Answer»

`|{:(a,,b,,c),(b,,c,,a),(c,,a,,b):}|`
`a+b+c`
`a^(2)+b^(2)+c^(2)`
`1`

Solution :The givensystemof equationswill havea non-trivialsolutions if THEDETERMINANT of coefficient is 0.
`DELTA= |{:(a-t,,b,,c),(b,,c-t,,a),(c,,a,,b-t):}|=0`
`Delta=0` is acubicequation in t, so ithas 3solutionssay `t_(1), t_(2)" and" t_(3)`
LET `Delta =p_(0)t_(3)+p_(1)t^(2) +p_(2)t+p_(3)`
Clearly ,Po= coeff . of `t^(3)` which isequalto -1 , so
`t_(1) t_(2)t_(3) =-(P_(3))/((-1))=P_(3)`
= constant TERM in the expansion of `Delta i.e, Delta _((t=0))`
hence `t_(1)t_(2)t_(3)= |{:(a,,b,,c),(b,,c,,a),(c,,a,,b):}|`

If p^(4)+q^(3)=2(p gt 0, q gt 0), then the maximum value of term independent of x in the expansion of (px^((1)/(12))+qx^(-(1)/(9)))^(14) is

Answer»

`"^(14)C_(4)`
`"^(14)C_(6)`
`"^(14)C_(7)`
`"^(14)C_(12)`

Solution :`(b)` `(px^((1)/(12))+QX^(-(1)/(9)))^(14)`
General term `T_(r+1)=14C_(r )(px^((1)/(12)))^(14-r)(qx^((-1)/(9)))^(r )`
`=^(14)C_(r )p^(14-r)q^(r )x^((14-r)/(12)-(r )/(9))`
Term is independent of `r`, then `(14-r)/(12)-(r )/(9)=0`
`:.r=6`
`:.` Term independent of `x` is `"^(14)C_(5)p^(8)q^(6)=^(14)C_(6)(p^(4)q^(3))^(2)`
Now `p^(4)`, `q^(3)` are positive
Using `AM ge GM`
`(p^(4)+q^(3))/(2) ge (p^(4)q^(3))^(1//2)implies(p^(4)q^(3))^(2) le 1`
`implies` Maximum value of term independent of `x` is `"^(14)C_(6)`.

A company manufacutres two types of sweaters type A and type B. It costs 360 to make type A sweater and 120 to make a type B sweater. The company can make atmost 300 sweater and spent atmost 72000 a day. The number of sweaters of type B cannot exceed the number of sweaters of type A by more than 100. The company makes a profit of 200 for each sweater of type A and 120 for every sweater of type B. Formulate this problem as a LPP to maximise the profit to the company.

Answer»


SOLUTION :Let the company MANUFACTURES x number of type A sweaters and y number of type B sweaters. From the given information we see that COST to make a type A SWEATER is 360 and cost to make type B sweater is 120.
Also, the company spend atmost 72000 a day
`therefore 360x+120 le 72000`
`Rightarrow 3x+y le 600...(i)`
Also, company can make atmost 300 sweaters.
`x+y le 300....(ii)`
Further, the number of sweaters of type B cannot exceed the number of sweater of type A by more than 100 i.e.
`x+100 ge y`
`Rightarrowx-y ge -100 ...(ii)`
Also, we have have non-negative constraints for x and y i.e. `x ge 0, x ge 0, y ge 0,....(iv)`
Hence, the company makes a profit fo 200 each sweater of type A and 120 for each sweater of type B i.e.
Profit (Z)=200x+120y
Thus, the required LPP to maximise profit is
Maximise Z=200x+120y is subjected to constraints.
`3x+y le 600`
`x+y ge300`
`x-y ge -100`
`x ge 0, y ge 0`
