Question:15

A man rides his motorcycle at the speed of 50 km/hour. He has to spend Rs 2per km on petrol. If he rides it at a faster speed of 80 km/hour, the petrol cost increases to Rs 3 per km. He has at most Rs 120 to spend on petrol and one hour’s time. He wishes to find the maximum distance that he can travel. Express this problem as a linear programming problem.

Corner Points are O(0,0), A(0,5) , B(6,3), C(9.3,1.3) and D(10,0)
Now we will substitute these values in Z at each of these corner points, we get

So from the above table the maximum value of Z is at point (9.3,1.3), but as the manufacturer is required to produce two type of circuits, so the parts of resistors, transistors and capacitors cannot be decimals. So we will consider the next maximum number.
Hence, the maximum value of Z is 480 at the point (6,3) i.e., the manufacturer should produce 6 circuits of type A and 3 circuits of type B so as to maximize his profit.

Question:17

We obtain the following equation

The region that represents x+4y≤ 1800:
We can say that the line meets the coordinate axes (1800,0) and (0,450) respectively. When we join these points, we get the desired line that is . We can say that it is clear that it satisfies the inequation and therefore the region that contains the origin further represents the set of solutions of the inequation.
The region represented by :
The line further meets the axes (1200,0) and (0,1800) respectively. After joining these points, we get the result that is . It is then clear that it satisfies the inequation . So the region that contains the origin represents the solution set of the inequation .
The graph is given below:


The shaded region OBCD is the feasible region is bounded, so, maximum value will occur at a corner point of the feasible region.
Corner Points are O(0,0), B(0,450), C(1080,180) and D(1200,0)

If we have to maximize the profit, i.e., maximize Z=200x+120y
The subject to constraints is:
The company spends at most Rs 72000 a day
.
Divide throughout by 120, we get

Also, company can make at most 300 sweaters.:
Also, the number of sweaters of type $B$ cannot exceed the number of sweaters of type A by more than 100
i.e.,

So, when we convert the inequalities into the equation we get the following answer:


We can say that the line 3x+y=600 meets the coordinate axes (200,0) and (0,600) respectively. Once the points are joined, we get the answer that is 3x+y=600. It is justified that 3x+y≤ 600. So the region that contain the origin represents the solution set of the inequation 3x+y≤ 600
The region represented by x+y≤ 300:
The line when it meets the coordinate axes respectively that is y= 100+x meets (-100,0) and (0,100) respectively and when the lines are joined we get the line y= 100+x. Then it is clarified that it satisfies the inequation. Therefore, the region contains the origin that represents the solution of sets of inequation.

And if he rides his motorcycle for a distance of y km at a speed of 80 km/hr then he has to spend Rs. 3/km on petrol.
He has Rs.120 to spend on petrol for covering the total distance so the constraint becomes
2x+3y≤120…………(i)
Given that he has only one hour’s time to cover the total distance, then the constraint becomes
{as distance speed x time}
Now taking the LCM as 400, we get

When we convert it into equation we get

The region that is represented by 2x+3y≤120:
The line that is 2x+3y=120 further meets the coordinate axes (60,0) and (0,40) respectively and then when we will join these points we obtain the line 2x+3y=120. It is clear that (0,0) justifies the inequation 2x+3y≤120. So the region that contain the origin represents the solution set of the inequation 2x+3y≤120
The region represented by 8x+5y≤400:
We can see that the line 8x+5y=400 meets the coordinate axes (50,0) and (0,80) respectively. When we join these points we obtain the line 8x+5y=400.

Question:22

A manufacturer produces two Models of bikes - Model X and Model Y. Model X takes 6 man-hours to make per unit, while Model Y takes 10 man-hours per unit. There is a total of 450 man-hours available per week. Handling and Marketing costs are Rs 2000 and Rs 1000 per unit for Models X and Y respectively. The total funds available for these purposes are Rs 80,000 per week. Profits per unit for Models X and Y are Rs 1000 and Rs 500, respectively. How many bikes of each model should the manufacturer produce so as to yield a maximum profit? Find the maximum profit.

