Solution:
Given A = $$\left(\begin{array}{lll} 1 & 2 & 3 \\ 2 & 3 & 4 \\ 3 & 5 & 7 \end{array}\right)$$
Consider $$\left(\begin{array}{lll} 1 & 2 & 3 \\ 2 & 3 & 4 \\ 3 & 5 & 7 \end{array}\right)$$
= 1(21 – 20) – 2(14 – 12) + 3(10 – 9)
= 1 – 4 + 3
= 0
Since third order minor equals zero, ρ(A) < 3
Consider $$\left|\begin{array}{ll} 1 & 2 \\ 2 & 3 \end{array}\right|$$ = 3 – 4 = -1 ≠ 0
There is a minor of order 2 which is not zero. Hence ρ(A) = 2

Solution:
Given A = $$\left[\begin{array}{rrrr} 4 & 5 & -6 & -1 \\ 7 & -3 & 0 & 8 \end{array}\right]$$
Consider the minor $$\left|\begin{array}{cc} 5 & -6 \\ -3 & 0 \end{array}\right|=-18 \neq 0$$
Since a minor of order 2 is not zero, rank is 2

Question 4.
Solve the system by Cramer’s rule, 4x – 3y = 11; 6x + 5y = 7
Solution:
4x – 3y = 11; 6x + 5y = 7

Question 5.
Solve the system by rank method.
3x + 5y = -7; x + 4y = -14
Solution:
3x + 5y = -7; x + 4y = -14
The matrix equation of the system is

Number of non-zero rows is 2
So ρ(A) = ρ([A, B]) = 2
Now the new matrix equation is
-7y = 35 ⇒ y = -5
x + 4y = -14 ⇒ x = -14 – 4(-5) = 6
Solution is (6, -5)

Question 6.

III. 3 and 5 Mark Questions

Question 1.

Solution:

Question 3.

Solution:
x – y + z = 2; 2x – y = 0; 2y – z = 1
The matrix equation corresponding to the system is

Question 4.
Solve by rank method x + 2y – 3z = -4; 2x + 3y + 2z = 2; 3x – 3y – 4z = 11
Solution:
x + 2y – 3z = -4; 2x + 3y + 2z = 2; 3x – 3y – 4z = 11
The matrix equation is

The last equivalent matrix is in echelon form.
ρ(A) = ρ([A, B]) = 3 = Number of unknowns
The new matrix equation is given by $$\left(\begin{array}{ccc} 1 & 2 & -3 \\ 0 & -1 & 8 \\ 0 & 0 & -67 \end{array}\right)\left(\begin{array}{l} x \\ y \\ z \end{array}\right)=\left(\begin{array}{c} -4 \\ 10 \\ -67 \end{array}\right)$$
x + 2y – 3z = -4 ……. (1)
-y + 8z = 10 …….. (2)
-67z = -67 ……… (3)
(3) ⇒ z = 1
(2) ⇒ -y + 8 = 10 ⇒ -y = 2 ⇒ y = -2
(1) ⇒ x = -4 -2(-2) + 3(1) ⇒ x = 3
Hence the solution is (x, y, z) = (3, -2, 1)

Question 5.
The sum of three numbers is 20. If we multiply the first by 2 and add the second number and subtract the third we get 23. If we multiply the first by 3 and add second and third to it, we get 46. By using rank method find the numbers.
Solution:
Let the three number be x, y and z respectively.
According to the problem,
x + y + z = 20
2x + y – z = 23
3x + y + z = 46
The matrix equation is given by

x + y + z = 20 …….. (1)
-y – 3z = -17 …….. (2)
4z = 20 …….. (3)
(3) ⇒ z = 5
(2) ⇒ -y = -17 + 3(5) = -2 ⇒ y = 2
(1) ⇒ x = 20 – 2 – 5 = 13
Hence the three numbers are (13, 2, 5)

Question 6.
Weekly expenditure in an office for three weeks is given as follows. Calculate the salary for each type of staff using Cramer’s rule.

