SECTION C (3marks each)

9. Three schools A, B and C organized a mela for collecting funds for helping the rehabilitation of flood
victims. They sold hand made fans, mats and plates from recycled material at a cost of ₹ 25, ₹100 and
₹50 each. The number of articles sold are given below :

School A B C
Article

Hand fans 40 25 35
Mats 50 40 50
Plates 20 30 40

Find the funds collected by each school separately by selling the above articles. Also find the
total funds collected for the purpose.

Sol. Let the funds collected by schools A, B and C be x, y and z (in ₹) respectively.
So, 𝐹𝑎𝑛𝑠 𝑀𝑎𝑡𝑠 𝑃𝑙𝑎𝑡𝑒𝑠𝐶𝑜𝑠𝑡
𝐹𝑢𝑛𝑑𝑠𝑏𝑦𝑠𝑐ℎ𝑜𝑜𝑙𝐴 → 𝑥 40 50 20 25

𝐹𝑢𝑛𝑑𝑠𝑏𝑦𝑠𝑐ℎ𝑜𝑜𝑙𝐶 → 𝑧 35 50 40 50
𝑥 8 10 4 1 8 + 40 + 8 𝑥 56 7000
⇒ [𝑦] = 5 × 25 [5 8 6] [4] = 125 [5 + 32 + 12] ⇒ [𝑦] = 125 [49] = [6125]
𝑧 7 10 8 2 7 + 40 + 16 𝑧 63 7875
By equality of matrices, we get : 𝑥 = 7000, 𝑦 = 6125, 𝑧 = 7875.
So the funds collected by school A is ₹ 7000, by school B is ₹ 6125 and by school C is ₹ 7875.
And, total funds collected = ₹(7000 + 6125 + 7875) = ₹21000.

To prove, (𝐴𝐵)′ = 𝐵 ′ 𝐴′

Now, 𝐴𝐵 = [−4] [−1 2 1]1×3 ⇒ 𝐴𝐵 = [ 4 −8 −4]

∴ (𝐴𝐵)′ = [ 4 −8 −4] .....(i)

Now, 𝐵 = [ 2 ] 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝐴 = [1 − 4 3] ∴ 𝐵 𝐴 = [ 2 ] [1 − 4 3]

⇒ 𝐵 ′ 𝐴′ = [ 2 −8 6 ]

11. Let 𝐴 = {𝑥 ∈ 𝑍: 0 ≤ 𝑥 ≤ 12}. Show that

𝑅 = {(𝑎, 𝑏): 𝑎, 𝑏 ∈ 𝐴, |𝑎 − 𝑏| is divisible by 4} is an equivalence relation.
Find the set of all elements related to 1. Also write the equivalence class [2].

Sol. We have R = (a, b) : a, b  A, | a − b | is divisible by 4 and

A = x  Z : 0  x  12 i.e., A = {0,1,2,...,12} .
Reflexivity : For any a  A , we have | a − a | = 0 , which is divisible by 4. That is, (a,a)  R so,
R is reflexive.
Symmetry : Let (a, b)  R  a,b  A . We have | a − b | is divisible by 4.
As | a − b | = | b − a | . So | b − a | is also divisible by 4. That is, (b, a)  R so, R is symmetric.
Transitivity : Let a, b,c  A such that (a, b)  R and (b,c)  R then, | a − b | is divisible by 4
and | b − c | is divisible by 4.
This implies that | a − b | = 4m and | b − c | = 4p where m, p  Z .
As (a − b) + (b − c) = 4(m + p)  a − c = 4(m + p) | a − c | = 4(m + p) .
That is | a − c | is also divisible by 4 so, R is transitive.
Since the relation R is reflexive, symmetric and transitive so, it is an equivalence relation.
Also the set of all elements related to 1 in relation R is {1, 5, 9}.
Now let (2, x)  R so that |2 – x| is divisible by 4  x  A .
That is, x = 2,6,10 . Hence [2] = {2, 6, 10}.

