Step-by-Step Solution

The area of a triangle with vertices $(x_1, y_1), (x_2, y_2)$, and $(x_3, y_3)$ is given by: $A = \frac{1}{2} |\begin{matrix}x_{1}&y_{1}&1\\ x_{2}&y_{2}&1\\ x_{3}&y_{3}&1\end{matrix}|$ Therefore, $|\begin{matrix}x_{1}&y_{1}&1\\ x_{2}&y_{2}&1\\ x_{3}&y_{3}&1\end{matrix}| = \pm 2A$

Correct Answer: |\begin{matrix}x_{1}&y_{1}&1\\ x_{2}&y_{2}&1\\ x_{3}&y_{3}&1\end{matrix}|=\pm2A

Four friends Abhay, Bina, Chhaya and Devesh were asked to simplify \(4~AB+3(AB+BA)-4~BA,\) where A and B are both matrices of order \(2\times2\). It is known that \(A\ne B\ne I\) and \(A^{-1}\ne B\). Their answers are given as: Abhay: \(6 AB\), Bina : \(7 AB-BA\), Chhaya: \(8 AB\), Devesh: \(7 BA - AB\). Who answered it correctly?

A shopkeeper sells 50 Chemistry, 60 Physics and 35 Maths books on day I and sells 40 Chemistry, 45 Physics and 50 Maths books on day II. If the selling price for each such subject book is ₹150 (Chemistry), ₹175 (Physics) and ₹180 (Maths), then find his total sale in two days, using matrix method. If cost price of all the books together is ₹35,000, what profit did he earn after the sale of two days?

A furniture workshop produces three types of furniture chairs, tables and beds each day. On a particular day the total number of furniture pieces produced is 45. It was also found that production of beds exceeds that of chairs by 8, while the total production of beds and chairs together is twice the production of tables. Determine the units produced of each type of furniture, using matrix method.
