The management committee of a residential colony decided to award some of its members (say x) for honesty,some (say y) for helping others and some others (say z) for supervising the workers to keep the colony neat and clean . The sum of all the awardees is 12. Three times the sum of awardees for cooperation and supervision added in two times the number of awardees for honesty is 33. If the sum of the number of awardees for honesty and supervision is twice the number of awardees for helping others, using matrix method, find the number of awardees of each category. Apart from these values, namely, honesty, cooperation and supervision, suggest one more value which the management of the colony must include for awards.

A manufacturer considers that man and women workers are equally efficient and so he pays them at the same rate.He has 30 and 17 units of workers(male and female) and capital respectively,which he uses to produce two types of goods A and B.To produce 1 unit of A,2 workers and 3 units of capital are required while 3 workers and 1 unit of capital is required to produce 1 unit of B.If A and B are priced at Rs100 and 120 per unit respectively,how should he use his resources to maximize the total revenue?Form the above as an LPP and solve graphically.Do you agree with this view of the manufacturer that men and women workers are equally efficient and so should be paid at the same rate?
