Q20 of 118 Page 31

A manufacturer produces two type of steel trunks. He has two machines A and B. For completing, the first types of the trunk requires 3 hours on machine A and 3 hours on machine B, whereas the second type of the trunk requires 3 hours on machine A and 2 hours on machine B . Machines A and B can work at most for 18 hours and 15 hours per day respectively. He earns a profit of Rs 30 and Rs 25 per trunk of the first type and the second type respectively. How many trunks of each type must
he make each day to make maximum profit?

Let x trunks of first type and y trunks of second type were manufactured. Number of trunks cannot be negative.


Therefore, x, y 0


According to the question, the given information can be tabulated as



Therefore, the constraints are,


3x + 3y 18


3x + 2y 15.


He earns a profit of Rs 30 and Rs 25 per trunk of the first type and the second type respectively. Therefore, profit gained by him from x trunks of first type and y trunks of second type is Rs 30x and Rs 25y respectively.


Total profit Z = 30x + 25y which is to be maximized.


Thus, the mathematical formulation of the given LPP is


Max Z = 30x + 25y


Subject to


3x + 3y 18


3x + 2y 15


x, y 0


Region 3x + 3y 18: line 3x + 3y = 18 meets axes at A(6,0), B(0,6) respectively. Region containing origin represents the solution of the inequation 3x + 3y 18 as (0,0) satisfies 3x + 3y 18.


Region 3x + 2y 15: line 3x + 2y = 15 meets axes at C(5,0), D(0,) respectively. Region containing origin represents the solution of the inequation 3x + 2y 15 as (0,0) satisfies 3x + 2y 15.


Region x,y 0: it represents first quadrant.

The corner points are O(0,0), B(0,6), E(3,3), and C(5,0).


The values of Z at these corner points are as follows:



The maximum value of Z is 165 which is attained at E(3,3).


Thus, the maximum profit is of Rs 165 obtained when 3 units of each type of trunk is manufactured.

A manufacturer makes two products A and B. Product A sells at 200 each and takes 1/2 hour to make. Product A sells at ₹ 300 each and takes 1 hours to make. There is a permanent order for 14 of product A and 16 of product B. A working week consists of 40 hours of production and weekly turnover must not be less than Rs 10000. If the profit on each of product A is ₹ 20 and on product B is Rs 30, then how many of each should be produced so that the profit is maximum. Also, find the maximum profit.

A manufacturer of patent medicines is preparing a production plan on medicines, A and B. There are sufficient raw materials available to make 20000 bottles of A and 40000 bottles of B, but there are only 45000 bottles into which either of the medicines can be put. Further, it takes 3 hours to prepare enough material to fill 1000 bottles of A, it takes 1 hours to prepare enough material to fill 1000 bottles of B and there are 66 hours available for this operation. The profit is ₹ 8 per bottle for A and ₹ 7 per bottle for B. How should the manufacturer schedule his production in order to maximize his profit?

An aeroplane can carry a maximum of 200 passengers. A profit of ₹ 400 is made on each first class ticket and a profit of ₹ 600 is made on each economy class ticket. The airline reserves at least 20 seats of first class. However, at least 4 times as many passengers prefer to travel by economy class to the first class. Determine how many each type of tickets must be sold in order to maximize the profit for the airline. What is the maximum profit.
