35. 10 students were selected from a school on the basis of values for giving awards and were
divided into 3 groups. The first group comprises of hard workers, the second group has
honest and law abiding students and the third group contains vigilant and obedient
students. Double the number of students of the first group added to the number in the
second group gives 13, while the combined strength of first group and second group is four
times that of the third group. Using matrix method, find the number of students in each
group. Apart from the above values, suggest one more value which in your opinion, the
school should consider for awards.
36. The management committee of a residential colony decided to award some of its members
for honesty, some for helping others and some others for supervising its workers to keep
the colony neat and clean. The sum of the awardees is 12. Three times the sum of the
awardees for cooperation and supervision added to two times the number of awardees for
honesty is 33. If the sum of the number of awardees for honesty and supervision is twice
the number of awardees for helping others, using matrix method, find the number of
awardees of each category. Apart from these values namely honesty, cooperation and
supervision; suggest one more value which the management of the colony must include for
awards.
37. 10 students were selected from a school on the basis of values for giving awards and were
divided into three groups. The first group comprises of hard workers the second group has
honest and law abiding students. Double the number of students of the first group added to
the number in the second group gives 13, while the combined strength of first and second
group is four times that of the third group. Using matrix method, find the number of students
in each group. Using matrix method, find the number of students in each group. Apart from
the values, hard work, honesty and respect for law, vigilance and obedience, suggest one
more value, which the school should consider for awards.
38. Two schools P and Q want to award their selected students on the values of tolerance,
kindness and leadership. The school P wants to award Rs x each Rs y each and Rs z each
for three respective values to 3,2, and 1 students respectively with a total award money of
Rs 2,200. School Q wants to spend Rs 3,100 to award its 4, 1, 3 students on the
respective values. If the total amount of award for one prize on each value is Rs1,200,using
matrices, find the award money for each value. Apart from this suggest one more value
which should be considered for awards.
39. 10 students were selected from a school on the basis of values for giving awards and were
divided into three groups. The first group comprises hard workers, the second group has
honest and law abiding students and the third group contains vigilant and obedient
students. Double the number of students of the first group added to the number in the
second group gives 13, while the combined strength of first and second group is four times
that of the third group. Using matrix method, find the number of students in each group.
