- If \[ P = \begin{bmatrix} 1 & -1 & 0 \\ 2 & 3 & 4 \\ 0 & 1 & 2 \end{bmatrix} \quad \text{and} \quad Q = \begin{bmatrix} 2 & 2 & -4 \\ -4 & 2 & -4 \\ 1 & -1 & 5 \end{bmatrix} \] find \( QP \) and hence solve the following system of equations using matrix method:
\[ x - y = 3,\quad 2x + 3y + 4z = 13,\quad y + 2z = 7 \] - Following reaction takes place in one step :
\( 2A + B \rightarrow 2C \)
