Question 16:

Solve the system of the following equations

Answer:

Let 

Then the given system of equations is as follows:

This system can be written in the form of AX = B, where

A

Thus, A is non-singular. Therefore, its inverse exists.

Now,

A₁₁ = 75, A₁₂ = 110, A₁₃ = 72

A₂₁ = 150, A₂₂ = −100, A₂₃ = 0

A₃₁ = 75, A₃₂ = 30, A₃₃ = − 24

Question 17:

Choose the correct answer.

If a, b, c, are in A.P., then the determinant

A. 0 B. 1 C. x D. 2x

Answer:

Answer: A

Here, all the elements of the first row (R₁) are zero.

Hence, we have Δ = 0.

The correct answer is A.
