Let x and y litres of oil be supplied from A to the petrol pumps, D and E. So, will be supplied from A to petrol pump F.
The requirement at petrol pump D is 4500 L. Since x L are transported from depot A, the remaining (4500 – x) L will be transported from petrol pump B.
Similarly L will be transported from depot B to petrol pumps E and F, respectively.
The given problem can be represented diagrammatically as given below:

Cost of transporting 10 L of petrol = Rs. 1
Cost of transporting 1 L of petrol = Rs. 1/10
Hence, the total transportation cost is given by,
The problem can be formulated as given below:

Let godown A supply x and y quintals of grain to shops D and E.
So, will be supplied to shop F.
Since x quintals are transported from godown A, the requirement at shop D is 60 quintals. Hence, the remaining (60 – x) quintals will be transported from godown B.
Similarly, (50 – y) quintals and quintals will be transported from godown B to shop E and F.
The given problem can be represented diagrammatically as given below:

Then,
Total transportation cost z is given by,
The given problem can be formulated as given below:
Subject to the constraints,
The feasible region determined by the system of constraints is given b

Let the airline sell x tickets of executive class and y tickets of economy class, respectively.
The mathematical formulation of the given problem can be written as given below:
Subject to the constraints,
The feasible region determined by the constraints is given below:

A (20, 80), B (40, 160) and C (20, 180) are the corner points of the feasible region.
The values of z at these corner points are given below:
Corner Point | z = 1000x + 600y | |
A (20, 80) | 68000 | |
B (40, 160) | 136000 | Maximum |
C (20, 180) | 128000 |
136000 at (40, 160) is the maximum value of z.
Therefore, 40 tickets of the executive class and 160 tickets of the economy class should be sold to maximise the profit, and the maximum profit is? 136000.

Let x and y toys of type A and type B be manufactured in a day, respectively.
The given problem can be formulated as given below:
Subject to the constraints,
The feasible region determined by the constraints is given below:

A (20, 0), B (20, 20), C (15, 30) and D (0, 40) are the corner points of the feasible region.
The values of z at these corner points are given below:
Corner Point | z = 7.5x + 5y | |
A (20, 0) | 150 | |
B (20, 20) | 250 | |
C (15, 30) | 262.5 | Maximum |
D (0, 40) | 200 |
262.5 at (15, 30) is the maximum value of z.
Hence, the manufacturer should manufacture 15 toys of type A and 30 toys of type B to maximise the profit.

Let the mixture contain x kg of food X and y kg of food Y, respectively.
The mathematical formulation of the given problem can be written as given below:
Subject to the constraints,
The feasible region determined by the system of constraints is given below:

A (10, 0), B (2, 4), C (1, 5) and D (0, 8) are the corner points of the feasible region.
The values of z at these corner points are given below:
Corner Point | z = 16x + 20y | |
A (10, 0) | 160 | |
B (2, 4) | 112 | Minimum |
C (1, 5) | 116 | |
D (0, 8) | 160 |
Since the feasible region is unbounded, 112 may or may not be the minimum value of z.
For this purpose, we draw a graph of the inequality, , and check whether the resulting half-plane has points in common with the feasible region or not

Let the farmer mix x bags of brand P and y bags of brand Q, respectively
The given information can be compiled in a table as given below:
Vitamin A (units/kg) | Vitamin B (units/kg) | Vitamin C (units/kg) | Cost (Rs/kg) | |
Food P | 3 | 2.5 | 2 | 250 |
Food Q | 1.5 | 11.25 | 3 | 200 |
Requirement (units/kg) | 18 | 45 | 24 |
The given problem can be formulated as given below:
The feasible region determined by the system of constraints is given below:

A (18, 0), B (9, 2), C (3, 6) and D (0, 12) are the corner points of the feasible region.
The values of z at these corner points are given below:
Corner Point | z = 250x + 200y | |
A (18, 0) | 4500 | |
B (9, 2) | 2650 | |
C (3, 6) | 1950 | Minimum |
D (0, 12) | 2400 |
Here, the feasible region is unbounded; hence, 1950 may or may not be the minimum value of z.
For this purpose, we draw a graph of the inequality, , and check whether the resulting half-plane has points in common with the feasi

Let the diet contain x and y packets of foods P and Q, respectively. Hence,
x ≥ 0 and y ≥ 0
The mathematical formulation of the given problem is given below:
Subject to the constraints,
The feasible region determined by the system of constraints is given below:

A (15, 20), B (40, 15) and C (2, 72) are the corner points of the feasible region
The values of z at these corner points are as given below:
Corner Point | z = 6x + 3y | |
A (15, 20) | 150 | |
B (40, 15) | 285 | Maximum |
C (2, 72) | 228 |
So, the maximum value of z is 285 at (40, 15).
Hence, to maximise the amount of vitamin A in the diet, 40 packets of food P and 15 packets of food Q should be used.
The maximum amount of vitamin A in the diet is 285 units.

The maximum value of Z is unique.
It is given that the maximum value of Z occurs at two points, (3, 4) and (0, 5).
∴ Value of Z at (3, 4) = Value of Z at (0, 5)
Hence, the correct answer is D.
Hence option (D) is correct.

Let the farmer buy x kg of fertilizer F1 and y kg of fertilizer F2. Therefore,
x ≥ 0 and y ≥ 0
The given information can be complied in a table as follows.
| Nitrogen (%) | Phosphoric Acid (%) | Cost (Rs/kg) |
F1 (x) | 10 | 6 | 6 |
F2 (y) | 5 | 10 | 5 |
Requirement (kg) | 14 | 14 |
F1 consists of 10% nitrogen and F2 consists of 5% nitrogen. However, the farmer requires at least 14 kg of nitrogen.
F1 consists of 6% phosphoric acid and F2 consists of 10% phosphoric acid. However, the farmer requires at least 14 kg of phosphoric acid.
