A manufacturer produces two models of bikes-model $X$ and model $Y$. Model $X$ takes a 6 man-hours to make per unit, while model $Y$ takes 10 man hours per unit. There is a total of 450 man-hour available per week. Handling and marketing costs are ₹ 2000 and ₹ 1000 per unit for models $X$ and $Y$, respectively. The total funds available for these purposes are ₹ 80000 per week. Profits per unit for models $X$ and $Y$ are ₹ $1000$ and ₹ 500 , respectively. How many bikes of each model should the manufacturer produce, so as to yield a maximum profit? Find the maximum profit.

Explanation

Let the manufacturer produces $x$ number of models $X$ and $y$ number of model $Y$ bikes. Model $X$ takes a 6 man-hours to make per unit and model $Y$ takes a 10 man-hours to make per unit.

There is total of 450 man-hour available per week.

$$\begin{gathered} \therefore 6 x+10 y \leq 450 \\ \Rightarrow\quad 3 x+5 y \leq 225\quad\text{.... (i)} \end{gathered}$$

For models $X$ and $Y$, handling and marketing costs are ₹ $2000$ and ₹ $1000$, respectively, total funds available for these purposes are ₹ 80000 per week.

$$\begin{array}{lc} \therefore & 2000 x+1000 y \leq 80000 \\ \Rightarrow & 2 x+y \leq 80 \quad\text{.... (ii)}\\ \text { Also, } & x \geq 0, y \geq 0 \end{array}$$

Hence, the profits per unit for models $X$ and $Y$ are ₹ $1000$ and ₹ $500$, respectively.

$\therefore$ Required LPP is

Maximise $Z=1000 x+500 y$

Subject to, $3 x+5 y \leq 225,2 x+y \leq 80, x \geq 0, y \geq 0$

From the shaded feasible region, it is clear that coordinates of corner points are $( 0,0 ), (40,0),(25,30)$ and $(0,45)$.

On solving $3 x+5 y=225$ and $2 x+y=80$, we get

$$x=25, y=30$$

Corner points Value of $Z=1000x+500y$
(0, 0) 0
(40, 0) 40000 $\leftarrow$ Maximum
(25, 30) 25000 + 15000 = 40000 $\leftarrow$ Maximum
(0, 45) 22500

So, the manufacturer should produce 25 bikes of model $X$ and 30 bikes of model $Y$ to get a maximum profit of ₹ $40000$.

Since, in question it is asked that each model bikes should be produced.

In order to supplement daily diet, a person wishes to take some $X$ and some wishes $Y$ tablets. The contents of iron, calcium and vitamins in $X$ and $Y$ (in mg/tablet) are given as below

Tablets Iron Calcium Vitamin
X 6 3 2
Y 2 3 4

The person needs atleast 18 mg of iron, 21 mg of calcium and 16 mg of vitamins. The price of each tablet of $X$ and $Y$ is ₹ $2$ and ₹1, respectively. How many tablets of each should the person take in order to satisfy the above requirement at the minimum cost?

Explanation

Let the person takes $x$ units of tablet $X$ and $y$ units of tablet $Y$.

So, from the given information, we have

$$\begin{aligned} & 6 x+2 y \geq 18 \Rightarrow 3 x+y \geq 9 \quad\text{.... (i)}\\ & 3 x+3 y \geq 21 \Rightarrow x+y \geq 7 \quad\text{.... (ii)}\\ & 2 x+4 y \geq 16 \Rightarrow x+2 y \geq 8 \quad\text{.... (iii)} \end{aligned}$$

Also, we know that here, $x \geq 0, y \geq 0\quad\text{.... (iv)}$

The price of each tablet of $X$ and $Y$ is ₹ $2$ and ₹ $1$, respectively.

So, the corresponding LPP is minimise $Z=2 x+y$, subject to $3 x+y \geq 9, x+y \geq 7$, $x+2 y \geq 8, x \geq 0, y \geq 0$

From the shaded graph, we see that for the shown unbounded region, we have coordinates of corner points $A, B, C$ and $D$ as $(8,0),(6,1),(1,6)$, and $(0,9)$, respectively.

[on solving $x+2 y=8$ and $x+y=7$, we get $x=6, y=1$ and on solving $3 x+y=9$ and $x+y=7$, we get $x=1, y=6]$

Corner points Value of $Z=2x+y$
(8, 0) 16
(6, 1) 13
(1, 6) 8 $\leftarrow$ Minimum
(0, 9) 9

Thus, we see that 8 is the minimum value of $Z$ at the corner point $(1,6)$. Here, we see that the feasible region is unbounded. Therefore, 8 may or may not be the minimum value of $Z$. To decide this issue, we graph the inequality

$$2 x+y<8\quad\text{.... (v)}$$

and check whether the resulting open half has points in common with feasible region or not. If it has common point, then 8 will not be the minimum value of $Z$, otherwise 8 will be the minimum value of $Z$.

