Solution:
Given A = \(\left(\begin{array}{lll}
1 & 2 & 3 \\
2 & 3 & 4 \\
3 & 5 & 7
\end{array}\right)\)
Consider \(\left(\begin{array}{lll}

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

The matrix equation of the system is
Samacheer Kalvi 12th Business Maths Solutions Chapter 1 Applications of Matrices and Determinants Additional Problems 5
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)

Samacheer Kalvi 12th Business Maths Solutions Chapter 1 Applications of Matrices and Determinants Additional Problems 11
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 \\

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
Samacheer Kalvi 12th Business Maths Solutions Chapter 1 Applications of Matrices and Determinants Additional Problems 13
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)

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.

x – 3y + 4z = 3; 2x – 5y + 7z = 6; 3x – 8y + 11z = 1
Samacheer Kalvi 12th Business Maths Solutions Chapter 1 Applications of Matrices and Determinants Additional Problems 20
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.
Samacheer Kalvi 12th Business Maths Solutions Chapter 1 Applications of Matrices and Determinants Additional Problems 21
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
Samacheer Kalvi 12th Business Maths Solutions Chapter 1 Applications of Matrices and Determinants Additional Problems 22
Samacheer Kalvi 12th Business Maths Solutions Chapter 1 Applications of Matrices and Determinants Additional Problems 23
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.

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
Samacheer Kalvi 12th Business Maths Solutions Chapter 1 Applications of Matrices and Determinants Additional Problems 24
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
Samacheer Kalvi 12th Business Maths Solutions Chapter 1 Applications of Matrices and Determinants Additional Problems 25
We have to find the probability of rain after two days. We have to find T2
Samacheer Kalvi 12th Business Maths Solutions Chapter 1 Applications of Matrices and Determinants Additional Problems 26
Hence if today is sunny on the planet, the chance of rain the day after tomorrow is 0.28.