Answer:

Let us say that the number of bikes per week of model X and Y are x and y respectively.
Assuming that model X takes 6 man-hours.
So, time taken by x bikes of model X = 6x hours.
Assuming that model Y takes 10 man-hours.
So, time taken by y bikes of model X = 10y hours.
So, the total man-hour that is available per week = 450
So, 6x + 10y ≤ 450
3x + 5y ≤ 225
The handling and the marketing cost of model X and Y is Rs 2000 and Rs 1000 per unit respectively.
So, total handling and marketing cost of x units of model X and y units of model y is 2000x + 1000y
The maximum amount that is available for handling and marketing per week is Rs 80000.
So,

Profits per unit for Models X and Y are Rs 1000 and Rs 500, Respectively.
Let total profit = Z
So,
Also, as units will be positive numbers so x, y ≥ 0
So, we have,

Total iron content from x and y tablets = 6x + 2y
Minimum of 18 mg of iron is required. So, we have

Similarly, calcium content in X and Y tablets is 3 mg each respectively.
So, total calcium content from x and y tablets = 3x + 3y
Minimum of 21 mg of calcium is required. So, we have

Also, vitamin content in X and Y tablet is 2 mg and 4 mg respectively.
So, total vitamin content from x and y tablets = 2x + 4y
Minimum of 16 mg of vitamin is required. So, we have

Also, as number of tablets should be non-negative so, we have,
x, y ≥ 0
Cost of each tablet of X and Y is Rs 2 and Re 1 respectively.
Let total cost = Z
So, Z = 2x + y
Finally, we have,

Now let us convert the given inequalities into equation.
We obtain the following equation

The region that is representing 3x + y ≥ 9 is the line 3x + y = 9 meets the coordinate axes (3,0) and (0,9) respectively. Once the points are joined, the lines are obtained 3x + y = 9. It does not satisfy the inequation and so the region that contains the origin then represents the solution set of the inequation 3x + y ≥ 9.
The region that is representing x + y ≥ 7 is the line x + y = 7 meets the coordinate axes (7,0) and (0,7) respectively. Once the points are joined, the lines are obtained v It does not satisfy the inequation and so the region that contains the origin then represents the solution set of the inequation x + y ≥ 7.
The region representing x + 2y ≥ 8 is the line x + 2y = 8 meets the coordinate axes (8,0) and (0,4) respectively. We will join these points to obtain the line x + 2y = 8. It is clear that (0,0) does not satisfy the inequation x + 2y ≥ 8. So, the region not containing the origin represents the solution set of the inequation x + 2y ≥ 8.
The regions that represent x≥0 and y≥0 is first quadrant, since every point in the first quadrant satisfies these inequations.
Given below is the graph:

Clearly, intersects feasible region only at B.
So, does not have any point inside feasible region.
So, value of Z is minimum at B(1,6), the minimum value is 8 .

Question:24

A company makes 3 model of calculators: A, B and C at factory I and factory II. The company has orders for at least 6400 calculators of model A, 4000 calculator of model B and 4800 calculator of model C. At factory I, 50 calculators of model A, 50 of model B and 30 of model C are made every day; at factory II, 40 calculators of model A, 20 of model B and 40 of model C are made every day. It costs Rs 12000 and Rs 15000 each day to operate factory I and II, respectively. Find the number of days each factory should operate to minimise the operating costs and still meet the demand.

Answer:

Taking into consideration that Let number of days for which factory I operate be x and number of days for which factory II operates be y.
Number of calculators made by factory I and II of model A are 50 and 40 respectively.
Minimum number of calculators of model A required = 6400
So, 50x + 40y ≥ 6400
⇒ 5x + 4y ≥ 640
Number of calculators made by factory I and II of model B are 50 and 20 respectively.
Minimum number of calculators of model B required = 4000
So, 50x + 20y ≥ 4000
⇒ 5x + 2y ≥ 400
Number of calculators made by factory I and II of model C are 30 and 40 respectively.
Minimum number of calculators of model C requires = 4800
So,

Operating costs is Rs 12000 and Rs 15000 each day to operate factory I and II respectively.
Let Z be total operating cost so we have Z = 12000x + 15000y
Also, number of days are non-negative so, x, y ≥ 0
So, we have,
Constraints,

