x + 2y + 3z = 8
3x + y – 4z = 1
word image 17517 41
= 2(-8 – 3) – (-1)(-4 – 9) + 1(1 – 6)
= 2(-11) + 1(-13) + 1(-5)
= -22 – 13 – 5
= -40 ≠ 0

word image 17517 42
= 1(-8 – 3) – (-1)(-32 – 3) + 1(8 – 2)
= 1(-11) + 1(-35) + 1(6)
= -11 – 35 + 6
= -40

word image 17517 43
= 2(-32 – 3) -1(-4 – 9) + 1(1 – 24)
= 2(-35) – 1(-13) + 1(-23)
= -70 + 13 – 23
= -80

word image 17517 44
= 2(2 – 8) – (-1)(1 – 24) + 1(1 – 6)
= 2(-6) + 1(-23) + 1(-5)
= -12 – 23 – 5
= -40
By Cramer’s Rule,
word image 17517 45
∴ x = 1, y = 2 and z = 1 are the solutions of the given equations.

word image 17517 46
= 2(18 – 0) -2(0 – 18) + 0
= 2(18) – 2(-18)
= 36 + 36
= 72 ≠ 0

word image 17517 47
= 3(18 – 0) – 2(15 – 24) + 0
= 3(18) – 2(-9)
= 54 + 18
= 72

word image 17517 48
= 2(15 – 24) – 3(0 – 18) + 0
= 2(-9) – 3(-18)
= -18 + 54
= 36

word image 17517 49
= 2(24 – 0) – 2(0 – 15) + 3(0 – 18)
= 2(24) – 2(-15) + 3(-18)
= 48 + 30 – 54

= 40 ≠ 0

word image 17517 52
= 5(4 + 1) – 3(8 – 3) + 3(4 + 6)
= 5(5) – 3(5) + 3(10)
= 25 – 15 + 30
= 40

word image 17517 53
= 2(8 – 3) – 5(-2 – 3) + 3(3 + 12)
= 2(5) – 5(-5) + 3(15)
= 10 + 25 + 45
= 80

word image 17517 54
= 2(-6 – 4) – 3(3 + 12) + 5(-1 + 6)
= 2(-10) – 3(15) + 5(5)
= -20 -45 + 25
= -40
By Cramer’s Rule,

= 4 ≠ 0

word image 17517 57
= 7(12 – 5) – (-1)(15 + 60) + 2(-5 – 48)
= 7(7) + 1(75) + 2(-53)
= 49 + 75 – 106
= 18

word image 17517 58
= 1(15 + 60) – 7(9 + 10) + 2(36 – 10)
= 1(75) – 7(19) + 2(26)
= 75 – 133 + 52
= -6

Question 15.
Show that the lines x – y = 6, 4x – 3y = 20 and 6x + 5y + 8 = 0 are concurrent. Also, find the point of concurrence.
Solution:

Given equations of the lines are
x – y = 6, i.e., x – y – 6 = 0 ……(i)
4x – 3y = 20, i.e., 4x – 3y – 20 = 0 …..(ii)
6x + 5y + 8 = 0 ……(iii)
The given lines will be concurrent, if
Maharashtra Board 11th Maths Solutions Chapter 4 Determinants and Matrices Miscellaneous Exercise 4(A) II Q15
= 1(-24 + 100) – (-1) (32 + 120) – 6(20 + 18)
= 1(76) + 1(152) – 6(38)
= 76 + 152 – 228
= 0
∴ The given lines are concurrent.
To find the point of concurrence, solve any two equations.
Multiplying (i) by 5, we get
5x – 5y – 30 = 0 …….(iv)
Adding (iii) and (iv), we get
11x – 22 = 0
∴ x = 2
Substituting x = 2 in (i), we get
2 – y – 6 = 0
∴ y = -4
∴ The point of concurrence is (2, -4).
