(b) There are three commodities X, Y and Z which are bought and sold by three
dealers P, Q and R. Dealer P purchases 2 units of X and 5 units of Z and sells
3 units of Y. Dealer Q purchases 5 units of X , 2 units of Y and sells 7 units
of Z and another dealer R purchases 3 units of Y , 1 unit of Z and sells
4 units of X.
In the process P earns RM 11 and R earns RM 5 but Q loses RM 12. If the
earning while purchasing equals the losing while selling for each respective
units, find the earning of each of the commodities X, Y and Z. [6 marks]