Solution:
Let the salary for the three types of staff A, B and C be ₹ x, ₹ y and ₹ z respectively.
According to the problem we have,
4x + 2y + 3z = 4900
3x + 3y + 2z = 4500
4x + 3y + 4z = 5800

Question 7.
Show that the equations x – 3y – 8z = -10; 3x + y – 4z = 0; 2x + 5y + 6z = 13 are consistent and have infinite sets of solution.
Solution:

The last equivalent matrix is in echelon form. It has two non-zero rows.
ρ(A) = ρ([A, B]) = 2 < number of unknowns
The system is consistent and has infinitely many solutions
The changed matrix equation is given by $$\left(\begin{array}{ccc} 1 & -3 & -8 \\ 0 & 1 & 2 \\ 0 & 0 & 0 \end{array}\right)\left(\begin{array}{c} x \\ y \\ z \end{array}\right)=\left(\begin{array}{c} -10 \\ 3 \\ 0 \end{array}\right)$$
x – 3y – 8z = -10 ……. (1)
y + 2z = 3 ……. (2)
(2) ⇒ y = 3 – 2z
(1) ⇒ x = -10 + 3y + 8z
⇒ x = -10 + 3(3 – 2z) + 8z
⇒ x = -10 + 9 – 6z + 8z
⇒ x = 2z – 1
Let us take z = k, k ∈ R. We get y = 3 – 2k and x = 2k – 1.
By giving diffemet values for k, we get different solutions.

Question 8.
Find the rank of the matrix by reducing to echelon form A = $$\left(\begin{array}{cccc} 1 & 1 & 1 & 1 \\ 1 & 3 & -2 & 1 \\ 2 & 0 & -3 & 2 \end{array}\right)$$
Solution:

Question 9.
Show that the equations x – 3y + 4z = 3; 2x – 5y + 7z = 6; 3x – 8y + 11z = 1 are inconsistent.
Solution:
x – 3y + 4z = 3; 2x – 5y + 7z = 6; 3x – 8y + 11z = 1

The last equivalent matrix is in the echelon form. [A, B] has 3 non-zero rows and [A] has 2 non-zero rows.
ρ([A, B]) = 3; ρ(A) = 2
ρ(A) ≠ ρ([A, B])
The system is inconsistent and has no solution.

Question 10.
Find k if the equations 2x + 3y – z = 5; 3x – y + 4z = 2; x + 7y – 6z = k are consistent.
Solution:
Given that the system 2x + 3y – z = 5; 3x – y + 4z = 2, x + 7y – 6z = k is consistent.

ρ(A) = 2 ρ([A, B]) = 2 or 3
For the equations to be consistent, ρ([A, B]) = ρ(A) = 2
-8 + k = 0 ⇒ k = 8

Question 11.
Find k if the equations x + y + z = 3; x + 3y + 2z = 6; x + 5y + 3z = k are inconsistent.
Solution:
Given that the system is inconsistent

For the equations to be inconsistent, ρ[(A, B)] ≠ ρ(A)
Here ρ(A) = 2 So ρ([A, B]) ≠ 2
That is the last row of the echelon matrix should not be zero
⇒ k ≠ 9

Question 12.
Two newspapers A and B are published in a city. Their present market shares are 15% for A and 85% for B. Of those who bought A the previous year, 65% continue to buy it again while 35% switch over to B. Of those who bought B the previous year, 55% buy it again and 45% switch over to A. Find their market shares after two years.
Solution:
Let the present shares of A and B be denoted by (0.15 0.85)
The transition probability matrix is given by

Hence their market shares after 2 years will be 0.546 × 100 = 54.6 % and 0.454 × 100 = 45.4%

Question 13.
The pattern of sunny and rainy days on a planet has two states. Every sunny day is followed by another sunny day with probability 0.8. Every rainy day is followed by another rainy day with probability 0.6. Today is sunny on the planet. What is the chance of rain the day after tomorrow?
Solution:
Let S and R denote sunny and rainy days on the planet
The transition probability matrix is given by

We have to find the probability of rain after two days. We have to find T2

Hence if today is sunny on the planet, the chance of rain the day after tomorrow is 0.28.
