Need solution for RD Sharma maths class 12 chapter Algebra of matrices exercise 4.3 question (71) math
Answer: Bill of A=Rs 157.80, bill of B=Rs 167.40 and bill of C=Rs 281.40
Hint: Matrix multiplication is only possible, when the number of columns of first matrix is equal to the number of rows of second matrix.
Given: Three shopkeepers A, B and C.
A purchases 12 dozen notebooks, 5 dozen pens and 6 dozen pencils.
B purchases 10 dozen notebooks, 6 dozen pens and 7 dozen pencils.
C purchase 11 dozen notebooks, 13 dozen pens and 8 dozen pencils.
Cost of notebook=40 paise = Rs 0.40
Cost of pen=Rs 1.25
Cost of pencil=35 paise = Rs 0.35
The number of items purchased by A, B and C are represented in matrix form as,
[As we know 1 dozen=12 quantity]
Now, matrix formed by the cost of each item is given by,
Individual bill can be calculated by
So,
Bill of A=Rs 157.80
Bill of B=Rs 167.40
Bill of C=Rs 281.40
