Programm - Test Paper - Matrices

The document contains 4 questions involving matrix operations to solve optimization problems: 1) Finding material requirements and production costs for 3 products using 3 materials given production quantities and material costs 2) Calculating savings from purchasing items from local vs nearby market given travel costs and price differences 3) Determining number of each type of car that can be produced given steel requirements and available steel quantities 4) Determining production levels of 3 products given total production and relationships between individual product productions.

Q1- A firm produces three products A, B and C requiring the mix of three materials P, Q and R.

The
requirement (per unit) of each product for each material is as follows.

P Q R

A 2 3 1

M=
B

C
[ ]
4 2 5
2 4 2
Using matrix notations, find

(i). The total requirement of each material if the firm produces 100 units of each product.
(ii). The per unit cost of production of each product if the per unit cost of materials P, Q and R is
Rs 5, Rs 10 and Rs 5 respectively.
(iii). The total cost of production if the firm produces 200 units of each product.

Q2 - Mr. X went to a market to purchase 3 kg of sugar, 10 kg of wheat and 1 kg of salt. In a shop


near to Mr. X’s residence, these commodities are priced at Rs 20, Rs 10 and Rs 8 per kg whereas
in the local market these commodities are priced at Rs 15, Rs 8 and Rs 6 per kg respectively. If
the cost of traveling to local market is Rs 25, find the net savings of Mr. X, using matrix
multiplication method.
Q3 – An automobile company uses three types of steel s 1, s2 and s3 for producing three types of cars c 1,
c2 and c3. The steel requirement (in tons) for each type of car is given below:

Cars
c1 c2 c3

s1 2 3 4
Steel s2 1 1 2
s3 3 2 1

Determine the number of cars of each type which can be produced using 29, 13 and 16 tons of steel of
the three types respectively, using matrix inverse method.

Q4 – A company produces three products everyday. Their total production on a certain day is 45 tons. It
is found that the production of the third product exceeds the production of the first product by 8 tons
while the total combined production of the first and third product is twice that of the second product.
Determine the production level of each product using Cramer’s rule.
