Question
$\triangle=\begin{vmatrix}\cos\alpha\cos\beta&\cos\alpha\sin\beta&-\sin\alpha\\-\sin\beta&\cos\beta&0\\\sin\alpha\cos\beta&\sin\alpha\sin\beta&\cos\alpha \end{vmatrix}$

Answer

Given,
$\triangle=\begin{vmatrix}\cos\alpha\cos\beta&\cos\alpha\sin\beta&-\sin\alpha\\-\sin\beta&\cos\beta&0\\\sin\alpha\cos\beta&\sin\alpha\sin\beta&\cos\alpha \end{vmatrix}$
$\Rightarrow\triangle=(-1)^{1+1}\cos\alpha\cos\beta(\cos\alpha\cos\beta-0)\\+(-1)^{1+2}\cos\alpha\sin\beta(-\sin\beta\cos\alpha-0)\\+(-1)^{1+3}(-\sin\alpha)(-\sin^2\beta\sin\alpha-\sin\alpha\cos^2\beta)$ [Expanding along R1]
$=\cos\alpha\cos\beta(\cos\alpha\cos\beta-0)-\cos\alpha\sin\beta(-\sin\beta\cos\alpha-0)\\-\sin\alpha(\sin^2\beta\sin\alpha-\sin\alpha-\sin\alpha\cos^2\beta)$
$=\cos^2\alpha\cos^2\beta+\cos^2\alpha\sin^2\beta+\sin^2\alpha\sin^2\beta+\sin^2\alpha\cos^2\beta$
$=\cos^2\alpha(\cos^2\beta+\sin^\beta)+\sin^2\alpha(\sin^2\beta+\cos^2\beta)$
$\Rightarrow\triangle=\cos^2\alpha+\sin^2\alpha$ $\big[\because\sin^2\theta+\cos^2\theta=1\big]$
$\Rightarrow\triangle=1$

A company sells two different products, A and B. The two products are produced in a common production process, which has a total capacity of 500 man-hours. It takes 5 hours to produce a unit of A and 3 hours to produce a unit of B. The market has been surveyed and company officials feel that the maximum number of unit of A that can be sold is 70 and that for B is 125. If the profit is Rs. 20 per unit for the product A and Rs. 15 per unit for the product B, how many units of each product should be sold to maximize profit?
