Two schools A and B want to award their selected students on the values of Honesty, Hard work and Punctuality. The school A wants to award Rs. x each, Rs. y each and Rs.z each for the three respective values to its 3, 2 and 1 students respectivefy with a total award money of Rs. 2200. School B wants to spend Rs. 3100 to award its 4, 1 and 3 students on the respective values (by giving the same award money to the three values as school A). The total amount of award for one prize on each value is Rs. 1200.

Three shopkeepers Salim, Vijay and Venket are using polythene bags, handmade bags (prepared by prisoners) and newspaper's envelope as carry bags. It is found that the shopkeepers Salim, Vijay and Venket are using (20, 30, 40), (30, 40, 20) and (40, 20, 30) polythene bags, handmade bags and newspaper's envelopes respectively. The shopkeepers Salim, Vijay and Venket spent Rs. 250, Rs. 270 and Rs. 200 on these carry bags respectively.

Using the concept of matrices and determinants, answer the following questions.
(i) What is the cost of one polythene bag?

(ii) What is the cost of one handmade bag?

(iii) What is the cost of one newspaper envelope

(iv) Keeping in mind the social conditions, which shopkeeper is better?

Minor of an element aij of a determinant is the determinant obtained by deleting its ith row and /h column in a_ij lies and is denoted by M_ij.
Cofactor of an element a_ij'denoted by A_ij,is defined by \(\begin{equation} A_{i j}=(-1)^{i+j} M_{i j} \end{equation}\), where M_ij is minor of a_ij.
Also, the determinant of a square matrix A is the sum of the products of the elements of any row (or column with their corresponding cofactors.
For example if \(\begin{equation} A=\left[a_{i j}\right]_{3 \times 3}, \text { then }|A|=a_{11} A_{11}+a_{12} A_{12}+a_{13} A_{13} \end{equation}\) .
Based on the above information, answer the following questions
(i) Find the sum of the cofactors of all the elements of \(\begin{equation} \left|\begin{array}{cc} 1 & -2 \\ 4 & 3 \end{array}\right| \end{equation}\) 

(ii) Find the minor of a₂₁ of \(\begin{equation} \left|\begin{array}{ccc} 5 & 6 & -3 \\ -4 & 3 & 2 \\ -4 & -7 & 3 \end{array}\right| \end{equation}\) 

(iii) In the determinant \(\begin{equation} \left|\begin{array}{ccc} 2 & -3 & 5 \\ 6 & 0 & 4 \\ 1 & 5 & -7 \end{array}\right| \end{equation}\) find the value of a₃₂·A₃₂

(iv) If \(\begin{equation} \Delta=\left|\begin{array}{lll} 5 & 3 & 8 \\ 2 & 0 & 1 \\ 1 & 2 & 3 \end{array}\right| \end{equation}\), find the value of a₃₂·A₃₂ .

(v) If \(\begin{equation} \Delta=\left|\begin{array}{ccc} 2 & -3 & 5 \\ 6 & 0 & 4 \\ 1 & 5 & -7 \end{array}\right| \end{equation}\), then find the value of \(\begin{equation} |\Delta| \end{equation}\).
