$$, X = $$\left[\begin{array}{l} x \\ y \\ z \end{array}\right]$$
and D = $$\left[\begin{array}{l} 10 \\ 8 \\ 7 \end{array}\right]$$.
We know that (A’)-1 = (A-1)’.
∴ C’ = $$\left[\begin{array}{ccc} 1 & -2 & 0 \\ – 2 & -1 & -2 \\ 0 & – 1 & 1 \end{array}\right]$$
