Two schools A and B decided to award prizes to their students for three
games hockey (x), cricket (y) and tennis (z). School A decided to award a
total of ₹ 11,000 for the three games to 5,4 and 3 students respectively, while
school B decided to award ₹10,700 for the three games to 4,3 and 5 students
respectively. Also, the three prizes together amount to ₹ 2,700.
Using the information given above, answer the following:

(a) Represent the above situation using matrix equation.

(b) Find out the prize amount for hockey, cricket & tennis.
