A firm has to transport 1200 packages using large vans which can carry 200 packages each and small vans which can take 80 packages each. The cost for engaging each large van is Rs 400 and each small van is Rs 200. Not more than Rs 3000 is to be spent on the job and the number of large vans can not exceed the number of small vans. Formulate this problem as a LPP given that the objective is to minimise cost.
उत्तर
Let x and y be the number of large and small vans respectively.
From the given information, we construct the following corresponding constraints table:
| Items | Large vans (x) |
Small vans (y) |
Maximum /Minimum |
| Packages | 200 | 80 | 1200 |
| Cost | 400 | 200 | 3000 |
Now the objective function for minimum cost is Z = 400x + 200y
Subject to the constraints:
200x + 80y ≥ 1200 ⇒ 5x + 2y ≥ 30 ......(i)
400x + 200y ≤ 3000 ⇒ 2x + y ≤ 15 ......(ii)
x ≤ y ......(iii)
And x ≥ 0, y ≥ 0 ......(Non-negative constraints)
Hence, the required LPP is to minimise Z = 400x + 200y
Subject to the constraints 5x + 2y ≥ 30, 2x + y ≤ 15, x ≤ y and x ≥ 0, y ≥ 0.
