Q.3 Using matrix method, determine whether the following system of equations is consistent or
inconsistent:
(i) 5x – y + 4z = 5 (ii) 3x – y – 2z = 2
2x + 3y + 5z = 2 2y – z = -1
5x – 2y + 6z = -1 3x – 5y = 3.
Q.5 The sum of three numbers is -1. If we multiply the second number by 2, third number by 3 and
add them we get 5. If we subtract the third number from the sum of first and second numbers, we
get -1. Represent it by a system of equations. Find the number using inverse of a matrix.