Thus, from the graph it is clear that, it has no common point.

Therefore, $Z=2 x+y$ has 8 as minimum value subject to the given constraints.

Hence, the person should take 1 unit of $X$ tablet and 6 units of $Y$ tablets to satisfy the given requirements and at the minimum cost of ₹ $8$.

A company makes 3 model of calculators; $A, B$ and $C$ at factory $I$ and factory II. The company has orders for atleast 6400 calculators of model $A, 4000$ calculators of model $B$ and 4800 calculators of model $C$. At factory I, 50 calculators of model $A, 50$ of model $B$ and 30 of model $C$ are made everyday; at factory II, 40 calculators of model $A, 20$ of model $B$ and 40 of model $C$ are made everyday. It costs ₹ 12000 and ₹ 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.

Explanation

Let the factory I operate for $x$ days and the factory II operate for $y$ days.

At factory I, 50 calculators of model A and at factory II, 40 calculators of model $A$ are made everyday. Also, company has ordered for atleast 6400 calculators of model $A$.

$$\therefore \quad 50 x+40 y \geq 6400 \Rightarrow 5 x+4 y \geq 640\quad\text{.... (i)}$$

Also, at factory I, 50 calculators of model $B$ and at factory II, 20 calculators of modal $B$ are made everyday.

Since, the company has ordered atleast 4000 calculators of model $B$.

$\therefore \quad 50 x+20 y \geq 4000 \Rightarrow 5 x+2 y \geq 400\quad\text{.... (ii)}$

$$ \begin{array}{lc} \text { Similarly, for model C, } & 30 x+40 y \geq 4800 \\ \Rightarrow & 3 x+4 y \geq 480 \quad\text{.... (iii)}\\ \text { Also, } & x \geq 0, y \geq 0\quad\text{.... (iv)} \end{array}$$

[since, $x$ and $y$ are non-negative] It costs ₹ 12000 and ₹ $15000$ each day to operate factories I and II, respectively.

$\therefore$ Corresponding LPP is,

Minimise $Z=12000 x+15000 y$, subject to

$$\begin{gathered} 5 x+4 y \geq 640 \\ 5 x+2 y \geq 400 \\ 3 x+4 y \geq 480 \\ x \geq 0, y \geq 0 \end{gathered}$$

On solving $3 x+4 y=480$ and $5 x+4 y=640$, we get $x=80, y=60$.

On solving $5 x+4 y=640$ and $5 x+2 y=400$, we get $x=32, y=120$

Thus, from the graph, it is clear that feasible region is unbounded and the coordinates of corner points $A, B, C$ and $D$ are $(160,0),(80,60),(32,120)$ and $(0,200)$, respectively.

Corner points Value of $Z=12000x+15000y$
(160, 0) $160 \times 12000=1920000$
(80, 60) $(80 \times 12+60 \times 15) \times 1000=1860000 \leftarrow$ Minimum
(32, 120) $(32 \times 12+120 \times 15) \times 1000=2184000$
(0, 200) $0+200 \times 15000=3000000$

From the above table, it is clear that for given unbounded region the minimum value of $Z$ may or may not be 1860000.

Now, for deciding this, we graph the inequality

$$\begin{gathered} 12000 x+15000 y<1860000 \\ 4 x+5 y<620 \end{gathered}$$

and check whether the resulting open half plane has points in common with feasible region or not.

Thus, as shown in the figure, it has no common points so, $Z=12000 x+15000 y$ has minimum value 1860000 .

So, number of days factory I should be operated is 80 and number of days factory II should be operated is 60 for the minimum cost and satisfying the given constraints.

Maximise and minimise $Z=3 x-4 y$ subject to $x-2 y \leq 0,-3 x+y \leq 4$, $x-y \leq 6$ and $x, y \geq 0$.

Explanation

Given LPP is,

maximise and minimise $Z=3 x-4 y$ subject to $x-2 y \leq 0,-3 x+y \leq 4, x-y \leq 6, x, y \geq 0$.

[on solving $x-y=6$ and $x-2 y=0$, we get $x=12, y=6$ ]

From the shown graph, for the feasible region, we see that it is unbounded and coordinates of corner points are $(0,0),(12,6)$ and $(0,4)$.

Corner points Corresponding value of $Z=3x-4y$
(0, 0) 0
(0, 4) $-$16 $\leftarrow$ Minimum
(12, 6) 12 $\leftarrow$ Maximum

For given unbounded region the minimum value of $Z$ may or may not be $-16$ . So, for deciding this, we graph the inequality.

$$3 x-4 y<-16$$

and check whether the resulting open half plane has common points with feasible region or not.

Thus, from the figure it shows it has common points with feasible region, so it does not have any minimum value.

Also, similarly for maximum value, we graph the inequality $3 x-4 y>12$ and see that resulting open half plane has no common points with the feasible region and hence maximum value 12 exist for $Z=3 x-4 y$.
