pens of ‘B’ variety and 2 pens of ‘C’ variety for ` 60. While Shikha purchased 6
pens of ‘A’ variety, 2 pens of ‘B’ variety and 3 pens of ‘C ’ variety for ` 70.
Using matrix method, nd cost of each variety of pen. (AI 2016)

23. Two schools P and Q want to award their selected students on the values of
discipline, politeness and punctuality. e school P wants to award ` x each, ` y
each and ` z each for the three respective values to its 3, 2 and 1 students with a
total award money of ` 1,000. School Q wants to spend ` 1,500 to award its 4, 1
and 3 students on the respective values (by giving the same award money for
the three values as before). If the total amount of awards for one prize on each
value is ` 600, using matrices, nd the award money for each value. Apart from
the above three values, suggest one more value for awards. (Delhi 2014)

24. Two schools A and B want to award their selected students on the values of
sincerity, truthfulness and helpfulness. e school A wants to award ` x each, ` y
each and ` z each for the three respective values to 3, 2 and 1 students
respectively with a total award money of ` 1,600. School B wants to spend `
2,300 to award its, 4, 1 and 3 students on the respective values (by giving the
same award money to the three values as before). If the total amount of award
for one prize on each value is ` 900, using matrices, and the award money for
each value. Apart from these three values, suggest one more value which should
be considered for award. (AI 2014)

25.. Two schools P and Q want to award their selected students on the values of
tolerance, kindness and leadership. e school P wants to award ` x each, ` y each
and ` z each for the three respective values to its 3, 2 and 1 students respectively
with a total award money of ` 2200. School Q wants to spend ` 3100 to award
its 4, 1 and 3 students on the respective values (by giving the same award
money for the three values as school P). If the total amount of award for one
prize on each value is ` 1200, using matrices, nd the award money for each
value. Apart from the above these three values, suggest one more value which
should be considered for award. (Foreign 2014)

26.. A total amount of ` 7,000 is deposited in three di erent savings bank

accounts with annual interest rates of 5%, 8% and 8 1 2% respectively. e total
annual interest from these three accounts is ` 550. Equal amounts have been
deposited in the 5% and 8% savings accounts. Find the amount deposited in
each of the three accounts, with the help of matrices. (Delhi 2014C)

27. Two schools, P and Q, want to award their selected students for the values
of sincerity, truthfulness and hard work at the rate of ` x, ` y and ` z for each
respective value per student. School P awards its 2, 3 and 4 students on the
above respective values with a total prize money of ` 4,600. School Q wants to
award its 3, 2 and 3 students on the respective values with a total award money
of ` 4,100. If the total amount of award money for one prize on each value is `
1,500, using matrices nd the award money for each value. Suggest one other
value which the school can consider for awarding the students. (AI 2014C)

28.. A school wants to award its students for the value of honesty, regularity and
hard work with a total cash award of ` 6,000. ree times the award money for
hard work added to that given for honesty amounts to ` 11,000. e award money
given for honesty and hard work together is double the one given for regularity.
Represent the above situation algebraically and nd the award money for each
value, using matrix method. Apart from these values, namely, honesty,
regularity and hard work, suggest one more value which the school must
include for awards.
