CO-1 TUTORIAL PROBLEMS
Tutorial-1
1. Determine rank of a matrix
2. A florist is making 5 identical bridesmaid bouquets for a wedding. She has $610 to
spend (including tax) and wants 24 flowers for each bouquet. Roses cost $6 each, tulips
cost $4 each, and lilies cost $3 each. She wants to have twice as many roses as the
other 2 flowers combined in each bouquet. Obtain the rank of the coefficient matrix of
the phenomena.
3. Rohan invests a total of $10,000 in three accounts, one paying 5% interest, another
paying 8% interest, and the third paying 9% interest. The annual interest earned on the
three investments last year was $770. The amount invested at 9% was twice the amount
invested at 5%. Determine the coefficient Matrix and determine the amount invested in
each account by Gauss-elimination Method.
4. Using Gauss elimination method, solve 2x – y + 3z = 9, x + y + z = 6, x – y + z = 2.
5. The cost of a ticket to the circus is $25.00 for children and $50.00 for adults. On a certain
day, attendance at the circus is 2,000 and the total gate revenue is $70,000. Use Gauss-
elimination method to determine number of children and adults bought tickets?
6. A DC circuit comprises three closed loops. Applying Kirchhoff’s laws to the closed
loops gives the following equations for current flow in milli amperes:
10I1 +I2 +I3 =12; 2I1 +10I2 +I3 =13; I1+I2 +5I3 = 7; Apply Gauss elimination method to
solve for I1, I2 and I3
7. An Industrial outlet can produce three types of cloths P, Q and R. Three different kinds
of wool are required for it, say red, green and blue wool. One unit of type ‘P’ cloth needs
2 yards of red wool, 8 yards of green and one yard of blue wool; one unit length of type
‘Q’ cloth needs one yard of red, 3 yards of green and 5 yards of blue wool; one unit
length of type ‘R’ cloth needs 3 yards red, 1 yard of green and three yards of blue wool.
The firm has only a stock of 6 yards red, 12 yards green and 9 yards of blue wool. Apply
LU Decomposition method to determine the number of units of cloth P, Q and R if total
stock is used.
