Question 1.
Solve the following equations using Cramer’s Rule.
(i) x + 2y – z = 5, 2x – y + z = 1, 3x + 3y = 8
Solution:
Given equations are
x + 2y – z = 5
2x – y + z = 1
3x + 3y = 8 i.e. 3x + 3y + 0z = 8
∴ D = \(\left|\begin{array}{ccc}
1 & 2 & -1 \\
2 & -1 & 1 \\
3 & 3 & 0
\end{array}\right|\)
= 1(0 – 3) – 2(0 – 3) – 1(6 + 3)
= -3 + 6 – 9
= -6
D x = \(\left|\begin{array}{ccc}
5 & 2 & -1 \\
1 & -1 & 1 \\
8 & 3 & 0
\end{array}\right|\)
= 5(0 – 3) – 2(0 – 8) + (-1)(3 + 8)
= -15 + 16 – 11
= -10
D y = \(\left|\begin{array}{ccc}
1 & 5 & -1 \\
2 & 1 & 1 \\
3 & 8 & 0
\end{array}\right|\)
= 1(0 – 8) – 5(0 – 3) + 1(16 – 3)
= -8 + 15 – 13
= -6
D z = \(\left|\begin{array}{ccc}
1 & 2 & 5 \\
2 & -1 & 1 \\
3 & 3 & 8
\end{array}\right|\)
= 1(-8 – 3) – 2(16 – 3) + 5(6 + 3)
= -11 – 26 + 45
= 8
By Cramer’s Rule,

x = \(\frac{5}{3}\), y = 1 and z = \(\frac{-4}{3}\) are the solutions of the given equations.

Check:
We can check if our answer is right or wrong.
In order to do so, substitute the values of x, y and z in the given equations.
x = \(\frac{5}{3}\), y = 1 and z = \(\frac{-4}{3}\) satisfy the given equations.
If either one of the equations is not satisfied, then our answer is wrong.
If x = \(\frac{5}{3}\), y = 1 and z = \(\frac{-4}{3}\) are the solutions of the given equations.
L.H.S. = x + 2y – z
= \(\frac{5}{3}+2-\frac{4}{3}\)
= \(\frac{7}{3}\)
β‰  R.H.S.
L.H.S. = 2x – y + z
= \(\frac{10}{3}-1+\frac{4}{3}\)
= \(\frac{11}{3}\)
β‰  R.H.S.
L.H.S. = 3x + 3y
= 5 + 3
= 8
= R.H.S.

Question 2.
An amount of β‚Ή 5,000 is invested in three plans at rates 6%, 7% and 8% per annum respectively. The total annual income from these investments is β‚Ή 350. If the total annual income from first two investments is β‚Ή 70 more than the income from the third, find the amount invested in each plan by using Cramer’s Rule.
Solution:
Let the amount of each investment be β‚Ή x, β‚Ή y and β‚Ή z.
According to the given conditions,
x + y + z = 5000
6%x + 7%y + 8%z = 350
∴ \(\frac{6}{100} x+\frac{7}{100} y-\frac{8}{100} z=350\)
∴ 6x + 7y + 8z = 35000
6%x + 7%y = 8%z + 70
∴ \(\frac{6}{100} x+\frac{7}{100} y=\frac{8}{100} z+70\)
∴ 6x + 7y = 8z + 7000
∴ 6x + 7y – 8z = 7000

∴ Amounts of investments are β‚Ή 1750, β‚Ή 1500, and β‚Ή 1750.

Check:
First condition:
1750 + 1500 + 1750 = 5000
Second condition:
6% of 1750 + 7% of 1500 + 8% of 1750
= 105 + 105 + 140
= 350
Third condition:
Combined income = 105 + 105
= 210
= 140 + 70
Thus, all the conditions are satisfied.

