Question
Determine the minimum value of Z = 3x + 2y (if any), if the feasible region for an LPP is shown in Figue.
Solution
The feasible region (R) is unbounded. Therefore minimum of Z may or may not exist. If it exists, it will be at the corner point (Figure)
| Corner Point | Value of Z | |
| A,(12, 0) | 3(12) + 2(0) = 36 | |
| B(4, 2) | 3(4) + 2(2) = 16 | |
| C(1, 5) | 3(1) + 2(5) = 13 | ← (Smallest) |
| D(0, 10) | 3(0) + 2(10) = 20 |
Let us graph 3x + 2y < 13.
We see that the open half-plane determined by 3x + 2y < 13 and R do not have a common point.
So, the smallest value 13 is the minimum value of Z.

A firm manufactures two types of products A and B and sells them at a profit of Rs 2 on type A and Rs 3 on type B. Each product is processed on two machines M1 and M2. Type A requires one minute of processing time on M1 and two minutes of M2; type B requires one minute on M1 and one minute on M2. The machine M1 is available for not more than 6 hours 40 minutes while machine M2 is available for 10 hours during any working day. Formulate the problem as a LPP.
A rubber company is engaged in producing three types of tyres A, B and C. Each type requires processing in two plants, Plant I and Plant II. The capacities of the two plants, in number of tyres per day, are as follows:
| Plant | A | B | C |
| I | 50 | 100 | 100 |
| II | 60 | 60 | 200 |
The monthly demand for tyre A, B and C is 2500, 3000 and 7000 respectively. If plant I costs Rs 2500 per day, and plant II costs Rs 3500 per day to operate, how many days should each be run per month to minimize cost while meeting the demand? Formulate the problem as LPP.
A manufacturer can produce two products, A and B, during a given time period. Each of these products requires four different manufacturing operations: grinding, turning, assembling and testing. The manufacturing requirements in hours per unit of products A and B are given below.
| A | B | |
| Grinding | 1 | 2 |
| Turning | 3 | 1 |
| Assembling | 6 | 3 |
| Testing | 5 | 4 |
The available capacities of these operations in hours for the given time period are: grinding 30; turning 60, assembling 200; testing 200. The contribution to profit is Rs 20 for each unit of A and Rs 30 for each unit of B. The firm can sell all that it produces at the prevailing market price.
