Let $[\lambda]$ be the greatest integer less than or equal to $\lambda$. The set of all values of $\lambda$ for which the system of linear equations $x+y+z=4$,$3x+2y+5z=3$,$9x+4y+(28+[\lambda])z=[\lambda]$ has a solution is:

If the system of equations $3x - 2y + z = 0$, $\lambda x - 14y + 15z = 0$, and $x + 2y - 3z = 0$ has a solution other than $x = y = z = 0$, then $\lambda = $

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 $Y$.
