A chemist has a compound to be made using 3 basic elements X, Y, Z so that it has at least 10 litres of X, 12 litres of Y and 20 litres of Z. He makes this compound by mixing two compounds (I) and (II). Each unit compound (I) had 4 litres of X, 3 litres of Y. Each unit compound (II) had 1 litre of X, 2 litres of Y and 4 litres of Z. The unit costs of compounds (I) and (II) are ₹ 400 and ₹ 600 respectively. Find the number of units of each compound to be produced so as to minimize the cost
उत्तर
Let the chemist produce x units of compound I and y units of compound II.
Since x and y cannot be negative, x ≥ 0, y ≥ 0
The unit costs of compounds I and II are ₹ 400 and ₹ 600 respectively.
Total Cost = Z = 400x + 600y
We construct a table with constraints of X, Y and Z as follows:
| Compound I | Compound II | Least value | |
| X | 4 | 1 | 10 |
| Y | 3 | 2 | 12 |
| Z | – | 4 | 20 |
From the table, the constraints are
4x + y ≥ 10
3x + 2y ≥ 12
4y ≥ 20
∴ Given problem can be formulated as follows:
Minimize Z = 400x + 600y
Subject to 4x + y ≥ 10
3x + 2y ≥ 12
4y ≥ 20, x ≥ 0, y ≥ 0
To draw the feasible region, construct table as follows:
| Inequality | 4x + y ≥ 10 | 3x + 2y ≥ 12 | 4y ≥ 20 |
| Corresponding equation (of line) | 4x + y = 10 | 3x + 2y = 12 | 4y = 20 |
| Intersection of line with X-axis | `(5/2, 0)` | (4, 0) | – |
| Intersection of line with Y-axis | (0, 10) | (0, 6) | (0, 5) |
| Region | Non-Origin side | Non-Origin side | Non-Origin side |
Shaded portion EABY is the feasible region, whose vertices are A and B(0, 10).
A is the point of intersection of the lines 4y = 20 and 4x + y = 10,
Solving the above equations, we get
x = `5/4`, y = 5
∴ A ≡ `(5/4, 5)`
Here, the objective function is
Z = 400x + 600y
∴ Z at A`(5/4, 5) = 400(5/4) + 600(5)`
= 500 + 3000
= 3500
Z at B (0, 10) = 400(0) + 600(10)
= 6000
∴ Z has minimum value 3500 at x = `5/4` and y = 5.
∴ The chemist should produce `5/4` units of compound I and 5 units of compound II to minimize the cost.

A farmer has a 100 acre farm. He can sell the tomatoes, lettuce, or radishes he can raise. The price he can obtain is Rs 1 per kilogram for tomatoes, Rs 0.75 a head for lettuce and Rs 2 per kilogram for radishes. The average yield per acre is 2000 kgs for radishes, 3000 heads of lettuce and 1000 kilograms of radishes. Fertilizer is available at Rs 0.50 per kg and the amount required per acre is 100 kgs each for tomatoes and lettuce and 50 kilograms for radishes. Labour required for sowing, cultivating and harvesting per acre is 5 man-days for tomatoes and radishes and 6 man-days for lettuce. A total of 400 man-days of labour are available at Rs 20 per man-day. Formulate this problem as a LPP to maximize the farmer's total profit.
