A man rides his motorcycle at the speed of $50 \mathrm{~km} / \mathrm{h}$. He has to spend ₹ 2 per km on petrol. If he rides it at a faster speed of $80 \mathrm{~km} / \mathrm{h}$, the petrol cost increases to ₹ 3 per km. He has atmost ₹ 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.

Explanation

Let the man rides to his motorcycle to a distance $x \mathrm{~km}$ at the speed of $50 \mathrm{~km} / \mathrm{h}$ and to a distance $y \mathrm{~km}$ at the speed of $80 \mathrm{~km} / \mathrm{h}$.

Therefore, cost on petrol is $2 x+3 y$.

Since, he has to spend ₹ $120$ atmost on petrol.

$$\therefore \quad 2 x+3 y \leq 120\quad\text{.... (i)}$$

Also, he has atmost one hour's time.

$$\begin{array}{ll} \therefore & \frac{x}{50}+\frac{y}{80} \leq 1 \\ \Rightarrow & 8 x+5 y \leq 400 \quad\text{.... (ii)} \end{array}$$

Also, we have $x \geq 0, y \geq 0$ [non-negative constraints]

Thus, required LPP to travel maximum distance by him is Maximise $Z=x+y$, subject to $2 x+3 y \leq 120,8 x+5 y \leq 400, x \geq 0, y \geq 0$

Refer to question 11. How many of circuits of type $A$ and of type $B$, should be produced by the manufacturer, so as to maximise his profit? Determine the maximum profit.

Explanation

Referring to solution 11 , we have

Maximise $Z=50 x+60 y$, subject to

$$2 x+y \leq 20, x+2 y \leq 12, x+3 y \leq 15, x \geq 0, y \geq 0$$

From the shaded region it is clear that the feasible region determined by the system of constraints is $O A B C D$ and is bounded and the coordinates of corner points are $(0,0)$, $(10,0),\left(\frac{28}{3}, \frac{4}{3}\right),(6,3)$ and $(0,5)$, respectively.

[since, $x+2 y=12$ and $2 x+y=20 \Rightarrow x=\frac{28}{3}, y=\frac{4}{3}$ and $x+3 y=15$ and $x+2 y=12 \Rightarrow y=3$ and $x=6$ ]

Corner points Corresponding value of $Z=50x+60y$
(0, 0) 0
(10, 0) 500
$\left(\frac{28}{3}, \frac{4}{3}\right)$ $\frac{1400}{3}+\frac{240}{3}=\frac{1640}{3}=546.66 \leftarrow$ Maximum
(6, 3) 480
(0, 5) 300

Since, the manufacturer is required to produce two types of circuits $A$ and $B$ and it is clear that parts of resistor, transistor and capacitor cannot be in fraction, so the required maximum profit is 480 where circuits of type $A$ is 6 and circuits of type $B$ is 3.

Refer to question 12 . What will be the minimum cost?

Explanation

Referring to solution 12 , we have minimise $Z=400 x+200 y$, subject to $5 x+2 y \geq 30$,

$$2 x+y \leq 15, x \leq y, x \geq 0, y \geq 0$$

On solving $x-y=0$ and $5 x+2 y=30$, we get

$$y=\frac{30}{7}, x=\frac{30}{7}$$

On solving $x-y=0$ and $2 x+y=15$, we get $x=5, y=5$

So, from the shaded feasible region it is clear that coordinates of corner points are $(0,15)$, $(5,5)$ and $\left(\frac{30}{7}, \frac{30}{7}\right)$.

Corner points Corresponding value of $Z=400x+200y$
(0, 15) 3000
(5, 5) 3000
$\left(\frac{30}{7}, \frac{30}{7}\right)$ $\begin{gathered}400 \times \frac{30}{7}+200 \times \frac{30}{7}=\frac{18000}{7} \\ =2571.43 \leftarrow \text { Minimum }\end{gathered}$

Hence, the minimum cost is ₹2571.43.

Refer to question 13 . Solve the linear programming problem and determine the maximum profit to the manufacturer.

Explanation

Referring to solution 13 , we have Maximise $Z=100 x+170 y$ subject to

$$3 x+2 y \leq 3600, x+4 y \leq 1800, x \geq 0, y \geq 0$$

From the shaded feasible region it is clear that the coordinates of corner points are $(0,0)$, $(1200,0),(1080,180)$ and $(0,450)$.

On solving $x+4 y=1800$ and $3 x+2 y=3600$, we get $x=1080$ and $y=180$

Corner points Corresponding value of $Z=100x+170y$
(0, 0) 0
(1200, 0) $1200 \times 100=120000$
(1080, 180) $100 \times 1080+170 \times 180=138600 \leftarrow$ Maximum
(0, 450) $0+170\times450=76500$

Hence, the maximum profit to the manufacturer is 138600.

Refer to question 14 . How many sweaters of each type should the company make in a day to get a maximum profit? What is the maximum profit?

Explanation

Referring to solution 14 , we have maximise $Z=200 x+120 y$ subject to $x+y \leq 300,3 x+y \leq 600, x-y \geq-100, x \geq 0, y \geq 0$.

On solving $x+y=300$ and $3 x+y=600$, we get

$$x=150, y=150$$

On solving $x-y=-100$ and $x+y=300$, we get

$$x=100, y=200$$

From the shaded feasible region it is clear that coordinates of corner points are $(0,0)$, $(200,0),(150,150),(100,200)$ and $(0,100)$.

Corner points Corresponding value of $Z=100x+120y$
(0, 0) 0
(200, 0) 40000
(150, 150) $150 \times 200+120 \times 150=48000 \leftarrow$ Maximum
(100, 200) $100\times200+120\times200=44000$
(0, 100) $120\times100=12000$

Hence, 150 sweaters of each type made by company and maximum profit = ₹ $48000$.