We need to minimize Z, subject to the given constraints.
Now let us convert the given inequalities into equation.
We obtain the following equation

The region that represents the 5x + 4y ≥ 640.
The line 5x + 4y = 640 meets the coordinate axes (128,0) and (0,160) respectively to get the final outcome. When we join these points to obtain the line 5x + 4y = 640. It is then clear that (0,0) does not satisfy the inequation 5x + 4y ≥ 640. So, the region not containing the origin represents the solution set of the inequation 5x + 4y ≥ 640.
The region that represents the 5x + 2y ≥ 400:
The line 5x + 2y = 400 meets the coordinate axes (80,0) and (0,200) respectively. We will join these points to obtain the line 5x + 2y = 400. It is justified that (0,0) does not satisfy the inequation 5x + 2y ≥ 400. So, the region not containing the origin represents the solution set of the inequation 5x + 2y ≥ 400.
The region represented by 3x + 4y ≥ 480:
The line that 3x + 4y = 480 when meets the coordinate axes (160,0) and (0,120) respectively. We will then try and join these points to obtain the line 3x + 4y = 480. It is clear that (0,0) does not justify the inequation 3x + 4y ≥ 480. So, the region not containing the origin represents the solution set of the inequation 3x + 4y ≥ 480.
The graph is:

The region towards the right of ABCD is the feasible region. It is unbounded in this case.
The value of Z at the corner points, is

Now, we plot to check if resulting open half has any point common with feasible region.
The region represented by
The line meets the coordinate axes (155,0) and (0,124) respectively. We will join these points to obtain the line $. It is clear that (0,0) satisfies the inequation . So, the region containing the origin represents the solution set of the inequation .

Clearly, intersects feasible region only at C
So, value of Z is minimum at C(80,60), the minimum value is 1860000 .
So, number of days factory 1 is required to operate is 80 and number of days factory 2 should operate is 60 to minimize the cost.

The further explanation of the same is given below:
The region represented by x – 2y ≤ 0:
The line x - 2y = 0 meets the coordinate axes at origin and slope of the line is . We will construct a line passing through origin and whose slope is . As point (1,1) satisfies the inequality. So, the side of the line which contains (1,1) is feasible. Hence, the solution set of the inequation x – 2y ≤ 0 is the side which contains (1,1).
The region represented by – 3x + y ≤ 4:
The line – 3x + y = 4 meets the coordinate axes and (0,4) respectively. We will join these points to obtain the line -3x + y = 4. It is clear that (0,0) satisfies the inequation – 3x + y ≤ 4. So, the region containing the origin represents the solution set of the inequation – 3x + y ≤ 4.
The region represented by x – y ≤ 6:
The line x – y = 6 then meets the coordinate axes (6,0) and (0,-6) respectively. We will join these points to obtain the line x – y = 6. It is clear that (0,0) satisfies the inequation x – y ≤ 6. So, the region containing the origin represents the solution set of the inequation x – y ≤ 6.
The graph for the same is given below:


The feasible region is region between line above BC and to the right of y axis as shown.
Feasible region is unbounded.
Corner points are A, B, C
Value of Z at corner points A, B, C and D –

So, maximum value of Z at corner points is 12 at C and minimum is -16 at A.
So, to check if the solution is correct, we plot 3 x-4 y>12 and 3 x-4 y<-16 for maximum and minimum respectively.
The region represented by 3 x-4 y>12
The line that is 3x – 4y = 12 meets the coordinate axes (4,0) and (0,-3) respectively. When we join these points, we get the line 3x – 4y > 12. It is clear that (0,0) does not satisfy the inequation 3x – 4y > 12. So, the region not containing the origin represents the solution set of the inequation 3x – 4y > 12.
The region represented by 3x – 4y <-16:
The line 3x – 4y = -16 meets the coordinate axes and (0,4) respectively. We will join these points to obtain the line 3x – 4y <-16. It is clear that (0,0) does not satisfy the inequation 3x – 4y <-16. So, the region not containing the origin represents the solution set of the inequation 3x – 4y <-16.
We get the following answer:

Clearly, has no point inside feasible region, but passes through the feasible region.
Therefore, Z has no minimum value it has only a maximum value which is 12.
