The monthly incomes of Aryan and Babban are in the ration 3: 4 and their monthly expenditures are in the ratio 5: 7. If each saves 15000 per month, find their monthly incomes using the matrix method. This problem reflects which value? |
Answer» Let us represent the situation through a matrix. We will make two matrices: Income and Expenditure Matrices. We know that Saving = Income – Expenditure. Let the incomes of Aryan and Babban be 3x and 4x respectively and the expenditures be 5y and 7y respectively. Income Matrix = \(\begin{bmatrix} 3x \\[0.3em] 4x\end{bmatrix}\) Expenditure Matrix = \(\begin{bmatrix} 5y \\[0.3em] 7y\end{bmatrix}\) Now, Saving = \(\begin{bmatrix} 3x \\[0.3em] 4x\end{bmatrix}\)- \(\begin{bmatrix} 5y \\[0.3em] 7y\end{bmatrix}\) Given : Saving = 15000 each Therefore, we have, \(\begin{bmatrix} 15000 \\[0.3em] 15000\end{bmatrix}\)= \(\begin{bmatrix} 3x \\[0.3em] 4x\end{bmatrix}\)- \(\begin{bmatrix} 5y \\[0.3em] 7y\end{bmatrix}\) So, 3 x – 5 y = 15000 ….(1) 4 x – 7 y = 15000 …..(2) Solving equations 1 and 2, we get, Multiplying eq(1) by 4 and eq(2) by 3 we get, 12 x – 20 y = 60000 ….(3) 12 x – 21 y = 45000 …..(4) Eq(3) – Eq(4), Y = 15000 Putting this value in eq(1) we get, 3 x – 4 × 15000 = 15000 X = 25000. There monthly incomes are, 3 x = 3 × 15000 = 45000 and 4 x = 4 × 15000 = 60000. |
