प्रश्न

A company sells two different products, A and B. The two products are produced in a common production process, which has a total capacity of 500 man-hours. It takes 5 hours to produce a unit of A and 3 hours to produce a unit of B. The market has been surveyed and company officials feel that the maximum number of unit of A that can be sold is 70 and that for B is 125. If the profit is Rs 20 per unit for the product A and Rs 15 per unit for the product B, how many units of each product should be sold to maximize profit?

उत्तर

Let units of product A and units of product B were manufactured.
Clearly, \[x \geq 0, y \geq 0\]

It takes 5 hours to produce a unit of A and 3 hours to produce a unit of B.The two products are produced in a common production process, which has a total capacity of 500 man-hours.

\[5x + 3y \leq 500\]

The maximum number of unit of A that can be sold is 70 and that for B is 125.

\[x \leq 70\]
\[y \leq 125\]

If the profit is Rs 20 per unit for the product A and Rs 15 per unit for the product B. Therefore, profit units of product A and units of product B  is Rs 20x and Rs 15y respectively.

Total profit  = Z = \[20x + 15y\]

The mathematical formulation of the given problem is 

Max Z = \[20x + 15y\] 

subject to

\[5x + 3y \leq 500\]

\[x \leq 70\]

\[y \leq 125\]

\[x \geq 0, y \geq 0\]

First we will convert inequations into equations as follows:
5x + 3y = 500, x = 70, y = 125, x = 0 and y = 0

Region represented by 5x + 3y ≤ 500:
The line 5x + 3y = 500 meets the coordinate axes at A1(100, 0) and \[B_1 \left( 0, \frac{500}{3} \right)\] respectively. By joining these points we obtain the line 5x + 3y = 500. Clearly (0,0) satisfies the 5x + 3y = 500. So, the region which contains the origin represents the solution set of the inequation 5x + 3y ≤ 500.
Region represented by x ​ ≤ 70:
The line ​x = 70 is the line passes through C1(70, 0) and is parallel to Y axis. The region to the left of the line x = 70 will satisfy the inequation x ​ ≤ 70.
Region represented by y ​ ≤ 125:
The line ​y = 125 is the line passes through D1(0, 125) and is parallel to X axis. The region below the  the line y = 125 will satisfy the inequation y ​ ≤ 125.
Region represented by ≥ 0 and y ≥ 0:
Since, every point in the first quadrant satisfies these inequations. So, the first quadrant is the region represented by the inequations x ≥ 0, and y ≥ 0.
The feasible region determined by the system of constraints 5x + 3y ≤ 500, x ​ ≤ 70, y ​ ≤ 125, x ≥ 0 and y ≥ 0 are as follows.

The corner points are  O(0, 0), D1 \[\left( 0, 125 \right)\] , E1(25, 125), F1(70, 50) and C1(70, 0).The values of Z at the corner points are 

Corner points Z = \[20x + 15y\]
O 0
D1 1875
E1 2375
F1 2150
C1 1400
 
The maximum value of Z is 2375 which is at E1
\[\left( 25, 125 \right)\] .
Thus, maximum profit is Rs 2375, 25 units of A and 125 units of B should be manufactured.

A cooperative society of farmers has 50 hectares of land to grow two crops A and B. The profits from crops A and B per hectare are estimated as Rs 10,500 and Rs 9,000 respectively. To control weeds, a liquid herbicide has to be used for crops A and B at the rate of 20 litres and 10 litres per hectare, respectively. Further not more than 800 litres of herbicide should be used in order to protect fish and wildlife using a pond which collects drainage from this land. Keeping in mind that the protection of fish and other wildlife is more important than earning profit, how much land should be allocated to each crop so as to maximize the total profit? Form an LPP from the above and solve it graphically. Do you agree with the message that the protection of wildlife is utmost necessary to preserve the balance in environment?
