Let $A = \begin{bmatrix} a & b \\ c & d \end{bmatrix}$ be a $2 \times 2$ real matrix with $\det(A) = 1$. If the equation $\det(A - \lambda I_2) = 0$ has imaginary roots (where $I_2$ is the identity matrix of order $2$), then:

The system of equations $4x + y + 2z = 5$, $x - 5y + 3z = 10$, and $9x - 3y + 7z = 20$ has

In a legislative assembly election,a political group hired a public relations firm to promote its candidate in three ways: telephone,house calls,and letters. The cost per contact (in paise) is given in matrix $A$ as $A = \begin{bmatrix} 40 \\ 100 \\ 50 \end{bmatrix} \begin{matrix} \text{Telephone} \\ \text{Housecall} \\ \text{Letter} \end{matrix}$. The number of contacts of each type made in two cities $X$ and $Y$ is given by $B = \begin{bmatrix} 1000 & 500 & 5000 \\ 3000 & 1000 & 10000 \end{bmatrix} \begin{matrix} \text{Telephone} & \text{Housecall} & \text{Letter} \\ \to X \\ \to Y \end{matrix}$. Find the total amount spent by the group in the two cities $X$ and $Y$.

Let $\lambda \in R$. The system of linear equations
$2x_{1} - 4x_{2} + \lambda x_{3} = 1$
$x_{1} - 6x_{2} + x_{3} = 2$
$\lambda x_{1} - 10x_{2} + 4x_{3} = 3$
is inconsistent for:

The bookshop of a particular school has $10$ dozen chemistry books,$8$ dozen physics books,and $10$ dozen economics books. Their selling prices are Rs. $80$,Rs. $60$,and Rs. $40$ each respectively. Find the total amount the bookshop will receive from selling all the books using matrix algebra.

Examine the consistency of the system of equations: $2x - y = 5$ and $x + y = 4$.
