19. There are 2 families A and B. There are 4 men, 6 women and 2 children in family A, and 2
men, 2 women and 4 children in family B. The recommended daily amount of calories is
2400 for men, 1900 for women, 1800 for children and 45 grams of protein for men, 55
grams, for women and 33 grams for children. Represent the above information using
matrices. Using matrix multiplication, calculate the total requirement of calories and
proteins for each of the 2 families.
