66. The cost of 4 kg onion, 3 kg wheat and 2 kg rice is '60. The cost of 2 kg onion, 4 kg wheat and 6 kg rice is '90. The cost of 6 kg onion 2 kg wheat and 3 kg rice is '70. Find cost of each item per kg by matrix method.
Let k, y and z be the cost per kg of onion, wheat and rice. Then, we form a system of equations as follows
4k + 3y + 2z = 60
2k + 4y + 6z = 90
6k + 2y + 3z = 70
In matrix form we can write,
AX = B

= 0 - 3 (-30) + 2 (-20)
= 90 - 40
= 50 ≠ 0.
∴ The system has a unique solution.
