⇒
Therefore, x = 1, y = 2, z = 3
Question 16. The cost of 4 kg onion, 3 kg wheat and 2 kg rice is 60 rupees. The cost of 2 kg onion, 4 kg wheat and 6 kg rice is 90 rupees. The cost of 6 kg onion 2 kg wheat and 3 kg rice is 70 rupees. Find cost of each item per kg by matrix method.
Solution:
Let Rs x, Rs y, Rs z per kg be the prices of onion, wheat and rice respectively.
A.T.Q.
4x+3y+2z=60
2x+4y+6z=90
6x+2y+3z=70
Matrix form of equation is AX = B
