The subscription department of a magazine sends out a letter to a large mailing list inviting subscriptions for the magazine. Some of the people receiving this letter
already subscribe to the magazine while others do not. From this mailing list, 60% of those who already subscribe will subscribe again while 25% of those who do
not now subscribe will subscribe. On the last letter it was found that 40% of those receiving it ordered a subscription. What percent of those receiving the current
letter can be expected to order a subscription? -
Two types of soaps A and B are in the market. Their present market shares are 15% for A and 85% for B. Of those who bought A the previous year, 65% continue to buy it again while 35% switch over to B. Of those who bought B the previous year, 55% buy it again and 45% switch over to A. Find their market shares after one year and when is the equilibrium reached?

In a market survey three commodities A, B and C were considered. In finding
out the index number some fixed weights were assigned to the three varieties in
each of the commodities. The table below provides the information regarding the
consumption of three commodities according to the three varieties and also the
total weight received by the commodityCommodity Variety Variety Total weight I II III A 1 2 3 11 B 2 4 5 21 C 3 5 6 27 Find the weights assigned to the three varieties by using Cramer’s Rule.

The subscription department of a magazine sends out a letter to a large mailing list
inviting subscriptions for the magazine. Some of the people receiving this letter
already subscribe to the magazine while others do not. From this mailing list, 45%
of those who already subscribe will subscribe again while 30% of those who do
not now subscribe will subscribe. On the last letter, it was found that 40% of those
receiving it ordered a subscription. What percent of those receiving the current
letter can be expected to order a subscription? -
Solve the following equation by using Cramer’s rule
2x + y −z = 3, x + y + z =1, x− 2y− 3z = 4 -
Two products A and B currently share the market with shares 50% and 50% each
respectively. Each week some brand switching takes place. Of those who bought A
the previous week, 60% buy it again whereas 40% switch over to B. Of those who
bought B the previous week, 80% buy it again where as 20% switch over to A. Find
their shares after one week and after two weeks. If the price war continues, when is
the equilibrium reached? -

A commodity was produced by using 3 units of labour and 2 units of capital, the
total cost is Rs 62. If the commodity had been produced by using 4 units of labour
and one unit of capital, the cost is Rs 56. What is the cost per unit of labour and
capital? (Use determinant method). -

A new transit system has just gone into operation in Chennai. Of those who use the
transit system this year, 30% will switch over to using metro train next year and 70%
will continue to use the transit system. Of those who use metro train this year, 70%
will continue to use metro train next year and 30% will switch over to the transit
system. Suppose the population of Chennai city remains constant and that 60% of
the commuters use the transit system and 40% of the commuters use metro train
this year.
