Scheme B is for saving of newlywed girls from death due to dowry. Scheme C is planning for good health for senior citizen. Now twice the amount spent on Scheme B together with amount spent on Scheme A is ₹700 crores and three times the amount spent on Scheme A together with amount spent on Scheme B and Scheme C is ₹1200 crores. Find the amount spent on each scheme using matrices? What is the importance of saving girl child from the cruel parents who don’t want girl child and get the abortion before her birth?
