6. There are two families A and B. There are 4 men, 6 women and 2 children in family A,
and 2 men, 2 women and 4 children in family B. The recommend daily amount of
calories is 2400 for men, 1900 for women,1800 for children and 45 grams of protiens
for men, 55 grams foe women and 33 grams for children. Represent the above matrix
using matrix. Using matrix multiplication, calculate the total requirement of calories
and protiens for each of the two families. What awareness can you create among
people about the planned diet from this question?

 Case-Study Questions
19. In a city there are two factories A and B. Each factory produces sports clothes for boys
and girls. There are three types of clothes produced in both the factories, type I, II and
III. For boys the number of units of types I, II and III respectively are 80, 70 and 65 in
factory A and 85, 65 and 72 are in factory B. For girls the number of units of types I, II
and III respectively are 80, 75, 90 in factory A and 50, 55, 80 are in factory B.

Based on the above information, answer the following questions.

(i) If P represents the matrix of number of units of each type produced by factory A for
both boys and girls, then P is given by

(ii) If Q represents the matrix of number of units of each type produced by factory B for
both boys and girls, then Q is given by
