Which of the following matrix equation is represented by the given information in the case study?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
Let length = x
let breadth = y
from question $(x-50)(y+50)=xy$
so $xy-50x+50y-2500=xy$
$x-y=50$ ....(1)
$(x-10)(y-20)=xy-5300$
$⇒xy-20x-10y+200=xy-5300$
$2x+y=550$ ...(2)
eq. (2) + eq. (1)
$⇒3x=600⇒x=200m$
so from (1) $y = 150m$
$x-y=50$ ....(1)
$2x+y=550$ ...(2)
Matrix representation $\begin{bmatrix}1&-1\\2&1\end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix}x\\y\end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}50\\550\end{bmatrix}$
