Case study1:
Q1. A car carrier trailer, also known as a car-carrying trailer, car hauler, or auto transport trailer, is a
type of trailer or semi-trailer designed to efficiently transport passenger vehicles via truck.
Commercial-size car carrying trailers are commonly used to ship new cars from the manufacturer to auto
dealerships. Modern car carrier trailers can be open or enclosed. Most commercial trailers have built-in
ramps for loading and off-loading cars, as well as power hydraulics to raise and lower ramps for stand-
alone accessibility.
A transport company uses three types of trucks T1,T2 and T3 to transport three types of vehicles V1,V2
and V3 . The capacity of each truck in terms of three types of vehicles is given below:
VV V
1 2 3
T 1 3 2
1
T 2 2 3
2
T 3 2 2
3
Using matrix method find:
a) The number of trucks of each type required to transport 85, 105 and 110 vehicles of
V1,V2 and V3 types respectively.
b) Find the number of vehicles of each type which can be transported if company has 10,
20 and 30 trucks of each type respectively.
Q2. Cross holding, also referred to as cross shareholding, describes a situation where one publicly-
traded company holds a significant number of shares of another publicly-traded company. The shares
owned of the second publicly- traded company are referred to as a cross-holding of the first
company.
16
Two companies A and B are holding shares in each other. A is holding 20% shares of B and B is
holding 10% shares. of A. The separately earned profits of the two companies are ` 98000 and ` 49000
respectively.
a) Find total profit of each company using matrix notations.
b) Show that the total of the profits allocated to outside shareholders is equal to the total
of separately earned profit.
2. Assertion (A):
1 2 −1
If A = [ 2 0 3 ] , then A−1is symmetric matrix.
−1 3 4
Reason(R): If A is symmetric matrix then A-1 is symmetric matrix
