(a) Two groups of workers have their drinks at a stall. The first group comprising ten workers
have five cups of tea, two cups of coffee and three glasses of fruit juice at a total cost of
RM11.80. The second group of six workers have three cups of tea a cup of coffee and two
glasses of fruit juice at a total cost of RM7.10.

The cost of a cup of tea and three glasses of fruit juice is the same as the cost of four cups
of coffee. If the cost of a cup of tea or coffee and a glass of fruit juice are RM x, RM y and
RM z respectively, obtain a matrix equation to represent the above information. Hence,
determine the cost of each drink. [7]
