Q.16(i) An amount of Rs 10,000 is put into three investments at the rate of 10,12 and 15% per
annum. The combined income is Rs 1310 and the combined income of first and second
investment is Rs 190 short of the income from the third. Find the investment in each using
matrix method.
ANS: Rs 2000, Rs 3000, Rs 5000

 (ii) The prices of three commodities P, Q and R are Rs x, y and z per unit respective. A purchases
4 units of R and sells 3 units of P and 5 units of Q. B purchases 3 units of Q and sells 2 units
of P and 1 unit of R. C purchases 1 unit of P and sells 4 units of Q and 6 units of R. In the
process A, B and C earn Rs 6000, Rs 5000 and Rs 13000 respectively. If selling the units is
positive earning and buying the units is negative earnings, find the price per unit of three
commodities by using matrix method.
