truthfulness and helpfulness. The school A
wants to award Rs. x each, Rs. y each and Rs. z
each for the three respective values to 3,2 and
1 students respectively with a total award
money of Rs. 1,600. School B wants to spend

value is Rs. 900, using matrices, find the
award money for each value. Apard from these
three values, suggest one more value which
