Solve the following problem :
A factory produced two types of chemicals A and B The following table gives the units of ingredients P & Q (per kg) of Chemicals A and B as well as minimum requirements of P and Q and also cost per kg. of chemicals A and B.
| Ingredients per kg. /Chemical Units | A (x) |
B (y) |
Minimum requirements in |
| P | 1 | 2 | 80 |
| Q | 3 | 1 | 75 |
| Cost (in ₹) | 4 | 6 |
Find the number of units of chemicals A and B should be produced so as to minimize the cost.
उत्तर
Let the factory produces ‘x’ units of chemical A and ‘y’ units of chemical B
∴ Total cost Z = 4x + 6y
This is the objective function to be minimized.
From the given information, the constraints are
x + 2y ≥ 80, 3x + y ≥ 75, x ≥ 0, y ≥ 0
∴ Given problem can be formulated as
Minimize Z = 4x + 6y
Subject to, x + 2y ≥ 80, 3x + y ≥ 75, x ≥ 0, y ≥ 0
To draw the feasible region, construct table as follows:
| Inequality | x + 2y ≥ 80 | 3x + y ≥ 75 |
| Corresponding equation (of line) | x + 2y = 80 | 3x + y = 75 |
| Intersection of line with X-axis | (80, 0) | (25, 0) |
| Intersection of line with Y-axis | (0, 40) | (0, 75) |
| Region | Non-origin side | Non-origin side |
Shaded portion XABCY is the feasible region,
whose vertices are A ≡ (80, 0), B and C ≡ (0, 75)
B is the point of intersection of the lines 3x + y = 75 and x + 2y = 80
Solving the above equations, we get
B ≡ (14, 33)
Here the objective function is,
Z = 4x + 6y
∴ Z at A(80, 0) = 4(80) + 6(0) = 320
Z at B(14, 33) = 4(14) + 6(33) = 254
Z at C(0, 75) = 4(0) + 6(75) = 450
∴ Z has minimum value 254 at B(14, 33)
∴ Z is mimimum, when x = 14, y = 33.
∴ Factory should produce 14 units of chemical A and 33 units of chemical B to minimize the cost to ₹ 254.

The postmaster of a local post office wishes to hire extra helpers during the Deepawali season, because of a large increase in the volume of mail handling and delivery. Because of the limited office space and the budgetary conditions, the number of temporary helpers must not exceed 10. According to past experience, a man can handle 300 letters and 80 packages per day, on the average, and a woman can handle 400 letters and 50 packets per day. The postmaster believes that the daily volume of extra mail and packages will be no less than 3400 and 680 respectively. A man receives Rs 225 a day and a woman receives Rs 200 a day. How many men and women helpers should be hired to keep the pay-roll at a minimum ? Formulate an LPP and solve it graphically.

Machines M1 and M2 have 2000 and 2500 machine minutes respectively. The firm must manufacture 100 A's, 200 B's and 50 C's but not more than 150 A's. Set up a LPP to maximize the profit.
Amit's mathematics teacher has given him three very long lists of problems with the instruction to submit not more than 100 of them (correctly solved) for credit. The problem in the first set are worth 5 points each, those in the second set are worth 4 points each, and those in the third set are worth 6 points each. Amit knows from experience that he requires on the average 3 minutes to solve a 5 point problem, 2 minutes to solve a 4 point problem, and 4 minutes to solve a 6 point problem. Because he has other subjects to worry about, he can not afford to devote more than
