Question 10

+1 markOne correct option

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 x1x_1 is the price of a shirt, x2x_2 is the price of a T-shirt and x3x_3 is the price of a pant. Then the above information forms a system of linear equations. If Ax=bAx = b is the matrix representation of the above system, where x=[x1x2x3]x = \begin{bmatrix} x_1 \\ x_2 \\ x_3 \end{bmatrix} is the vector that represents the price of a shirt, T-shirt and pant respectively, answer the given subquestions.
