$A$ manufacturer has three machines $I, II$ and $III$ installed in his factory. Machines $I$ and $II$ are capable of being operated for at most $12 \, hours$ whereas machine $III$ must be operated for at least $5 \, hours$ a day. She produces only two items $M$ and $N$ each requiring the use of all the three machines. The number of hours required for producing $1$ unit of each of $M$ and $N$ on the three machines are given in the following table:
ItemsMachine $I$Machine $II$Machine $III$
$M$$1$$2$$1$
$N$$2$$1$$1.25$

She makes a profit of $Rs. \, 600$ and $Rs. \, 400$ on items $M$ and $N$ respectively. How many of each item should she produce so as to maximise her profit assuming that she can sell all the items that she produced? What will be the maximum profit?

  • A
    $4$ units of $M$ and $4$ units of $N$,Maximum Profit $= Rs. \, 4000$
  • B
    $6$ units of $M$ and $0$ units of $N$,Maximum Profit $= Rs. \, 3600$
  • C
    $0$ units of $M$ and $6$ units of $N$,Maximum Profit $= Rs. \, 2400$
  • D
    $5$ units of $M$ and $0$ units of $N$,Maximum Profit $= Rs. \, 3000$

$A$ production unit makes a special type of metal chip by combining copper and brass. The standard weight of the chip must be at least $5 \text{ gms}$. The basic ingredients,i.e.,copper and brass,cost $₹8$ and $₹5$ per $\text{gm}$ respectively. Durability considerations dictate that the metal chip must not contain more than $4 \text{ gms}$ of brass and should contain a minimum of $2 \text{ gms}$ of copper. Then,the minimum cost of the metal chip satisfying the above conditions is:

There are two factories located at place $P$ and place $Q$. From these locations,a certain commodity is to be delivered to each of the three depots situated at $A, B$ and $C$. The weekly requirements of the depots are $5, 5$ and $4$ units respectively,while the production capacities of the factories at $P$ and $Q$ are $8$ and $6$ units respectively. The cost of transportation per unit is given below:
From/To$A$$B$$C$
$P$$160$$100$$150$
$Q$$100$$120$$100$

How many units should be transported from each factory to each depot in order that the transportation cost is minimum? What will be the minimum transportation cost?

$A$ manufacturing company produces two items,$A$ and $B$. Each item must be processed by two machines,$I$ and $II$. Machine $I$ can be operated for a maximum of $10$ hours $40$ minutes ($640$ minutes). It takes $20$ minutes for an item $A$ and $15$ minutes for an item $B$. Machine $II$ can be operated for a maximum of $8$ hours $20$ minutes ($500$ minutes). It takes $5$ minutes for an item $A$ and $8$ minutes for an item $B$. The profit per item of $A$ is ₹ $25$ and per item of $B$ is ₹ $18$. The formulation of an $L.P.P.$ to maximize the profit (where $x$ is the number of items $A$ and $y$ is the number of items $B$) is . . . . . . .