Question 3.
Show that the following equations are consistent.
2x + 3y + 4 = 0, x + 2y + 3 = 0, 3x + 4y + 5 = 0
Solution:
Given equations are
2x + 3y + 4 = 0
x + 2y + 3 = 0
3x + 4y + 5 = 0
∴ \(\left|\begin{array}{lll}
2 & 3 & 4 \\

3 & 4 & 5
\end{array}\right|\)
= 2(10 – 12) – 3(5 – 9) + 4(4 – 6)
= 2(-2) – 3(-4) + 4(-2)
= -4 + 12 – 8
= 0

Question 4.
Find k, if the following equations are consistent.
(i) x + 3y + 2 = 0, 2x + 4y – k = 0, x – 2y – 3k = 0
Solution:
Given equations are
x + 3y + 2 = 0
2x + 4y – k = 0
x – 2y – 3k = 0
Since, these equations are consistent.
∴ \(\left|\begin{array}{ccc}
1 & 3 & 2 \\
2 & 4 & -k \\
1 & -2 & -3 k
\end{array}\right|=0\)
∴ 1(-12k – 2k) – 3(-6k + k) + 2(-4 – 4) = 0
∴ -14k + 15k – 16 = 0
∴ k – 16 = 0
∴ k = 16
Check:
If the value of k satisfies the condition for the given equations to be consistent, then our answer is correct.
Substitute k = 16 in the given equation.
\(\left|\begin{array}{ccc}
1 & 3 & 2 \\
2 & 4 & -16 \\
1 & -2 & -48
\end{array}\right|\)
= 1(-192 – 32) – 3(-96 + 16) + 2(-4 – 4)
= 0
Thus, our answer is correct.

(ii) (k – 2)x + (k – 1)y = 17, (k – 1)x + (k – 2)y = 18, x + y = 5
Solution:
Given equations are
(k – 2)x + (k – 1)y = 17
(k – 1)x + (k – 2)y = 18
x + y = 5
Since, these equations are consistent.
∴ \(\left|\begin{array}{ccc}
k-2 & k-1 & -17 \\
k-1 & k-2 & -18 \\
1 & 1 & -5
\end{array}\right|=0\)
Applying R 1 β†’ R 1 – R 2 , we get
\(\left|\begin{array}{ccc}
-1 & 1 & 1 \\
k-1 & k-2 & -18 \\
1 & 1 & -5
\end{array}\right|=0\)
∴ -1(-5k + 10 + 18) – 1(-5k + 5 + 18) + 1(k – 1 – k + 2) = 0
∴ -1(-5k – 28) – 1(- 5k + 23) + 1(1) = 0
∴ 5k – 28 + 5k – 23 – 1 = 0
∴ 10k – 50 = 0
∴ k = 5

x_{1} & y_{1} & 1 \\
x_{2} & y_{2} & 1 \\

x_{b} & y_{1} & 1 \\
x_{2} & y_{2} & 1 \\

∴ \(\frac{1}{2}\left|\begin{array}{ccc}
k & 3 & 1 \\
-5 & 7 & 1 \\
-1 & 4 & 1
\end{array}\right|\) = Β±4
∴ k(7 – 4) – 3(-5 + 1) + 1(-20 + 7) = Β±8
∴ 3k + 12 – 13 = Β±8
∴ 3k – 1 = Β±8
∴ 3k – 1 = 8 or 3k – 1 = -8

Question 9.
The sum of three numbers is 15. If the second number is subtracted from the sum of first and third numbers, then we get 5. When the third number is subtracted from the sum of twice the first number and the second number, we get 4. Find the three numbers.
Solution:
Let the three numbers be x, y and z.
According to the given conditions,
x + y + z = 15
x + z – y = 5 i.e. x – y + z = 5
2x + y – z = 4
D = \(\left|\begin{array}{ccc}

= 6 β‰  0
D x = \(\left|\begin{array}{ccc}

= 15(0) – 1(-9) + 1(9)
= 0 + 9 + 9
= 18
D y = \(\left|\begin{array}{ccc}
1 & 15 & 1 \\
1 & 5 & 1 \\
2 & 4 & -1
\end{array}\right|\)
= 1(-5 – 4) – 15(-1 – 2) + 1(4 – 10)
= 1(-9) – 15(-3) + 1(-6)
= -9 + 45 – 6
= 30
D z = \(\left|\begin{array}{ccc}
1 & 1 & 15 \\
1 & -1 & 5 \\
2 & 1 & 4
\end{array}\right|\)
= 1(-4 – 5) – 1(4 – 10) + 15(1 + 2)
= 1(-9) – 1(-6) + 15(3)
= -9 + 6 + 45
= 42
By Cramer’s Rule,
x = \(\frac{D_{x}}{D}=\frac{18}{6}\) = 3
y = \(\frac{D_{y}}{D}=\frac{30}{6}\) = 5
z = \(\frac{D_{z}}{D}=\frac{42}{6}\) = 7
∴ The three numbers are 3, 5 and 7.
