Shivani, Sruthi and Smriti enjoyed shopping on a Sunday. Shivani bought 2 shirts, a T-shirt and 2 pants, whereas Sruthi bought a T-shirt and a pant and Smriti bought 2 shirts and a pant. They paid Rs. 600, Rs. 400 and Rs. 300 respectively. Suppose x1 is the price of a shirt, x2 is the price of a T-shirt and x3 is the price of a pant. Then the above information forms a system of linear equations. If Ax=b is the matrix representation of the above system, where x=x1x2x3 is the vector that represents the price of a shirt, T-shirt and pant respectively, answer the given subquestions.
