Answer

Given the position vectors $2\hat{\text{i}}-3\hat{\text{j}}+4\hat{\text{k}}$ and $-4\hat{\text{i}}+6\hat{\text{j}}-8\hat{\text{k}}$Let $\vec{\text{a}}=2\hat{\text{i}}-3\hat{\text{j}}+4\hat{\text{k}}$ and $\vec{\text{b}}=-4\hat{\text{i}}+6\hat{\text{j}}-8\hat{\text{k}}$
Then,
$\vec{\text{b}}=-4\hat{\text{i}}+6\hat{\text{j}}-8\hat{\text{k}}$
$=-2\big(2\hat{\text{i}}-3\hat{\text{j}}+4\hat{\text{k}}\big)$
$=-2\vec{\text{a}}$
Hence, $\vec{\text{a}},\vec{\text{b}}$ are collinear.

A man owns a field of area 1000 sq.m. He wants to plant fruit trees in it. He has a sum of Rs. 1400 to purchase young trees. He has the choice of two types of trees. Type A requires 10 sq.m of ground per tree and costs Rs. 20 per tree and type B requires 20 sq.m of ground per tree and costs Rs. 25 per tree. When fully grown, type A produces an average of 20kg of fruit which can be sold at a profit of Rs. 2.00 per kg and type B produces an average of 40kg of fruit which can be sold at a profit of Rs. 1.50 per kg. How many of each type should be planted to achieve maximum profit when the trees are fully grown? What is the maximum profit?

A company manufactures two articles A and B. There are two departments through which these articles are processed: (i) assembly and (ii) finishing departments. The maximum capacity of the first department is 60 hours a week and that of other department is 48 hours per week. The product of each unit of article A requires 4 hours in assembly and 2 hours in finishing and that of each unit of B requires 2 hours in assembly and 4 hours in finishing. If the profit is Rs. 6 for each unit of A and Rs 8 for each unit of B, find the number of units of A and B to be produced per week in order to have maximum profit.
