3. If three numbers are added, their sum is ‘2’. If 2 times the second number is subtracted (4M)
from the sum of first and third number we get ‘8’ and if three times the first number is
added to the sum of second and third number we get ‘4’. Find the numbers using matrices.

10. A doctor has prescribed two different units of foods A and B to form a weekly diet for a sick
person. The minimum requirements of fats, carbohydrates and proteins are 18, 28, 14 units
respectively. One unit of food A has 4 units of fats. 14 units of carbohydrates and 8 units of
protein. One unit of food B has 6 units of fat, 12 units of carbohydrates and 8 units of protein.
The price of food A is 4.5 per unit and that of food B is 3.5 per unit. Form the L.P.P. so that
the sick person's diet meets the requirements at a minimum cost. (2M)