By equality of matrices, we get :
2𝑎 − 𝑑 = −1,2𝑏 − 𝑒 = −8,2𝑐 − 𝑓 = −10, 𝑎 = 1, 𝑏 = −2, 𝑐 = −5,
−3𝑎 + 4𝑑 = 9, −3𝑏 + 4𝑒 = 22, −3𝑐 + 4𝑓 = 15
So, 𝑎 = 1, 𝑏 = −2, 𝑐 = −5, 𝑑 = 3, 𝑒 = 4, 𝑓 = 0.

(y) and tennis (z). School A decided to award a total of ₹ 1000 for the three games to 5, 4 and 3 students
respectively while school B decided to award ₹ 10700 for the three games to 4, 3 and 5 students
respectively. Also, all the three prizes together amount to ₹ 2700.
Using the information given above, answer the following :
(i) A student Jiva is tested by the teacher, as he asks her, “Is the given system of equations
consistent or inconsistent?” What could be Jiva’s correct answer?

5 4 3
⇒ |𝐴| = |4 3 5| = 5(3 − 5) − 4(4 − 5) + 3(4 − 3) = −3 ≠ 0

the symbols x, y and z respectively.
5 4 3 𝑥 11000
So, (4 3 5) (𝑦) = (10700).

(iii)The teacher then asks another student Rita to form linear equations for the information given above.
Which of the following maybe the correct choice for her?
(a) 5𝑥 + 4𝑦 + 3𝑧 = 11000,4𝑥 + 3𝑦 + 𝑧 = 10700, 𝑥 + 𝑦 + 5𝑧 = 2700
(b) 5𝑥 + 4𝑦 + 3𝑧 = 11000,4𝑥 + 3𝑦 + 𝑧 = 10700, 𝑥 + 𝑦 + 𝑧 = 2700
(c) 5𝑥 + 4𝑦 + 3𝑧 = 11000,4𝑥 + 3𝑦 + 5𝑧 = 10700, 𝑥 + 𝑦 = 2700
(d) 5𝑥 + 4𝑦 + 3𝑧 = 11000,4𝑥 + 3𝑦 + 5𝑧 = 10700, 𝑥 + 𝑦 + 𝑧 = 2700
Sol: (d) Using the matrix equation in (i), we will get the linear equations, as
5𝑥 + 4𝑦 + 3𝑧 = 11000, 4𝑥 + 3𝑦 + 5𝑧 = 10700, 𝑥 + 𝑦 + 𝑧 = 2700.

(iv) What will be the total prize amount if there are 2 students each from hockey and cricket and
only one student for tennis?
(a) ₹1500 (b) ₹1020 (c) ₹2700 (d) ₹4600
Sol: (d) Total prize amount = (2𝑥 + 2𝑦 + 𝑧) = (2000 + 1800 + 800) = 4600.
(v) The prize amount for the hockey is
(a) ₹800 (b) ₹900 (c) ₹1000 (d) ₹700

Ans: (c)1000
5 4 3 𝑥 11000
We have 𝐴 = (4 3 5). Let 𝑋 = (𝑦) 𝑎𝑛𝑑𝐵 = (10700)
1 1 1 𝑧 2700
Let A ij be the cofactor of element a ij of matrix A.
𝐴11 = −2, 𝐴12 = 1, 𝐴13 = 1 𝐴21 = −1, 𝐴22 = 2, 𝐴23 = −1 𝐴31 = 11,
𝐴32 = −13, 𝐴33 = −1
−2 −1 11
So, 𝑎𝑑𝑗. 𝐴 = ( 1 2 −13)
1 −1 −1
−1 𝑎𝑑𝑗.𝐴
As 𝐴 = |𝐴|
−2 −1 11
−1 1
⇒ 𝐴 = −3 ( 1 2 −13)
1 −1 −1
Since X = A−1B
−2 −1 11 110

⇒ 𝑋 = −3 ( 1 2 −13) (107) × 100
1 −1 −1 27

⇒ 𝑋 = (9 ) × 100

𝑥 1000
⇒ (𝑦) = (900 )
𝑧 800
By equality of matrices, we get :
 x = 1000, y = 900, z = 800
So, clearly the prize amount for hockey is x = 1000.
