Answer :
Given: Monthly incomes and monthly expenditures of Aryan and Babban are in the ratio 3:4 and 5:7 respectively.
To find: Their monthly incomes using the matrix method
Let the income of Aryan and Babban be 3x and 4x, and their expenditures are 5y and 7y
Income – Expenditure = Saving
Therefore,
3x – 5y = 15000
4x – 7y = 15000
To solve this equation and get values of x, y, we have:
AX = B where,
Now, check whether the system has a unique solution or not:
= 3 × -7 – 4 × (-5)
= -21 + 20
= -1
Since,
The system of the equation is consistent and have a unique solution
AX = B
⇒ X = A-1 B
Formula used:
Thus,
X = A-1 B
Solutions of the equations are x = 30000, y = 15000
The income of Aryan is 3x = 3 × 30000 = Rs. 90000
The income of Babban is 4x = 4 × 30000 = Rs. 120000
