QUES. 2 −3 −2 −4 1 2 0 [4]
i. If A = [ 2 1 2 ], B = = [−2 −1 −2], then find AB and use it to solve
2 1 3 0 −1 1
the following system of equations:
x – 2y = 3
2x – y – z = 2
-2y + z = 3.
ii. Three shopkeepers Gaurav, Rizwan and Jacob use carry bags made of polythene, [3]
handmade paper and newspaper. The number of polythene bags, handmade bags and
newspaper bags used by Gaurav, Rizwan and Jacob are (20, 30, 40), (30, 40, 20) and (40, 20,
30) respectively. One polythene bag costs Rs. 1, one handmade bag is Rs. 5 and one newspaper
bag costs Rs. 2. Gaurav, Rizwan and Jacob spend Rs. A, Rs. B and Rs. C respectively on these
carry bags.
Using the concepts of matrices and determinants, answer the following questions:

a) Represent the above information in Matrix form.

iii. If x + y + z = 0, then show that | 𝑥 𝑦 𝑧 | = 0, using properties of [3]
x3 𝑦3 𝑧3
determinant.

QUES. 3 i. A function f: [-4,4] → [0,4] is given by f(x) = √16 − 𝑥 2 . Show that f is an onto [4]
function but not a one one function. Further, find all possible values of ‘a’ for
which f(a) = √7.

ii. Using properties of determinant, prove that [3]
